	Democratic Party (South Korea) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Democratic Party is a political party of South Korea.
		President Roh Moo-hyun was elected as the party's candidate in 2002, but he subsequently left the party and his supporters formed the Uri Party in 2003.
		The MDP lost popularity when Roh was impeached in March of 2004 by the National Assembly for illegal electioneering and incompetence charges with support from the Grand National Party, losing 53 seats to a total of only 9 seats in the 2004 parliamentary election.

		After the April 2000 elections, President Kim Dae Jung's Millennium Democratic (MDP) party (42% of the seats) remained second to the Grand National (GNP) party (49%); 2002 by-elections increased the GNP share to a legislative majority, further constraining the power of newly elected President Roh Moo Hyun of the MDP.
		The country's first ever impeachment bill was sponsored by the opposition Millennium Democratic Party (MDP) and the Grand National Party (GNP) on the grounds that Roh had violated his constitutional neutrality by a statement in February encouraging people to vote for the Uri Party in legislative elections scheduled for 15 April.
		Those elections were won by the recently formed Uri Party, which displaced the GNP as the dominant party in the legislature.

		Millennium Democratic Party officials say the bill will be submitted Tuesday and a vote could be held the following day.
		Although the two parties - as a combined force - theoretically have enough votes to introduce the bill and to impeach the president, it is unclear whether enough legislators will actually support the effort.
		Roh was a member of the MDP until last September and is expected to join the Uri Party soon.

		The Uri Party is a political party in South Korea.
		This is an (partial) overview of individuals that contributed to the development of liberal theory on a worldwide scale and therefore are strongly associated with the liberal tradition and instrumental in the exposition of political liberalism as a philosophy.
		Liberal democracy is a form of representative democracy where elected representatives that hold the decision power are moderated by a constitution that emphasizes protecting individual liberties and the rights of minorities in society, such as freedom of speech and assembly, freedom of religion, the right to private property and privacy...

		Under these circumstances, President Kim, his administration and the semi-governing Millennium Democratic Party are mistakenly calling her the Korean equivalent to "prime minister deputy," with the "deputy" denoting a person appointed or authorized to act as a substitute for another.
		The opposition party has since called on her to abstain from conducting the official duties of the prime minister until July 31 when the National Assembly is scheduled to vote after two days of hearing on her qualifications for the appointed office.
		In hindsight, the opposition party should have demanded the due constitutional process of appointing a prime minister when a cabinet shakeup was known to be impending and President Kim should have respected the party's opinion when he reshuffled the cabinet.

	Send in the Red Guards at The Marmot’s Hole
		Millennium Democratic Party (MDP) spokesperson Kim Yeong-hwan said that with the President “mustering his army,” he was not in keeping with the election law or the responsibility of public servants to remain neutral during an election.
		Granted, the GNP and MDP have been forming something of an unofficial (and some would say “unholy”) alliance of sorts against the President and his supporters in the Uri Party, but to see both red-baiting on the same day is truly astounding.
		Heck, to see the MDP red-baiting at all is a bit queer, given that much of that party’s core have spent their political careers being tarred with the “pink” label.

		Following the recent defections, the MDP has been left with only 64 seats out of 272 in the National Assembly, which is controlled by the opposition Grand National Party.
