Sves News: In addition to the ruling party, the Democratic Party and its satellite parties occupied 180 seats.

And all kinds of speculation are arising about these 180 seats. What kind of power is hidden in this number?

Is this intense reaction justified?  The National Assembly uses the concept of a quorum.

To address a specific agenda, such as a budget or bill, it represents the minimum number of members required.

If only 5 out of 300 lawmakers voted, the bill couldn't pass.  Especially for important matters, more votes are needed.

The law mandates a quorum for each agenda, and it varies.  Numbers like 151, 180, and 200 are mentioned.

Let's look at 151 first. This is a significant number, representing a majority of parliament members.

Only with this number of attendees can the National Assembly's plenary session open.  More than 500 trillion won in government budget votes passed.

Now, the ruling party alone has over 150 seats.  They can hold a plenary session and pass a budget proposal anytime.

Is that all? With 151 members, they can impeach the Prime Minister, Justices, Judges, Prosecutors, Constitutional Court Judges, Police Commissioners, and members of the Central Election Management Committee.

Then, what else can the ruling party do with 180 seats?

In short, the ruling party can pass legislation whenever they want, thanks to the expedited agenda system.

For laws deemed necessary, 60% of all parliamentarians—or 180 votes—allow a vote in the National Assembly plenary session after a certain period.

In the National Assembly where the ruling party won 180 seats, once a vote begins, they can pass the bill.

In fact, even creating and passing a bill is unchecked by the opposition.  The opposition's only recourse is...

There are also the Philly Buster Islands. The Philly Buster is also a magical number. If you have 180 votes, you can end it on the spot.

Passing the bill as you like. A number that can neutralize all opposition resistance: that's 180 seats.

Then, what are the items that require a 200-member quorum? Or just dismissing other lawmakers... Changing the constitution, the basis of the law...

To the President, the chief executive of the administration... It is to vote on the impeachment proposition.

President Park Geun-hye's impeachment proposition was declared. Because these things have a huge impact on the country, two-thirds of all seats, or 200, were required.

Anyway, the ruling party with 180 seats is perfect. Almost all legislative activities except this, the state has been able to do without opposition.

In fact, in the political history of Korea, this is the first time that a ruling party with a strong seating capacity of 180 seats was born.

In addition, when Democratic Party elect Lee Nak-yeon was dismissed, I even said this:

I feel a great responsibility with my whole body. I will work with the will of the people who did not support me and our party.

With the wide support of the people, I hope to use this power for the people well.
