Saenuri Party loses its majority in the National Assembly

1. I was glad to see the Saenuri Party lose

I live in Bucheon and we will have all liberal representatives. WHOO!

There were 11 independents, most of them broke off from the Saenuri Party because they were told they could not run. They then ran as I's and then will (from what I've heard) rejoin the party.

What the Minjoo Party needs is to get some kind of power sharing arrangement with the People's Party so they have upward of 150 seats, which would be a minimum majority.

I heard the two parties tried to come to an agreement on running single candidates, but couldn't. This is the same problem the liberals have had in the past two presidential elections. I hope they figure this shit out before the presidential election at the end of next year or we are going to be stuck with another conservative president.
