Jun-Seok who became the peak of hope

Jun-Seok who became the peak of hope

Finally made it
Junseok did it.

Yesterday, on June 11, 2021, at the National Power of the People Convention, he was elected as the party leader with support approaching about 44%, defeating a worthy competitor. I think this is a very welcome thing as it heralds a big change in the political history of our country.

I am not affiliated with any political party, nor am I deeply interested in politics. However, he usually has a progressive tendency and is a person who tries to accept any change with an open mind and seeks change.

In particular, he thinks that politics should be young because he thinks that real politics is the future.
The story is based on the idea that if politics is to open the future of the country, then the forces that reflect the opinions of those who will lead the future should become the political actors.

In other words, it is the idea that the interested party knows how to solve any problem well, and that the problem can be solved for them as they wish only if the interested party solves the problem on their own.

Therefore, I think that politics is the future, so I always think that when younger people participate in politics and solve their problems directly with their thoughts, that is hope.

Therefore, I think that politics is not a place to accumulate experience, but a place where young people with willpower should invest in freshness.
In that sense, I think the current electoral system needs to be changed a lot.

When Korea introduced the electoral system with the establishment of the government in 1948, all citizens over the age of 21 were guaranteed the right to vote. The voting age was then lowered to 20 in 1960. And in 2005, it was lowered to 19, and in 2020, it was lowered to 18, but in my opinion, it is okay to be given the right to vote if you are 16 or older.

At that age, I believe that I am of a sufficient age to take responsibility for thinking and pioneering one's life seriously, as well as right and wrong, and to contribute to society, and furthermore, I can exercise my right to make a right choice as a citizen.
Also, I don't think it's bad to instill the consciousness of a responsible citizen through experience early on.

Of course, the right to vote should be drastically reduced.
In Korea, which is a presidential system, a person who can be elected as president has the right to be elected as a member of the National Assembly and must be 40 years of age as of the election day. You must also have lived in Korea for at least 5 years as of the election day. it is said However, I think the right to run for president should be lowered to the age of 33-35.

At this age, if a man is a man, 10 years have passed since he finished his military service. If a citizen who has completed his military duty has accumulated 10 years of experience, it is considered that he is old enough to run the country.

The right to be elected as a member of the National Assembly is given to those who are 25 years of age or older as of the election day and are citizens of the Republic of Korea. However, this also seems meaningful to lower the age to 22 or 23 only when military service has been completed. In particular, as a member of the national legislative body and representative of the people, in the case of a candidate for a constituency member of the National Assembly, the resident registration in the constituency Even if this does not happen, you have the right to be elected. In this way, in order to be eligible to be elected as a member of the local constituency, one must reside in the relevant area.

According to the current law, citizens must be 25 years of age or older as of the election day to qualify for the election for local government heads and local council members, but this should also be drastically reduced to 20 years old only for local council members.

If you misunderstand my story, it may seem like a story that it is always good to be young, but it is not. This is the idea that, even if the ability is sufficient, qualifications, especially the age limit, are not a problem.

Thinking more about it, I don't think it's a bad idea to remove the age limit altogether. I don't think all of you will come forward with the removal of the age limit, but I think that when there is a special issue, really young leaders can come out and it can be a good learning ground for newcomers in Cheongchi.

I am not a person who supports young people only with words or has friendly thoughts.
In the 19th National Assembly election in 2012, I made a donation to the Youth Party, which was established with the keynote of youth independence, national happiness, and political reform, and hung up a placard to promote the election. There is this. Unfortunately, I was not able to advance into the university, but I was positively welcome to the young friends trying to solve their problems on their own.

Now the leader of the first opposition party has become a young friend of the zero lines.
The Conservative Party, which has not paid much attention in the past, is likely to attract attention in the hope that it will make a proper chance, and I am willing to support in the next presidential election as long as I don't go further and appoint a person as good as kkakdugi as the presidential candidate.

Now, as a member of the people, I welcome Jun-Seok's election as the party leader, thinking that it is not just a young politics that cries out for words, but an opportunity for the Republic of Korea to truly become young.

So I want to talk with my heart.
Congratulations to Lee Jun-Seok as the party leader.
I sincerely hope that you will make a hopeful politics that can support young people.

Thank you.
