This is something I have to find out I guess. This makes no sense. Why even have different parties if you get in trouble for choosing sides?

Isn't this what citizens do in a democracy? The last bit of the ruling that says that everyone is entitled to free expression but Shin shouldn't be allowed to comment on politics...sounds like bullshit to me. If you can't try to persuade others of your opinion, then how can there be free expression? Except for shouting fire in theatres and threatening violence, there is free speach or there is not. “Tried to influence the election through his parody works”
