I'll get you a six pack the next time both of us are in Seoul, but I get to drink half of it. random guy,

That is indeed a quibble, but I will pay the Devil his due if we are going to be technical about it (Uri is functionally broken up).

I’ll get you a six pack the next time both of us are in Seoul, but I get to drink half of it.

Anyhow, the announcement merely states the leaders are creating a new party. There is still a party meeting to be held to determine the fate of the Uri party, is there not? Not to quibble Mr. Jackson, but I believe you owe me a six pack of beer. :D How irritating is it that you can’t edit your own posts?

Andy also points to a Korea Herald piece, noting that perhaps 80% of Uri members will join the new party, and that many of the members want to merge with the Democratic Party, or perhaps “other” parties.
