Could a filibuster provision help Korea avoid, uh, parliamentary drama?
Park Chan-wook editorial in the JoongAng Daily asks the question:
Could the filibuster system improve the National Assembly’s procedures? Representatives Kwon Young-jin, Park Sang-cheon and Yoo Jeong-bok each submitted bills to introduce filibusters to end the extreme confrontation between the ruling and opposition parties and resolve the subsequent legislative gridlock. The three bills are currently pending in the steering committee.
Personally, I’d rather have long winded grind sessions than fights with fire extinguishers.
