[정치]Seoul,’hand’ to progressive camp 8 times in a row…will the shout collapse for 10 years?

[앵커]

It is the voters in the Seoul area who have served the hands of liberal political parties in various elections over the past 10 years for eight times in a row.

This is why the Democratic Party has been relatively confident as the mayor of Seoul in this by-election.

However, with the LH suspicion and other unexpected bad news before the election, there is no guarantee of a winning streak for the Democratic Party.

Reporter Song Jae-in’s report.

Over the past 10 years, the Seoul area has become a de facto base for progressive political parties.

In 2011, the by-election of the mayor of Seoul was held due to the resignation of former Mayor Oh Se-hoon.

As it was held on the progressive agenda of free meals, the Democratic Party and the progressive camp united together, and in the end, Candidate Won-soon Park was elected mayor.

Later in Seoul, the progressive camp continued to win.

The Saenuri Party won the majority of the seats in the 19th general election in 2012, but the Democratic Unification Party and the Unified Progressive Party were ahead of the Saenuri Party and the Liberal Advanced Party in terms of the percentage of votes from political parties in Seoul.

Even during the 18th presidential election, when former President Park Geun-hye was elected, candidate Moon Jae-in received more votes in the Seoul area.

In the’Green Wind’ of the National Assembly Party, the Saenuri Party lost its seat in the park, and the 20th general election

From the 19th presidential election, in which President Moon Jae-in was elected, to the 21st general election, which gave birth to the ruling Democratic Party, the public sentiment of the Seoul area leaned toward progressive camp.

Including the two local elections held by the late Mayor Park Won-soon, the progressive camp has won the Seoul district vote eight times in a row in the elections held in the last 10 years.

However, it is unclear whether this trend can be maintained in this by-election.

This is because the flow of public sentiment is not serious as the accumulated real estate policy failures overlap with allegations of speculation from LH.

This means that depending on the results of the Seoul Mayor’s by-election, Seoul may harden or overturn the huge political landscape of our society, which is a progressive tendency.

Whether the passport achieves 9 consecutive wins or the opposition breaks the chain of losing streaks, it has no choice but to have a big impact on the presidential election for the one year remaining.
