Can’t agree on poll questions and methods, etc.

Hong Joon-pyo and other opposition champions urge a consensus

There are even signs of a prolonged battle between candidate Oh Se-hoon and National Party candidate Ahn Cheol-soo over the unification of Seoul Mayor’s opposition candidates. This is because both sides are continuing a nerve war over questions and methods of polls. Accordingly, the prospect of exceeding the 19 days originally set as the unified deadline is raised. There is an atmosphere that does not rule out the possibility that unification negotiations will continue until the 29th, which is the start date of printing the ballot.

On the 17th, it was reported that the working-level negotiations of both sides were playing a final tug of war in the question and method of the poll. Even in the ratio of wired and wireless phone calls in public opinion polls, it is still not easy to coordinate disagreements. If the unification method is not agreed by this day, registration of a single candidate for opposition becomes practically difficult. Both sides were scheduled to conduct a public opinion poll for two days from that day, and then determine and register a single candidate on the 19th. Candidate Ahn’s recent negotiations have been delayed as’Virtual Confrontation’ methods such as’Park Young-sun vs. Oh Se-hoon’ and’Park Young-sun vs. Ahn Cheol-soo’ were put on the discussion table. In response, Candidate Oh is protesting that it is a method other than the previously discussed fitness and competitiveness survey. An official from the People’s Power criticized that “Candidate Ahn’s side insists on bringing out a method that is most advantageous to them at the last minute.”

Observations are leaking that the deadline for negotiations could be postponed until the 29th as the situation continues to rebound. If the unification fails by the 29th, three columns will be created on the ballot: “No. 1 Together with Democratic Party Park Young-seon,” “No. 2 People’s Power Oh Se-hun,” and “4th National Assembly Party Ahn Chul-soo”. However, if one of the two opposition candidates resigns before 29 days,’resignation’ is indicated in red in the signifier column of the candidate.

In terms of synergy, when unification after printing is the worst, unification before printing is interpreted as a sub-evil. Nevertheless, it is expected that the evaluation of the failure to create a’beautiful unification’ picture is inevitable as both names were put on the ballot. In addition, if the tug-of-war negotiations continue for 10 days until the 29th, the duration of the joint election campaign between the two sides will be shortened. Eventually, the synergy effect of unification is inevitably reduced.

Some point out that either side of the two candidates is intent on grabbing the public’s attention as a single issue. It is also suggested that if the gap between the two sides in the opinion polls widens as time goes by, they naturally consider’unification by public opinion’ in mind.

However, voices are pouring out in the opposition for a massive consensus in that the prolonged unification negotiation period may lead to a headwind of public opinion. Independent Congressman Hong Joon-pyo raised his voice through social network service (SNS), saying, “It is not beneficial for both people to play a chicken game until the ballot is printed.

Meanwhile, the emotional confrontation between Kim Jong-in, Chairman of the People’s Strength Emergency Response Committee and Candidate Ahn, is getting sharper. The day before, when Candidate Ahn criticized Chairman Kim, saying, “There seems to be a Sangwang behind Candidate Oh,” former Supreme Commissioner Lee Jun-seok again asked, “Have you heard that there is a female situation system that controls me? There was even a controversy over the’Sangwang-Situation System’ Candidate Ahn said, “Chairman Kim’s wife has the same name as my wife. You must have misunderstood him.”
