S. Korean situation now: 1. Han DS (PM) *refuses* to appoint Con. Court Judges nominated by the National Assembly (he should). 2. The opposition is likely to impeach Han. 3. PPP declares to *refuse* this impeachment too. Those *refusing* to stop #insurrection are insurrectionists too.

Korea’s acting president could soon face an impeachment of his own

Did the insurrection in #SKorea come out of nowhere? One way to think about is how the conservative party (red) has never been more committed to the basic democratic norms prior to elections than an average (green) party in the *world* (gray) was, let alone the Democratic Party (red). Data: V-party.
