Polls Show Tight Race for Next Korean President

It will be interesting to see if the Moon administration tries to implement max mail in voting due to the latest COVID surge:

 Ruling party presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung and his main opposition rival Yoon Suk-yeol are in an increasingly tight race, with one opinion poll putting Lee ahead of Yoon and another survey showing contrary results.

In a Korea Society Opinion Institute (KSOI) survey of 1,008 adults, Lee led with 40.3 percent against Yoon’s 37.4 percent, though the gap was within the margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level.

But a Realmeter poll of 3,043 people put Yoon ahead with 44.4 percent against Lee’s 38 percent. Their 6.4 percentage point gap is outside the margin of error of plus or minus 1.8 percentage points, with a 95 percent confidence level.

Polls show a tight race because everybody wants communism and more lockdowns.

Will be a “fortified” election as in the states. Meaning rigged and stolen.

Chickenhead speaks of communism.

But can Chickenhead explain why the right-wing party refuses to pass the anti-discrimination bill that has been sitting in the parliament since 2007?

Chicken Head, as his name suggests, has the brain of a chicken. He can’t explain anything.

Which makes him perfect for parroting Dear Comrade Setnaffova’s fake news and lies.

I am all for passing the 2007 law.

“The proposed new law was intended to strengthen the existing National Human Rights Commission Act, which already bars discrimination on the basis of most categories, including sexual orientation, by requiring the president and other levels of government to develop plans to eliminate discrimination. But as revised by the justice ministry, the new law would actually remove protections many groups.”

If they would hurry up and pass it, we can discriminate against those filthy homersexxuls.

Fortunately, there is a brand spaking new 2021 anti-discrimination law all ready to go.

Bit but but why won’t the left-wing pass it?
