Top court to rule on Park’s fate Friday
South Korea’s highest court said Wednesday it will rule this week on whether impeached President Park Geun-hye should permanently step down over a corruption scandal or be reinstated, a decision that could radically reshape the country’s political landscape.
Absolute power leads to absolute corruption. The presidential system of democracy has certain flaws, and even the US has experienced problems at times. South Korea's constitution should reworked to implement a modified semi-presidential system, and the presidency should be declared off-limits to party politics. The heads of the judicial and procuratorial branches should be chosen in elections in alternating years, and 1/4 of all MPs should face election each year.
