21대 총선에서 준연동형 비례대표제의 변칙적 도입과 거대 여야 정당의 비민주적 공천 행태

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to examine how much national value can be shown to Korea's democracy while reflecting on the past 21st general election and Korea's democracy. This study aims to evaluate how the introduction of the quasi-linked proportional representation system changes the nomination process of both the ruling and opposition parties in the 21st general election, focusing on the proportionality of the electoral system and the democracy of the nomination process within the party. As a result of this study, the anomalous introduction of the quasi-linked proportional representation system, the reduction in proportionality of the quasi-linked proportional representation system, the turmoil and non-institutionalization of satellite parties by the two major parties, and the lack of democratization of political parties within the party in nominations and recommendations of candidates for public office are shown. Therefore, the adoption of proportional representation based on agreement between the ruling and opposition parties rather than party politics can establish democracy within the party through general elections, expansion of proportional representation in the proper election system for members of the National Assembly, revision of the party law and election law to prevent the turmoil of satellite parties by the two large parties, allocation of proportional representation seats according to the number of national votes only by small parties, avoiding undemocratic behavior of political parties in the general election process, and expanding democracy within the party.
