Democratic Labour Party (South Korea) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (134 words) |
 | The Democratic Labour Party(DLP) (Korean hangul: 민주노동당; hanja: 民主勞動黨; revised: Minju Nodong-dang; McCune-Reischauer: Minju Nodong-dang) is a political party in South Korea, established in January 2000. |
| It was founded in the effort to create a political wing for the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions(Minju Nochong in Korean), the more leftist of the two union federations in South Korea. |
| The party gained 10 seats in the National Assembly for the first time in the 2004 parliamentary election. |

| South Korea has some 200 institutions of higher learning, about one half of which are in Seoul; these include colleges and universities, graduate schools, junior colleges, and other specialized institutions. |
| North Korea, although nominally a republic governed by a representative assembly, is actually ruled by the Communist party (known in Korea as the Korea Workers’ party). |
| A political party funding scandal in 2003 implicated the main South Korean parties and many businesses, but it was overshadowed in early 2004 by the impeachment of the president over a relatively minor election law violation, which involved his public support for the new Uri party (the president is required be politically neutral). |
