South Korea voters look to independent voices
In the run-up to next year's general and presidential elections, the South Korean government has come under increasing scrutiny amid allegations of the administration running the country as a business. The nation faces a number of challenging paradoxes: the economy is growing but inflation is painfully high; unemployment is down but jobs are temporary and badly paid. Many voters say they are disillusioned with the two main parties and, unusually for South Korea, intend to support independent candidates. Al Jazeera's Harry Fawcett reports from Seoul.

@dharmaatdawn You require a course in Reading Comprehension, as you clearly have no understanding of what I posted about globalization, and dissatisfaction in South Korea.
It's not my job to spoon feed morons like yourself. At the moment, just concern yourself with passing 3rd Grade.
SK FTA for dummies:
Korea and the USA are hurting financially, so they both got together with smirks on their faces and agreed,
'Hey I'll make your crap for cheaper if you make my crap for cheaper.'
Then they both called big? business and asked,
'Hey I need crap made for cheaper, can you help me out?'
..and with a big, greedy smirk on his face big business agreed too! After all, quality of life would not be affected way up high in their castles in the sky.
..or would it? *smirk*
The end.
@dharmaatdawn As a tool of the government and industry too, you are terminally stupid.
@yourtreat2 I come across u comments a few times and I must say without an exception u comments truly idiotic
@yourtreat2 what truly amazing is that u rather blame South Korian ppl instead of u inept government that passed so called "free trade" deals. In fact that the information, what exactly that deal included,wasnt even released to the to American public untill the day before it got rushed in congress for passing. Yes, S. Korians were suppose to know everything about it. Plus I dont get how S. Korian ppl instututed "anarchistic capitalism" in US.
@yourtreat2 what jobs? doctors?
It's amusing to watch the S. Koreans bitch about globalization, when they have taken so many jobs that should have been performed by Americans, had Anarchistic Capitalism not been instituted here as something that dumbed-down Americans have been erroneously taught is called "Free Trade".
They will bite the dust along with the rest of us.
