Not to be confused with the Justice Party that was founded by former Salt Lake City mayor Rocky Anderson.

This party is the South Korean only pro-LGBT party among political parties, and it is the only socialist-leaning party of South Korea.

This party is the only party in the Republic of Korea that is forward-looking in terms of the rights of the disabled, especially the mentally. However, the party is not complete, with some party members disparaging autism.

It supports abortion rights, same-sex marriage, sustainable development and multiculturalism. But it opposes cannabis, prostitution and some social issues.[note 1] and only party in the Republic that supports the acceptance of Islamic refugees.

The party has a friendly relationship with the Japanese Social Democratic PartyFile:Wikipedia's W.svg[1] and Taiwanese New Power PartyFile:Wikipedia's W.svg[2].

Main support is from trade union activists, the lower working class, multicultural families, and the sexual minorities.

It supports the appeasement policy toward North Korea (= Sunshine Policy) but it opposes the North Korea political system.

This party is also the least post-nationalist party among the liberal or leftist parties in South Korea.(In South Korea, 'Korean nationalism' is usually prominent on the left-wing.)

The party is currently the 4th largest opposition party.

Notes
  1. The latter case is due to South Korea's conservative sentiment.

gollark: Oh, and he is apparently entirely incapable of generalization or remembering things from more than 15 seconds ago.
gollark: He doesn't understand some things, which is fine I guess, but he also doesn't seem to understand the things he needs to understand to understand those things either, and seems to think he's done with things when the arbitrary computer marking thing™ says so even when it's repeatedly blatantly wrong, and wants me to just give him answers so he'll apparently learn from them.
gollark: Trying to explain "algebraic proof" to Zachary is so intensely frustrating.
gollark: I don't think that's right either.
