Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Expand Korean Шаблон:Infobox political party Шаблон:Infobox Korean name Шаблон:Conservatism in South Korea The Bareun Party (Шаблон:Korean) was a conservative[1][2][3] political party in South Korea, announced on 27 December 2016 with the defection of 29 anti-Park Saenuri Party lawmakers. It was known as the Conservative New Party for Reform until 8 January 2017.[4]

History

The party was formed amidst a faction feud in the Liberty Korea Party (then Saenuri Party) involving pro and anti-Park Geun-hye forces.[5] The party began as a parliamentary negotiation body that split from the Saenuri Party in December 2016, and became a party in January 2017.[5]

Merger

In January 2018, the party's leader, along with the People's Party leader Ahn Cheol-soo, announced their plans to merge the two parties, in an effort to bolster the two party's parliamentary standing ahead of local elections in June.[6]

The merger faces opposition from members of both parties, citing concerns over differences in ideology and policy, particularly over differing stances on dealing with North Korea.[6] Nevertheless, the party approved the merger plans on 5 February 2018.[7] The merger is expected to be finalized on February 13.[8]

Defections

During its existence, the party suffered from a spate of defections.

2017

By April 2017, the party had already lost 14 lawmakers.[9]

In May, a week before the presidential election, 13 lawmakers affiliated with the party announced their decision to defect and return to the LKP.[9] The decision came after the party's presidential candidate, Yoo Seong-min, declined to join forces with LKP's Hong Joon-pyo and PP's Ahn Cheol-soo and field a single presidential candidate.[9] The defection left the party with just 19 seats in the National Assembly, one short of the 20 required for a political party to be recognized as a negotiating body.[9]

Ahead of a leadership contest in November 2017, an additional eight lawmakers defected, and rejoined the LKP.[10] The eight lawmakers were later joined by the party's floor leader, Joo-Ho-young.[11]

2018

On 9 January 2018, lawmaker Kim Se-yeon,[12] Gyeonggi Province Governor Nam Kyung-pil,[13] and lawmaker Park In-sook[13] defected from the party, all of whom rejoined the LKP.[13]
