Left behind

President Roh Moo-hyun says that "no one has ever suceeded after splitting a political party." He is talking about the ruling Uri Party’s ongoing disintegration - many of its members are supposedly departing to better the ruling camp’s chances in December’s presidential election.

Meanwhile, another split is at hand. The growing disparity in income levels separates two of the country’s citizens; the one left behind protests, "But I’m not in the Uri Party!"
