President Lee: "Can a President Really Reshape Politics? Poaching Lawmakers Is an '80s Tactic" President Lee Jae-myung dismissed speculation linking his so-called "structural majority theory" to the possibility of an artificial political realignment, saying, "I do not even understand such imagination itself, and it is completely meaningless." During a tea meeting with reporters on his visit to Chunchugwan at the Blue House on this day , President Lee said, "Ultimately, politics is conducted by the people, so expanding our horizons to a playing field that can win consent from a majority of the people is what I mean by the structural majority proposal." "The reformist, progressive, and democratic camp is fundamentally a minority," President Lee said, citing instances in recent major elections where the Democratic Party of Korea or the broader ruling coalition failed to secure majority support.
