  • Chandrachur Singh
    Chandrachur Singh “The opposition - a consortium of nearly two dozen parties - has not been able to rally people around economic distress despite raising it as a prominent election issue. The problem with the opposition is that it is a coming together of parties with divergent views whose only agenda seems to be to dislodge Modi. To the people, that doesn't seem to be a good enough agenda. The fact that the opposition has not projected a face against Modi is also an issue. Rahul Gandhi is slowly emerging as that leader, but in terms of perception, he is still far behind Modi.” 22 hours ago
  • Neelanjan Sircar
    Neelanjan Sircar “A large part of what the BJP [Bharatiya Janata Party] does is thinking about how to centralise all political attribution on Modi. Its campaign promises are pitched as Modi's guarantees. This is the strategy of a party where the leader is a cult figure and the party is the vehicle for the leader. Whether it's economic distress or even issues like violence in Manipur, Modi is not directly sullied. People may blame other leaders of the BJP. In regional elections, as a consequence, BJP might be voted out. But it is not anger against Modi.” 22 hours ago
  • Benjamin Netanyahu
    Benjamin Netanyahu “The idea that we will stop the war before achieving all its objectives is out of the question. We will enter Rafah and we will eliminate the Hamas battalions there - with or without a deal, in order to achieve the total victory.” 22 hours ago
  • Nour Odeh
    Nour Odeh “For a while, there was a lot of cautious optimism up until this morning, and then the prime minister announced he will order an invasion of Rafah with or without a deal - in essence trampling all of these ceasefire talks. This is what the families of the captives had feared. This is what the negotiators feared. Netanyahu's comments came after he held meetings with the most right-wing members of his coalition government, including Itamar Ben-Gvir. It's interesting, every time Blinken comes to the region - catching the tailwind of some optimism - something like this happens, and he ends up going home with nothing to show for all this political momentum.” 23 hours ago

    Randall Kuhn “Put simply, the situation in Gaza is it's completely intolerable at this point. We're on the border of famine and for us as a university, we have to reckon with the fact that every university in Gaza has been destroyed. As a professor, I find it repugnant to sit by while Palestinian professors are being killed, while academic buildings are being bombed relentlessly.” 23 hours ago

“I believe the people of Sangju and North Gyeongsang Province have called me, Yoon Suk-yeol, to carry out political reform and scatter the corrupt, incompetent and inhuman ruling bloc led by the DPK [Democratic Party of Korea]. The DPK have claimed that they stand together with the ordinary people, workers, farmers and the poor. But during the five-year reign of the DPK, polarization in the country has increasingly deepened, with the gaps in assets and incomes widening further. I believe there are many good politicians within the DPK... But the DPK leadership was too obsessed with old ideas from a few politicians who try to push ahead with their absurd ideas from within and outside the party, while persecuting other great politicians with good minds.”

“I doubt if a leader [Yoon Suk-yeol], who does not have any knowledge about state affairs and only vows political retaliation while also creating a blacklist against artists of the liberal bloc to persecute them, will be able to overcome the complicated and serious crises the country has faced.”

“The ruling liberal bloc led by President Moon Jae-in and the DPK have focused on keeping good relations and issued neutral messages when dealing with China-related controversies. But he said such diplomatic efforts of the ruling bloc have fueled anti-China sentiment among members of the public. For example, when controversies rose over China's alleged appropriation of the Korean traditional dress known as hanbok during last week's opening ceremony, the Korean government issued statements with a neutral tone. Culture Minister Hwang Hee belatedly issued a statement of protest but it was only after controversies grew bigger.”

“Lee [Lee Jae-myung] has consistently called for a universal basic income. He is currently taking a rather soft position on the matter, saying he would not unilaterally push for the basic income policy without social consensus. But it is likely that he would put a stronger drive into introducing a basic income once elected. In contrast, Yoon [Yoon Suk-yeol] would shift the focus of economic policies to encouraging entrepreneurial growth over wealth distribution, introducing more business-friendly policies by easing regulations and offering tax incentives. If Yoon is elected, he would emphasize the principle that denuclearization should come first before inter-Korean cooperation, whereas Lee would continue the engagement policies pursued by the Roh Moo-hyun and Moon Jae-in governments. For other neighboring countries, Lee would try to strike a balance between China and the U.S. amid their growing rivalry, but it would be hard to expect that bilateral relations between South Korea and Japan could improve under Lee's leadership, as he is focused on the historical issues between the countries. For Yoon, it is obvious that he would be committed to strengthening the South Korea-U.S. alliance and improving relations with Japan, considering the figures selected as members of his election camp.”

“All in all, neither Yoon [Yoon Seok-youl] nor Lee [Lee Jae-myung] has emerged in this race as a skilful politician who can resolve South Korea's many problems as president. The biggest obstacle to their success appears to be the voters', especially young voters', disillusionment with them and their parties. Indeed, despite countless scandals and failures, the two main political parties in the country hardly changed their approach to politics or developed inspiring new policies that can steer the nation through numerous internal and external difficulties.”

“Lee [Lee Jae-myung], who served as governor of Gyeonggi Province until October, is promising three major reforms: unconditional basic income (UBI), a land tax, and a carbon tax. Alone, each of these would be radical; together, they form the basis of a programme that could be transformative.”

“I think that Pyongyang is serious about improving ties with Seoul. And it makes sense to try to do this while President Moon is still in office. If another liberal wins the presidency, most likely they will follow the same policy as President Moon so any dialogue with him would be a starting point for relations with the new president. And if a conservative wins, they wouldn't want to go back to the period of tensions that we witnessed from 2010 to 2017. So a conservative president would be tempted to seek engagement with Pyongyang. Particularly with a Biden administration that clearly wants no tensions with North Korea, and which seems to be open to diplomacy.”

“I do not know what North Korea has in mind, but if it tries to influence the presidential election, it would be a foolish decision because it does not know too much about the situation or public opinion here toward the North. Although President Roh Moo-hyun held a summit with then-North Korean leader Kim Jong-il before the presidential election, the conservative party won the next election and the North should remember that.”

“I have been thinking about this for a long time. To change the country's leadership, I believe it is necessary to join the conservative main opposition party and start with a fair competition during the primary. I believe that the PPP [People Power Party] should play a pivotal role in the leadership change. I have been saying for a while that if I run for the presidency, I will have to be a PPP candidate. I also thought that my uncertainties over joining the PPP could harm the party.”

“For them [Millennials and Generation Z], the older generations are, whether they are conservative or liberal, people with vested rights and interests. Unlike the older generation who usually have a specific political inclination, younger people are a non-ideological generation. It is said they were liberal (in the 2017 presidential election) but became conservative in the by-elections (by choosing PPP [People Power Party] candidates). They do not care about ideology, and move according to their own interests, so they will vote for a candidate who can deal with their issues regardless of whether the candidate is conservative or liberal.”

“Leading the economy is the responsibility of the private sector and the market, but it is difficult for private companies and the market to handle massive industrial restructuring in an era of great transformation. Like the New Deal project during the Great Depression, the public sector should pave the way for the private sector to make new investments and produce innovation. Realizing a society where basic economic rights are guaranteed and everyone enjoys minimum economic prosperity, on the basis of securing fairness, alleviating inequality and polarization and expanding welfare, is the only way to achieve sustainable growth and a better life for the people.”

“This government not only privatizes power but also tries to extend its reign to plunder the nation. I can no longer sit and watch it. We must achieve a change of administration … the people and political groups who agree on this must join forces. Otherwise, the people will suffer for a long time, and the country will be a completely corrupt nation, which would be an indelible mark on the people and history. In terms of the value of freedom, I am on the same line with the PPP [People Power Party]. Regardless of whether to support the PPP, if they are people who think about running the country based on intelligence and commonsense, they will agree with the value of a free democracy.”
