Talk:Basic Income Party

"Pro-Lee Jae-myeong Party"

I believe this assessment is wrong. While both Lee Jae-myeong and the Basic Income Party share the goal of achieving universal basic income, the BIP has often times criticized Lee Jae-myeong and his plan for basic income.

The article linked in question shows Lee Jae-myeong attending the creation ceremony of the BIP. Politicians in Korea attend launch ceremonies of minor parties all the time. This does not mean that the Basic Income Party supports Lee Jae-myeong, or vice-versa. Lee only attended the launch ceremony of the Party. In fact, the Basic Income Party has directly ran candidates AGAINT Lee Jae-myeong and his closest allies, such as the 2022 South Korean presidential election.

In fact, President of the Basic Income Party, Yong Hye-in, in this article, criticizes Lee Jae-myeong's basic income policy.

During the 2022 Presidential Election, BIP candidate Oh Jun-ho said Lee Jae-myeong's basic income scheme was "disappointing." Elg3a-1 (talk) 04:49, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

Split?

@Braganza can you explain split rationale? When you make split requests you should attach rationale, otherwise how can anyone debate it? toobigtokale (talk) 03:42, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

I want to split it because its a de facto coalition and not just a rebrand Braganza (talk) 05:54, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Oppose, as it would make more sense for the New Progressive Alliance to be discussed as a party rebrand for the 2024 South Korean legislative election. While it is true that other parties joined the rebrand to form a de facto coalition, from a legal viewpoint, the Basic Income Party is the exact same party as the New Progressive Alliance. Furthermore, the New Progressive Alliance is already covered as being a part of the Democratic Alliance of Korea, which already has a separate article. MogasTheThird (talk) 13:03, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Oppose. New Progressive Alliance is the Basic Income Party. Legally, these are the same entities. It is just a rename of the Party due to South Korea's election law prohibiting electoral alliances. This same user requested the same thing on the Green-Justice Talk Page. Please read a little more on the election law and how parties deal with certain issues surrounding this. They did not form a whole separate legal entity. The Democratic Alliance of Korea did form a brand new party from scratch, but speedran the creation process due to having 14 sitting members of parliament signed on to join the new Party.

Oppose. As both Braganza and Elg3a-1 points out, it is just a rename of the Party. Random123games (talk) 06:07, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

2024 South Korean legislative election

According to the results section of the 2024 South Korean legislative election page the New Progressive Alliance won 2 seats. Which of the parties in the New Progressive Alliance (the Basic Income Party, the Open Democratic Party or the Social Democratic Party) now have a seat or seats? Helper201 (talk) 21:02, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

The two candidates who won were Yong Hye-in, originally from Basic Income, and Han Chang-min from the Social Democratic Party. It is safe to say once the lawmakers take their seat in May and the Democratic Party absorbs Democratic Alliance, these two will return to their original parties.
