Korean elections - can i take your order?



I am woefully (willfully?) ignorant about Korean politics...

However, it's got to say something about a country's faith in their electorate when they start assigning numbers to the candidates.


Sure, I guess its a sign of robustness when you have 12 candidates running instead of 2, and for all i know other parliamentary democracies do the same thing...
but, still,
When a conversation about the political leadership of your country can begin with the question,
"i went with number 6, how bout you?" - something is wrong.

And seriously, you've got to feel bad for whoever gets assigned the number four.
