SKorea: Candidates Clash Over Nuclear Policy, Corruption
The Spin
Right narrative
Conservatives can and should win this election by boosting voter turnout instead of a risky merger between Kim Moon-soo and Lee Jun-seok. By embracing gradual change and engaging with ideas, they can rebuild credibility. Voters want conservative leadership for stability amid global tensions and North Korea's threat, valuing tradition and restraint to counter Lee Jae-myung's current lead and avoid risky governance shifts.
Left narrative
Lee Jae-myung is leading due to his bold economic vision, like stimulating growth through investment and appealing to voters seeking progress. All he has to do to maintain his lead is avoid missteps like the Turtle Island exaggeration and ensure accurate rhetoric. Voters want a shift from PPP's ties to far-right figures and stagnation, favoring Lee's dynamic approach to facilitating change.
