Party platform

They held their nominating convention for 2007 presidential election on November 4, 2007. During that event, its leader Moon Kook-hyun was elected with 8,884 of the mobile phone vote. As one of the pro-governmental liberal candidates, he and his party suffered the pressure of political simplification from several civil organizational leaders for the entire campaigning period. However, although negotiating with United [New Democratic Party|the UNDP] politicians a lot, he eventually decided to target voters disappointed with both major parties and their candidates. They hoped to reach somewhat over 10% support, but gained a final result of 1.38 million voters which put them in 4th place. However, they earned more votes than the 10-year-old Democratic [Labour Party (South Korea)|KDLP]'s result, and gained strong supports from metropolitan city areas, such as Seoul and its suburbs, Incheon, Daejeon, Chuncheon, Jeju, therefore it was judged to be a potential threat to major parties during the 2008 parliamentary election.
