Our politics is at a critical juncture where fundamental change is imperative. For a long time, our politics has failed to inspire dreams and hopes in the people, instead becoming a source of anxiety and aversion. This political failure stems primarily from our politics having consistently revolved around power struggles. The objective of politics was not the competition of visions for the nation's welfare and the people's happiness, but solely victory in elections and power struggles. In other words, the self-objectification of politics, where politics and power itself became the goal rather than competition for the people and policy, was the fundamental cause of our political failure.

Competition in policy visions and capabilities for national management must form the central axis of politics. Politics must demonstrate policy capabilities to effectively formulate and implement policies for the nation's welfare and the people's happiness. New politics must possess the integrative capacity to unite the people and harness their national ethos and enthusiasm as a driving force for national development.
