South Korea's National Assembly Speaker says 2019 will be an opportunity to reform the way the country conducts its elections and chooses its representatives.<br />At his New Year's press conference on Thursday,... Moon Hee-sang emphasized that now is the opportune moment as there aren't any elections in 2019.<br />He said it's appropriate for assembly seats to be distributed depending on the votes the parties get,... rather than the current winner-takes-all system.<br />Although the speaker said it's not something he can force through himself,... he called on rival parties to come together as it is what the people want.<br />On North Korea,... Moon said the regime is at an important crossroads,... and the process shouldn't be rushed.<br />The speaker also said rival parties need to put the public ahead of their political interests,... for the assembly to regain the people's trust. <br />
