[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Kim Jong-in, Emergency Committee Chairman of the Future United Party, stated on the 18th, "I was in charge of revising the Saenuri Party's platform and policies in 2012, and even now there is controversy, but there was a dispute over the use of the term 'conservative.' However, even without using the word 'conservative,' the public knows that the Saenuri Party is a conservative party. Everyone recognizes that the United Party is also a conservative party, even without emphasizing it," he said.

At the first meeting of the Platform and Policy Revision Special Committee held at the National Assembly that day, Chairman Kim said, "Our fundamental goal is to pursue liberal democracy," adding, "The main purpose of this revision is how to incorporate changes of the times into the platform and policies within that framework."

Chairman Kim pointed out, "Looking at the platforms and policies of political parties so far, they have operated in a way where the platform is separate from actions, which inevitably causes the general public to have doubts. The reality of politics in our country is that following the will of the people according to changes in the times should be embedded in the platform and policies, but this has been neglected."

Chairman Kim said, "Please devote all efforts to creating a new platform and policies this time to inspire hope among the people that the United Party will surely achieve victory in the upcoming presidential election."

Kim Byung-min, Emergency Committee Member and Chairman of the Platform and Policy Special Committee, said, "If I were to point out one reason why the UK Conservative Party overcame difficult crises and maintained its continuity, it is because every time they were defeated in elections and thoroughly ignored by the public, they struggled more actively to change and approach the people," adding, "Changes in the platform and policies reflecting the new spirit of the times and promises for the people are absolutely necessary."
