                 London 11th  of March    Juche 108(2019)
The Association for the Study of Songun Politics(ASSPUK) , Juche Idea Study Group of England (JISGE), the UK Korean Friendship Association(UK KFA) and British Solidarity Committee for Peace and Reunification on the Korean Peninsula (BSCPRKP)issued a joint statement on the successful holding of the elections to the Supreme People's Assembly of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea(DPRK):
                             

On Sunday the 10th of March the citizens of the DPRK participated in the elections to the 14th Supreme People's Assembly(SPA) . KCNA reported as follows :'All the people and service personnel of the People's Army on the day of the election of deputies to the SPA went to polling booths with the will to consolidate our socialism centred on the popular masses as firm as rock'. This means that the election turnout was 100 per cent , a truly remarkable event in world political history .Compare to this to the 63 per cent turnout in the UK, 55 per cent in the US and 38 per cent in Switzerland.

  The successful holding of the elections to the 14th SPA are a powerful demonstration of the single hearted unity of the people of the DPRK around respected Marshal KIM JONG UN , the Workers' Party and the Juche iea. Such unity is totally unparalleled anywhere else in the world . Korean people say that single-hearted unity is more powerful than an atomic bomb.

    The DPRK does indeed have a different system to bourgeois democracy in the West (which is not really democracy) , it people's democracy , socialist democracy and proletarian democracy . 

In the DPRK candidates are chosen by mass meetings of electors first , rather than by a small clique of people putting forward a candidate. No one who does not have the support of the people can forward as a candidate , it is as simple as that . On election day voters approve the candidates .

The mainstream media assert 'there is no choice' in DPRK elections but what real choice is there in many capitalist countries where often all the parties support capitalism ? Really elections in capitalist countries are about deciding who is going to fiddle their expenses and vote themselves a pay rise !(in the UK Members of Parliament recently voted to massively increase their salaries to  by  £2000  to £79,468 per annum  or £1500 per week).

   In People' Korea ordinary workers including street cleaners are elected to the SPA , something that would be almost impossible in a capitalist society . In the UK only one or two members out of 650 members of the UK parliament are of working class origin , this is less than 0.5 per cent . In the DPRK in 1990 ,  47 per cent of deputies to the SPA were workers and farmers. 20 per cent of deputies to the SPA are women .

  DPRK elections are real people's democracy in action ! Long live people's power in the DPRK !
