Park prosecution would seal left's victory in Seoul

Significance

Unlike during her impeachment when she resisted all summons, Park plans to appear in court tomorrow in hopes of avoiding arrest and detention. Campaigning for the election to succeed her -- originally scheduled for December but brought forward by Park's dismissal -- is already in full swing.

Impacts

• Even a nuclear test or provocation from North Korea would not save the conservatives.
• Moon’s plan to re-engage North Korea suggests relations with Washington will be rocky.
• Corporate corruption scandals will make business-bashing popular, but promises to curb the conglomerates will be hard to deliver on.
