Cutting away at Uri Party's approval ratings

The Uri Party is driving an official campaign vehicle. Uri was never expected to do well in the regional elections on May 31, but now it has seen its chances slashed even further because of the attack on Grand National Party chairwoman Park Geun-hye. The attack was perpetrated by a man named Ji who was angry at the world, but his friend was a paid member of the Uri Party until it discovered that fact and expelled him from the party.
