여야, 27일 국회본회의 개최키로…민생법안 처리

At the national assembly.
A plenary session to vote on pending bills is set for next Thursday.
The agreement was reached between the floor leaders of the three main parties.
They met to discuss the specific agenda for the December extraordinary session that kicked off today.
The parties agreed to review bills related to raising transparency and rooting out accounting fraud at private kindergartens.
Form a special committee to hold a parliamentary probe into hiring irregularities in the public sector.
And consider measures to cushion the side effects of a minimum wage hike coming up next month.
Another big issue: how to reform the country's electoral system.
The smaller parties want to expand proportional representation -- where the number of seats they get is in proportion to the percentage of the vote they get nationwide.
Right now, South Koreans get one vote for a representative for their district... and another vote for a party.
In the 300-member parliament,... 253 seats are single-member districts and 47 members are chosen by proportional representation.
