지방의회 후원회제도에 관한 실증분석

Abstract

This study compares and analyzes the process of change of the supporters association system and the results of the survey on the work of members of the regional councils and members of the National Assembly, and proposes improvement plans for the supporters association system and related laws and regulations suitable for the status of members of the regional councils.
 As a result of the study, it was deduced that it is necessary to adjust the ratio of contributions between members of the National Assembly and local council members to 70:30 by improving the ceiling on donations for local council members in a more forward-looking direction than the current limit of 50/100 of election expenses. Therefore, it is proposed to designate the maximum amount of donations from local council members at 250 million won, which is 30% of the total amount of donations raised by members of the National Assembly, which is 750 million won.
 The reason I thought this was because of the following reasons. First, in the workload analysis of local council members, 70.7% of respondents answered that ‘the workload of local council members is greater than that of national assembly members’. Second, 49.1% of respondents answered that ‘the workload of local council members and National Assembly members is similar’ or ‘the workload of local council members is more than 50% higher’. Therefore, it is based on the fact that it is reasonable to set the size of donations to local council members at 30% of the amount of donations to members of the National Assembly.
