I think Comrade Bijukche’s words should be taken as symbolically, not literally. If the parties continue with the squabbling and quarreling (which is by the way a part of politics)people will be tired to them which will not be a good thing for democracy. But bargains for power sharing are same all over the world.
Also, I would like to suggest you that comrade Bijukche is generally considered soft to the monarchy for some reason though I am sure he would like to refute that very strongly citing his long communist background. But the pro-North Korean leader whose very limited support base has remained more or less stagnant in the past several years is always critical of the “mainstream” large political parties. The declaration has been in the process of being implemented “both in letter and spirit” for sure.
