I disagreed with you on the shooting incident & poor people are poor forever.
If the pro-rich KMT is any better, then the Taiwanese will not keeping voting for DPP.
Ah Bian is also a model of pro-independence & more importantly anti-CCP hero that why Taiwanese believe in him & DPP too
==
none of the parties are good enuff for Taiwan i reckon.
KMT has a long history of being corrupt, cruel and inefficient. Otherwise they will be ruling China today and not Taiwan.
DPP is just playing the independancy agenda for sake of doing so. And they know, the future ahead is to link up with China and the world - theres no other way. But becos they are so stuck in their anti-China agenda, they cannot get out of this shit. And they cannot come out now to say, sorry I wanna U-turn. SO, they die die have to stick with pro-independance and even if certain policies are not right, they will press ahead.
DPP's reputation has been damaged severly with Ah Bian's corruption and till today, despite the fanatic believers down south, DPP has lost their charm. In the last provincial elections, they spanked KMT somewhat because of KMT's inability to bail them out of economic crisis.
By and large, both parties have their flaws. Taiwanese politics is still ruled by corruption regardless whether the Avatars or Shreks are in power.
Taiwan need a new party that is pro-China and appear clean.
