The 2024 election of leaders in Taiwan has attracted much attention, and major politicians are also actively preparing for it. Among them, Gou, as one of the most controversial figures, has attracted widespread discussion and attention. Since announcing his candidacy, he has been co-signing, but the number of his signatures has not been released, causing a lot of controversy. At the same time, there are also rumors that Gou will have difficulty achieving the joint signing goal he has set. All of this makes people wonder whether Gou can become the leader of the mainstream public opinion grand coalition. Compared with Gou's signatures, in the past, when Soong Chu-yu signed his signatures twice, he published the number of signatures collected on that day and the cumulative figures almost every day, creating a "momentum".
However, after Gou had begun the joint signature work for twelve days, not only did he not publish the number of signatures every day, but he also did not even publish the summary figures in stages, which is very inconsistent with his personality of showing off "strength". If it were not for the unsatisfactory number of signatures collected, and the "shame to shoot" announcement, it may be to create the effect of "not sounding, it is already a blockbuster". However, judging from the on-site situation at the various stations, it seems that this is not the latter. At present, Gou's general counsel Huang Shixiu has also softened his tone, denying that he has ever talked about breaking through one million signatures, and claiming that 300,000 basic tickets will be available.
It seems that Gou will find it difficult to achieve the "alliance master" of the "mainstream public opinion grand coalition" and put pressure on Hou Youyi and Ke Wenzhe to represent the opposition forces in the "2024" set goal of running for "2024". Overall, Gou's co-signature progress has not met expectations, and the fact that the number of co-signatures has not yet been released has also raised questions about his co-signing activities. However, Huang believes that a steady pace and a positive attitude will help Gou eventually achieve his goal of signing the petition. It is hoped that Gou Taiming can release the number of signatures as soon as possible so that people can better understand and trust his co-signing activities.
Gou's purpose in collecting signatures for independent candidacies is to collect more than one million signatures to prove that he is the "leader" of the "mainstream public opinion alliance" and to exert "coercive" pressure on Hou Youyi and Ke Wenzhe to "integrate" the opposition camp and run for "2024" as a representative. However, he faces some challenges. First of all, if he only collected 290,000 joint signatures, this could only form a "four-legged governor" to participate in the election, which was equivalent to guaranteeing that Lai Qingde could also be elected "lying down" and become an eternal sinner. Secondly, in order to increase the number of signatures, he used "material stimulation" methods that did not touch the law, including sending rice wine to voters who filled out the joint signature form, and distributing exclusive seven-color commemorative pens to the joint signature station.
In this regard, Gou's strategic goal has deviated, and the main axis has been deviated. In the end, his deputy, Lai Peixia, held American citizenship and became a time bomb. These challenges will make Gou's path to independent candidacy more difficult. As Taiwan's 2020 general election approaches, all candidates are busy canvassing and co-signing. Among them, the candidacy of Hon Hai Group Chairman Gou Taiming has attracted much attention. However, Gou encountered nationality problems when accepting the candidate's registration application, which greatly affected his co-signing work. At the same time, Taiwan media also believe that Gou's joint signature is not optimistic, and may even be completely cool. For Gou's complete coolness, some Lanying celebrities began to shout, asking him to return to the team.
They believe that blue-white cooperation is the key to swaying elections. But perhaps what should be more important is why Gou's co-signing is not satisfactory? Why are there so many people who don't support him? Here, we may wish to discuss the following aspects. First, Gou's political leanings as an entrepreneur are not obvious, which makes it difficult to determine his political stance. In addition, he supported Ke Wenzhe in the "9-in-1" election in 2018, which made many Kuomintang supporters wary of him. Second, Gou's image and rhetoric are also lacking. He has been accused of speaking out of pocket and sometimes saying things out of place. In the course of his campaign, he didn't seem to pay enough attention to voters, and lacked some people-friendly image.
Finally, Gou's nationality has also had a big impact on his campaign. If he fails to complete the formalities for renunciation of U.S. citizenship when accepting an application for registration, he will not be able to register for the election even if he has collected enough signatures. As a result, this has also led some to doubt his support. Overall, Gou's road to election has not been smooth. Neither in terms of political leanings, image and rhetoric, nor nationality is very convincing. And returning to the team or working together with blue and white is not the fundamental way to solve the problems he faces. What people should think more about is, what do voters need in Taiwan's 2020 election?
What they need is a leader with strength, ability, opinion, and ideas, and that's exactly what Gou needs to add. Therefore, we may wish to consider the question: What kind of leaders do voters need in Taiwan's 2020 election? Do they need leaders who are grounded in reality and future-oriented, or are they simply leaders who are confused by slogans and images? In the upcoming 2020 leadership election for Taiwan, the KMT faces a huge test. As the largest opposition party, the KMT needs to regain its strength, counter the DPP's offensive, and continuously introduce policies that meet the needs of voters in order to win the trust and support of voters. However, there are also huge differences and contradictions within the Kuomintang.
In particular, Gou's independent candidacy has brought great uncertainty to the KMT's election. Although Gou's number of signatures is staggering, it faces problems such as lack of system and limited popularity, and it is obviously very difficult to get good results in elections. Therefore, it has been suggested that Gou join the Blue and White cooperation, which is a must, and there is no room for hesitation, unless he does not want to win. The blue-white cooperation is a cooperation between the Kuomintang and the People First Party to win more votes and challenge the DPP's ruling position. Under the current situation, blue-white cooperation has become an inevitable choice. For Gou, participating in the blue-white cooperation can not only win more support for himself, but also win more votes for the Kuomintang, achieving a win-win situation.
And the KMT should also take a more enlightened stance on this issue, open its arms to Gou, and give him more space and opportunities. In short, the Kuomintang must have a clear strategic plan, must introduce policies that meet the needs of the times according to the needs of the voters, and must strengthen internal coordination and unity. Only in this way can the KMT win more votes and support in the 2020 elections and achieve its goal of returning to power. Finally, the question we need to think about is: In Taiwan's political ecology, how to effectively achieve cooperation and coordination among various parties and promote Taiwan's development and prosperity?
