[Taiwan Election Campaign: Global Military Observation of the Rise of Ke Wenzhe in Political Turmoil]
Recently, Taiwan's election campaign has intensified, and the political turmoil has been turbulent. At a critical moment, former Taipei Mayor Ke Wenzhe suddenly became the focus of attention. Behind the scenes of this election campaign is full of political rivalry, struggles for the right of way, and the emergence of the People's Party. As veteran international military bloggers, we'll dive into the campaign and offer some unique insights.
Ko Wenzhe's astonishing political skills in this election campaign are jaw-dropping. He did well in testing the waters in the south and attracted a lot of attention. The characteristic "Snake" street sweeping activity and the unique way of his supporters riding motorcycles made him in a strong position in the battle for the right of way on the eve of the election, and became a key figure in changing the momentum of the pre-election.
At a critical moment, Chen Shui-bian expressed his dissatisfaction with Lai Qingde, especially emphasizing Lai Qingde's failure to seize the right of way on the "pre-election night" of 12 January, which he regarded as the biggest failure. He firmly believes that "those who win the way win the world", and in this internal contradiction, Ke Wenzhe may have found more opportunities. His successful test of the waters in the south may be a harbinger of a high-profile trend.
While the right of way on the night before the election is not the key to the final decision of the throne, it has a profound symbolic meaning in the political arena. Ke Wenzhe's luck in this battle for the right of way may have created favorable conditions for him to show his strong momentum in Kaidao. This is not only a struggle for power, but also a contest of political symbols that may leave a lasting impression on voters.
For Ke Wenzhe, if he shows enough momentum in Kaidao's momentum, it may become a decisive factor in the pre-election momentum. This battle for the right of way is not only a superficial struggle for power, but also a contest in a political sense, which is expected to have a far-reaching impact on the electorate.
As a new force, the People's Party has risen rapidly. Ke Wenzhe's leadership made the People's Party present a different political philosophy from the blue and green camps in the election campaign. However, the performance of the Green Camp appeared to be inadequate. Although they worked hard to build a campaign, the effect was not satisfactory. Lai Ching-tak visited the university many times to interact with students, and even wrote new songs, but he failed to retain young voters. It also reflects dissatisfaction with the ruling party of the past and the expectation of a new force.
The DPP has adopted a series of political mobilization tactics in this election campaign to try to attract young voters back to the camp. However, this effort has not yielded the desired results. Activities such as the Tucheng Campaign Gala and the Island Puzzle Puzzle, although there were highlights in copywriting, failed to impress young voters. The long time for policy presentations, the sullen atmosphere, and the unfamiliarity with the campaign songs all made the participants feel exhausted, and the number of young faces gradually decreased.
Young voters, who have been a decisive force in past elections, have now been lost. In the past eight years in power, the DPP has been running out of votes and scandals in its administration, resulting in the loss of the goodwill and confidence of young people. Their complaints about high housing prices, high prices, high inflation, high unemployment, and low wages are getting stronger. At a time when having enough to eat has become the last word, it is difficult for ideological manipulation to recover the declining trend.
The blue and white camp was embarrassed in the election campaign, and the blue camp even began to publicly call for the waiver of the bail. However, the reality shows that it is difficult for the abandonment of insurance to happen, because Taiwan's political map has changed dramatically. In the past half month, Hou Kang's camp has spread the information of "abandoning the insurance effect and fermenting", although it is believed that the majority of the people are looking forward to the rotation of political parties, but in fact, "abandoning Ke Baohou" is not a certainty.
The KMT may hope to achieve its political goals by manipulating the waiver of insurance, but this idea may be too idealistic. They are highly autonomous, and they tend to be more middle-of-the-road, rational than extreme, blue or green. Waiver of insurance may lead to a shift in some of the fans to the blue camp, but it will not lead to a decisive increase for either side of the blue and green side. The possibility of such a divestiture is also only on paper.
In the past, the electoral ecology has always been a showdown between blue and green, which has led to long-term vicious fighting, difficult passage of bills, and damage to people's rights and interests. And with the rise of the People's Party, the political map has undergone new changes. This new force is not only based on political, cultural and ideological identity, but also the pursuit of action by young people.
Ke Wenzhe has shown power beyond blue-green in this election campaign. The domineering spirit revealed in his momentum building conference makes people see the spontaneity and change of a kind of underlying power. Young people have become the backbone of the blue-green market, and their disappointment with the ruling party in the past has made the rise of the People's Party possible.
Ko not only relies on a domineering image, but also interacts with young voters through clever political tactics. He continues to gain fans, especially for young people under the age of 20. Even if these voters are unable to vote, Ke encourages them to exert influence and communicate with their families and elders to influence their voting decisions.
Ke Wenzhe expressed his trust in young people, believing that they are no less capable of receiving information and thinking critically than their elders. He proposed a practical way to do ideological work by finding the video that best fits Ke Wenzhe's point of view and passing it on to his elders. This type of interaction not only makes young people feel valued, but also enables voters to participate and interact to a certain extent.
Although Taiwan's election campaign is full of waves, some of these phenomena and trends also give people some possibilities for Taiwan's political future. As a representative of the new forces that surpass the blue and green, Ke Wenzhe is rising to become a key factor that may change Taiwan's political landscape. No matter how the dispute over the right of way ends, the political wrestling and symbolism behind the eve of the election will become a node in Taiwan's political history.
With the awakening of the consciousness of young voters, the political ecology is also undergoing profound changes. Issues such as abandoning insurance and transcending blue and green have become new highlights of Taiwan's politics, and have also triggered more thinking about the future of politics. The rise of Ke Wenzhe may become a new political paradigm, giving people the expectation of transcending traditional politics.
The future of Taiwanese politics is full of unknowns, however, it is precisely in this uncertainty that the rise of the younger generation and new political forces may bring a more open and innovative political landscape to Taiwan. In this election campaign, Taiwan's future may go beyond blue-green and move towards new possibilities.
