The battle for the leading position in Taiwan's legislature ended with a crushing defeat for the DPP and a narrow victory for the KMT. Lai Qingde was not convinced, and came up with a "poisonous plan" to take revenge on the blue and white parties.
1. As soon as Han Kuo-yu was elected, Green and White broke out of the "phone door"
After Han Kuo-yu was elected as the head of Taiwan's legislature, it was revealed that Ko Wenzhe, chairman of the People's Party, took the initiative to call a medical bigwig of the Democratic Progressive Party the night before the vote and proposed a "cooperation" plan:
The DPP voted for Huang Shanshan, who was self-propelled by the People's Party, and in return, they would give their full support to the DPP's Tsai Qichang.
Subsequently, the medical tycoon Chen Yongxing also stood up and admitted that it was Ke Wenzhe who took the initiative to find the DPP.
The DPP also said that due to the bad reputation of the People's Party in the past, they were worried that the two sides would be empty, and the "green and white cooperation" would not take shape in the end.
In the face of the DPP's "revelations", Ke Wenzhe was "so angry that he slapped the table" and bluntly said that he really couldn't stand this kind of "political party full of lies" and immediately went to the court to sue them.
(Ke Wenzhe refutes the DPP's "revelations")
The People's Party also came out to "refute the rumors", saying that it was obviously the DPP that sent people from all walks of life to find Ke Wenzhe to cooperate, but Ke Wenzhe just politely called Chen Yongxing back, and it was hyped up as taking the initiative to promote the "green and white cooperation".
This is undoubtedly a "poisonous trick" of the DPP.
On the one hand, the DPP can take the opportunity to shift its focus and avoid focusing on the DPP's defeat.
On the other hand, no matter which side of the DPP or the People's Party took the initiative to raise this matter, it shows that the two sides have communication channels and the possibility of cooperation.
This will naturally make the Kuomintang wonder if Ke Wenzhe is making preparations with both hands, on the one hand, to release a signal of cooperation to the blue camp, and on the other hand, to "entangle" with the green camp.
In this way, the "blue and white combination" adds more uncertainty.
The biggest beneficiary of the provocation of the blue-white relationship is, of course, the Democratic Progressive Party.
After all, if blue and white can't join forces, their governing pressure will be lighter.
Of course, the DPP will not let go of Han Kuo-yu, who has just won the election.
2. The DPP's conspiracy failed? Han Kuo-yu was well received by the people
On the first day after his election, Han Kuo-yu did not go to the "Taiwan legislature" to work.
After the green media squatting there found out, they quickly hyped that Han Yu "did not work" on the first day of work.
In this regard, the Kuomintang quickly clarified, saying that Han Kuo-yu would officially send a letter to the three party groups on the same day to prepare for the convening of the "ruling and opposition consultations" meeting. They also accused the DPP of only wanting to play politics and even trying to drag down the proceedings.
(Han Kuo-yu was smeared by the DPP again)
Obviously, the DPP has not missed any opportunity to discredit Han Kuo-yu.
It is foreseeable that Han Kuo-yu's every move after that is likely to be magnified by ten or a hundred times, and if he is not careful, he will be "attacked" by the DPP.
However, the DPP's wishful thinking was wrong.
Although the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has smeared Han Kuo-yu, the people on the island have not been led into distortion.
According to an online poll on the results of the election of the head of the legislature, 58.5% of the 20,000 netizens said they were "very satisfied" and more than 10% were "quite satisfied".
In other words, Han Yu has gained nearly 70% satisfaction.
In addition, the Taiwan Issues Research Center pointed out that Han Kuo-yu's online favorability has increased quite significantly during his election campaign to head Taiwan's legislature.
It's also understandable, though. For the past eight years, the DPP has been holding the legislature, and it goes without saying how many unsightly things there are.
The people on the island naturally hope that someone will dig up all this black material and put the legislature in order.
And this is obviously not good news for the DPP.
In fact, their troubles are much more than that.
Third, Lai Qingde's troubles are still to come
After the Kuomintang seized the legislature, the situation on the island became very clear: The DPP's "ruling on the small field" was a foregone conclusion.
This also means that after Lai Qingde comes to power, he will face strong supervision from the blue and white parties.
(Lai Qingde's trouble is still to come)
In addition, it is worth noting that in this year's election of public opinion representatives in Taiwan's legislature, opposition parties and pro-blue non-party representatives occupied 62 seats.
In other words, more than half of the seats of the "opposition" representatives have already been elected.
This also means that if the DPP authorities push through policies and "bills", it is very likely that it will be difficult to pass them in the legislature. I am afraid that this will further intensify the antagonism between the government and the opposition.
Under these circumstances, the DPP has only one way to stabilize the overall situation, and that is to handle its relations with the two major opposition parties more prudently.
It is also worth noting that cross-strait relations are one of the important issues that have attracted the most attention on the island at present.
Everyone understands very well that the "double independence combination" of Lai Qingde and Hsiao Meiqin will bring more uncertainties to cross-strait relations.
The election of Han Kuo-yu has given the people on the island a glimmer of hope.
After he takes charge of the legislature, he may be able to prevent Lai and Hsiao from continuing to run wildly on the erroneous road of "Taiwan independence" and prevent cross-strait relations from falling into an irretrievable situation.
It's still quite possible.
After all, on the Taiwan issue, the KMT's attitude has always been that it adheres to the "consensus of '92" and opposes "Taiwan independence." The People's Party, another opposition party, also agrees with the saying that "the two sides of the strait have the same language and the same species" and advocates that "the two sides of the strait are one family."
(Ke Wenzhe openly stated that "the two sides of the strait have the same language and the same species")
This is undoubtedly bad news for Lai Qingde, the "golden son of Taiwan independence."
You must know that a very important reason why he was able to successfully ascend to the throne was that he played the "Taiwan independence" card in a big way and won the support of the party and the United States.
If he is not able to play the "Taiwan independence" card, or even if he cannot play it anymore, he is bound to face even greater pressure.
Facts have proven that "Taiwan independence" will not only not bring any benefits to the people on the island, but will push Taiwan into an even more dangerous situation.
Cross-strait reunification is the trend of history and the aspiration of the people.
Going against the tide is obviously not a wise move.
Under these circumstances, Lai Qingde and other "Taiwan independence" elements may have to think carefully about what they should do next? Will they go all the way to the black, or will they stop the precipice in time?
