Former Kaohsiung Mayor South Korea Yu and New Taipei Mayor Hou Youyi are of course very different.South Korea ’s Yu has an outgoing personality and likes to make friends. Even in a strange environment, he is often the easiest person to be seen.Hou Youyi's personality is restrained and implicit. Although he occasionally appears "brother", he is unharmed, and outsiders are not easy to understand his inner world.
The external image of the two is also very different.South Korea ’s Yu always tongue lotus, from“ going out, people coming in, Kaohsiung make a fortune ”,“ Give me a bottle of mineral water and a bowl of braised pork rice ”,“ let Taipei go to politics, and let Kaohsiung fight for the economy ”Although the mouth grows in front of the head, it is simple and powerful, and every sentence is a title.Hou Youyi is a cherished word like gold, from "Hou Hou as a generation", "unity and coexistence", to "Everyone work together ...", turn around and go back a few words and always arrange a combination.When you come out, sometimes the outside world will feel that he is "unpredictable", but some people ridicule his "limited vocabulary".
The difference between the two is "qualifications".Before the president of South Korea, Yu Yu had been a legislator for three sessions, but there was almost no complete administrative experience: he and the deputy mayor of the city were the third -level administrative unit, and the general manager of the Taipei Agricultural Communication Company wasIt is a public institution, and the mayor of Kaohsiung announced that he would choose the president in less than half a year.As for Hou Youyi, he has been in the official organs in his life. His most important qualifications are in the police world. Before the Director of Police and Police University, before the post of mayor of New Taipei, he became the deputy mayor of New Taipei City in eight years.The experience seems to be more "head" than South Korean Yu.
However, there are also many the same two, the biggest is the question of "running".
Whether politicians have discarded voters' entrustment and "running" to seek higher positions are actually subjective.However, there are still a few of them that can be followed;
1. Compared to the representative of public opinion, the county mayor's conversion track will be more blame; because the former is only a "agent" and the latter is "local parent official".Therefore, Wang Hongwei had just elected the Taipei City Councilor to go to the legislators for a few days and was successfully elected. However, South Korea ’s Yu chose the president is the name of abandoning the“ parental official ”duty and always unable to go to run.2. It depends on the length of their positions.South Korean Yu announced that he would choose the president in less than half a year as the mayor of Kaohsiung, which was a typical "riding a donkey to find a horse". In addition, he also vowed to declare that "the president will not be elected as the mayor", and he is naked to voters.As for Hou Youyi, he has completed the mayor (and eight years of deputy mayor), and when he was forced to ask, he never promised not to choose the president in his office, and finally won more than 400,000 votes.Hou camp optimisticly believes that this is the "acquiescence" of voters who choose the president.
Does the voters in New Taipei acquiesce Hou Youyi to choose the president?This view is quite different.However, if Hou Youyi really put into the presidential election, he always had to face a question: "Since the elected mayor must choose the president in less than half a year, why should he choose the mayor?"Mayor? "If Hou Youyi did not give the outside world a good answer, he would definitely provoke the sense of deprivation of voters.At the beginning, in just two years, South Korea ’s Yu changed from a candidate from the mayor of Kaohsiung citizens to 930,000 Kaohsiung citizens.Hou Youyi really interpreted the "400,000 votes" as the support of voters' support for his choice of president.
In addition to "running", South Korea ’s Yu and Hou Youyi have a larger the same, that is,“ unknown ”.
Taiwan has chosen seven presidents. Generally speaking, people who choose the president always have some basic qualifications.For example, he is better to be a pavilion, or he has the experience of important ministries.If there is no chance to enter the cabinet in the wild party, candidates are best to be the mayor of Taipei or at least the other five capital mayor. If they can be the party chairman, leading a political party will be more complete.The so -called qualifications means that on the one hand, the practice and preparation of the presidential candidate, on the other hand, also allows voters to pursue his views on important issues from the political journey of the candidate and make choices.
South Korea ’s president has only been the mayor of Kaohsiung for half a year before the president, and Hou Youyi was not full. More importantly, they rarely put forward their views on the national administration before running.It is difficult for voters to predict how South Korean Yu will cope with the issue of cross -strait national defense diplomacy after being elected president. As now, he still does not know Hou Youyi ’s view of the 1992 consensus?What will I do to deal with the US -China and Taiwan relations?What is his resistance?Can you bear the gap between the public opinion in response to the conservative forces within the Kuomintang?Voters vote for them to vote for "unknown" and more than unwanted parties' preferences. They usually do not like this unpredictable "unknown" feeling.
"Unknown" will indeed create a "hazy beauty", and "hazy beauty" will allow supporters to produce a "fantasy".Four years ago, the tide of "Korean Wave" was the fantasy of the Kuomintang; Hou Youyi, who was full of "unknown" four years later, had to choose the president, but would it be the dream of the Blue camp supporters?
