The Taiwan election ended, Lai Qingde of the Democratic Progressive Party won, the Kuomintang's Hou Youyi ranked second, and Ke Wenzhe of the People's Party ranked third.Strangely, in the past few days, the Taiwanese media talked about Ke Wenzhe and its party.Why do you care so much about "third place" now?
Everyone knows before the election. Hou Youyi and Ke Wenzhe must cooperate to have a chance. However, the "blue and white" break the situation before the final deadline for registration, and finally formed a triangle.The Kuomintang and the People's Party have become the possibility of competition and cooperation. Therefore, the problem of "abandoning whom" is formed to concentrate the possibility of maximizing votes to create.
After the blue and white divided, Ke Wenzhe lacked the energy of political party mobilization, especially the two major parties deliberately marginalized Ke, and even the pro -blue and pro -green media were involved in the block.Although Ke Wenzhe did not have the "Army" (no organizational mobilization), no "traditional media" (wired and wireless television stations), he eventually overcome difficulties and obtained 26%of support votes.Although the presidential campaign was defeated, in the case of the three parties of the parliament, the People's Party became a "key minority" between the Kuomintang and the DPP, and the other two major parties must achieve its cooperation.Otherwise, with the confrontation of the two major parties, without the support of the people's party, the Democratic Progressive Party is in power, and the Kuomintang checks and balances.
The actual combat power of the people's party, except for Ke Wenzhe, belongs to Huang Guochang.Huang Guochang was a legislative member and was described as the "God of War" for Congress. Ke Wenzhe described him "one to five".In this election activity, Ke Wenzhe fought for the president with policy claims, while Huang Guochang supervised the strength of the disadvantages, and the two became the two suns of the party.The reason why young people or middle -class voters support the people's party and hope that the charm and strength of the "God of War" is definitely the key.
After the election, the two major parties aimed at grabbing the president of the Legislative Yuan. The people's party became the key -which political party to support, and the candidates launched by that party can win.When the Congress opened, the people's party was also a key minority -who supports the reform of Congress to support who, so the two major parties must seriously respond to the conditions it proposed.
In addition to a small number of people, they are also talking about the consequences of Ke Wenzhe and the blue and white break. Now most of the media have noticed that this political party that has only been established for only four years has increased.Double, the number of votes obtained is doubled.Ke Wenzhe achieved this result under the killing and serious lack of resources of the two major parties. As a result, some people said that "Ke Wenzhe did not lose" and focused on the next presidential election of four years later.Compared with the other two parties, only the people's party grows, because it attracts young people's votes, so some people think that if Ke Wenzhe can't come out this time, Hou Youyi can not win, because Ke's young tickets will flow to the DPP instead of the Nationalist Party, not the Nationalist Party, not the Nationalist Party.EssenceAt that time, Ke had realized that if he and Houhe were not "positive", the young supporters would run away, and the result would still lose.
Ke was supported by the most young people in the three groups, the highest volume in the media and the network.Without traditional mobilization conditions, the young and spontaneous power created a great momentum, so that the pre -election conference was frightened by the other two parties.Whether it is the Kuomintang or the Democratic Progressive Party, it is based on the traditional basic disk, that is, the past supports them, basically it will not change, and it also forms a rigid or fixed, which cannot attract young people.On the contrary, Ke Wenzhe is closer to young people with a sense of reason and opening up, so that they can find the feeling they can participate and accept, so the people's party has become the most vibrant, fresh, creative, and enthusiastic political party in this election.
Focusing on the changes in voters' structure in the next four years, the elderly of the two major parties will pass, and a generation of young people will join the first investment clan.From the perspective of this election, "the young man gets the world" is a advantage that the people's party will still be favored in the future. The growth of the voter structure will be the most promising.If Ke Wenzhe fights again four years later, he and the people's party are still the biggest threat of the two major parties of the country and the people.
