When I went to Kaohsiung in southern Taiwan to see the election, the atmosphere of the blue -green and white three -party venue was hotter than I expected.
Before the election, Super Sunday (January 7), the Kuomintang of the Blue Camp, the Democratic Progressive Party of the Green Camp, and the people of the Baiying all went to Kaohsiung Field in Kaohsiung.Green Camp must condense the basic disk, Blue Camp wants to break through the same temperature, and Bai Ying does not want to be compared.
I ride a bicycle Youbike running three stalls and avoiding the dragon.On the day, Blue and Green claimed that 120,000 people came, and Bai Ying also shouted 80,000 people.The people of the Kuomintang in the Dream Times Square are full of crowds, and many people have a red flag.The Democratic Progressive Party's venue beside the Fengshan West MRT station was hard to run, and hawkers selling sausage, crispy fried squids, etc. placed more than 50 stalls on the sidelines.The venue of the people's party at the park next to the MRT Station of the Ganzi bottom also turned over. Countless youthful and invincible iron powder was accompanied to cheer for the white power.
At the momentum in front of the Presidential Palace before the election, the people's party even claimed that it attracted more than 300,000 people to present, which was amazing, indicating that the third political sector other than blue and green had formed, which would have a profound impact on future political situations.
The international press conference of the first three parties was also very hot. 165 international media from 31 countries gathered in Treasure Island. When asked questions, almost everyone rushed to raise hands.
However, many friends who visit Taiwan have felt that Taiwan's election this year is particularly cold.
Friends say that the coldness of election seems to be reflected in two aspects.First, there are fewer election posters on the street, and the second is that the taxi driver does not have to talk about politics.I replied that whenever I left the election occasion and the same temperature layer of the supporters and talked to the young people I encountered, I felt more about their coldness of politics and indifference to the election campaign.So as right.
A few days ago, I asked the 25 -year -old female manager at the supermarket cheap barrier station to support?She replied a little embarrassed: "Actually, I don't even have a concept of a political party in Blue, green and white, and who is running for president." She revealed that there was no vote in the last session, and this session did not intend to vote.The voting station is actually on the high school campus across the street opposite the supermarket, but she said that in the past to vote, it would take an hour to go back and forth, afraid to affect the work.The hairdresser believes that it is a small citizen struggling on the life line.She asked, is there a difference who voted to be the president?Will it change the life of the low salary?
Master students who studied at the second grade at the university research said that this year's political parties frequently fought negative election campaigns and conducted personal attacks.It is said that if the weather is good, you may consider going outing.
Compared to voting to express political stance, not voting or invalidating votes is also an attitude, indicating that they are not satisfied with the candidates on the table, or they are not interested, or they do not expect.
Taiwan law has no mandatory voting. The overall voting rate of the presidential election in 2020 was 74.9%, which was lower in 2016, only 66.27%.Some experts predict that the current vote rate is about 70 %, and the vote rate will be higher if the weather is good.General analysis, the voting rate has increased, which is not good for the DPP, which has been criticized in the past eight years, because the extra votes are more likely to flow to the opposition party.
I think that the enthusiastic attention of international media reflects the situation in Taiwan that affects the peace, Sino -US relations and regional stability in Taiwan.The enthusiasm of the blue -green and white elections shows that many people are very concerned about whether they can achieve political party rotation or continue green governance.
However, fighting in the wild camp is likely to lead to the profit of the fisherman of the ruling party. Therefore, the Kuomintang's final juncture was calling for the concentration of votes in the wild.Taiwan ", hopes to get off the blue and green at the same time to kill a blood path for the third forces.
Perhaps, the heat and cold inside and outside the elections show that on the one hand, this election in Taiwan is vital to the regional situation and determine the future politics policies;People ’s livelihood is also difficult to appeal to more voters.
The world is watching. Under the strategy of competitive China and the United States, how does Taiwan not become a troublemaker in the future, including not allowing mainland China to lose expectations of the prospects of cross -strait peace and unity, and adopt radical movements, including not allowing the United States to prevent the United States from not allowing the United StatesIt was involved in a great country war due to the heating situation of the Taiwan Strait, which impacted regional countries and global economies.
The people of Taiwan are also litting their eyes. After all the blue -green and white, after doing their best to win the election campaign, can the election commitment be implemented, bringing a good day to the people of peace and prosperity, and the good governance of clean and diligence.Essence
