Taiwan’s political arena is treacherous and changeable. The two major parties are each planning their own 2020 ranks and the number of public opinion representatives. Both sides also count the common potential enemy "white force" Ke Wen-je in order to prevent being overwhelmed by the "white force" known as the third force. As expected, in more than nine months since last year's "nine-in-one election", Ko Wen-je's "Ke Family Army" has failed in February after the by-election of public opinion representatives in Shilin and Datong District in Taipei City, and after a period of diving, Ko Wen-je will establish the "Taiwan People's Party" on August 6. At the same time, according to a poll conducted by Wang Haoyu, a member of the famous "Han Black" Green Party, the top three parties support the political party are 34% of the Kuomintang, 24.8% of the Democratic Progressive Party and 9.1% of the "Taiwan People's Party". Ko Wen-je's "white power" is super fierce. Before the political party is established, it can be said that Ko Wen-je, who calls himself a "political amateur", is already a scheming politician. Ke Wenzhe's every word and deed will attract the attention of Chinese people on the island, on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and at home and abroad, because as we all know, he will not be satisfied with the status quo and will eventually target the top position in 2020. Therefore, if you want to run for 2020, you must party the "Ke Family Army". Therefore, the "Taiwan People's Party" is about to emerge from the island.
Mr. Jiang Weishui
Why should I name it "Taiwan People's Party"? Compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait who are familiar with this century-old history know that the "Taiwan People's Party" was established by Mr. Jiang Weishui, one of the famous leaders of Taiwan's anti-colonial movements during the Japanese occupation. Mr. Jiang Weishui upholds the uncompromising national spirit and fights for freedom for compatriots on the island. He has continued to fight with the Japanese colonial authorities throughout his life, so he has been sentenced to more than ten prisons. Mr. Jiang Weishui published an article "Slogan of the Year" at the age of 38 in 1927, proposing that "compatriots must be united, and unity is really strong", and organized people with aspirations to jointly establish the "Taiwan People's Party". Therefore, Ke Wenzhe, who was also a doctor, asked the descendants of Jiang Weishui to be the only one who was born in 1992 years ago, under the banner of the "Taiwan People's Party", hoping to get the support of middle-aged voters who were tired of the fight against the blue and green, and to cleverly use this connection with Mr. Jiang Weishui's history.
Therefore, on the morning of August 1, Ko Wen-je announced that it would be the founding day of the "Taiwan People's Party" on August 6. The most important thing is that it is Ko Wen-je's 60th birthday, an alternative miracle in Taiwan's democratic politics. Of course, the most important thing is to talk about what Ke Wen-je wants to sell in the "Taiwan People's Party". According to the party's central idea, "Taiwan's interests are the greatest welfare of the people." The party’s three principles of decision-making are “public opinion, professionalism, and value.” The party’s administrative principles are “clean, diligent, and loving the people.” But can it really benefit the people of Taiwan through the birth and clever historical connection between being a doctor with Mr. Jiang Weishui? Perhaps Mr. Jiang Weishui's descendants have more say to comment. Jiang Weishui's nephew Jiang Lirong said in an interview that Mr. Jiang Weishui's life was engaged in resisting Japanese colonial rule for the sake of the public rather than individuals. She doubted whether Ke Wenzhe's "Taiwan People's Party" would give priority to "Taiwan interests" and "Taiwan people" or seize the birth of Ke Wenzhe and Mr. Jiang Weishui as both doctors and take "Jiang Weishui" as a cloak to consume. Jiang Lirong also said in an interview that this is also the time to test Ke Wenzhe's party program, or to put gold on her face to expose the gap between herself and Mr. Jiang Weishui.
According to the current rules of the game of political party politics in Taiwan, the survival of a party is to get votes and get seats for public opinion. Therefore, the most important thing for Ko Wen-je’s "Taiwan People's Party" is to get votes and get seats for public opinion in the legislative body. The goal of his party is to win several seats for public opinion in one fell swoop with high support, and at the same time, he can also get a lot of subsidies to the party. The party organization will first decide whether to run for the 2020 position in September. Anyone with discerning eyes knows that Ko Wen-je’s every step is carefully planned.Comparing the establishment of Mr. Jiang Weishui's "Taiwan People's Party" 92 years ago, it was established under the leadership of the Japanese colonial rule. In contrast, what Ko Wen-je said and done in recent years, and now the establishment of the "Taiwan People's Party" is for the continuation of votes and his own personal political life. Whether Ke Wen-je's "Taiwan People's Party" is truly inherited from Mr. Jiang Weishui's spirit remains to be decided by the Taiwanese people with votes.
