After Zhao Shaokang, chairman of Taiwan China Guangxi, announced his return to the Kuomintang, many blue camp supporters were very excited, believing that there is finally a capable and responsible person to come out to lead the Kuomintang out of the dilemma, but many netizens were also puzzled, curious about how powerful Zhao Shaokang is and can give so many expectations to the Blue Camp?
Some netizens dug out information and said that it was not unreasonable for Zhao Shaokang to be called the "Political Golden Boy" back then. Looking back at the "Legislative Council" election in 1992, the "Legislative Council" election that year was still the same as the current member elections, and it was a single non-transferable vote (SNTV), which means that there will be dozens of candidates for voters to choose from in a single constituency, and the number of votes ranked first was elected.
In 1992, 48 people ran for the "legislator" election in Taipei County Constituency (now New Taipei City ) and 16 seats should be elected. In that election, Zhao Shaokang won 16.96% of the votes alone, winning a total of 235,887 votes, which is nearly twice the 119,661 votes for the second-most vote Democratic Progressive Party candidate Lu Xiuyi!
Because Zhao Shaokang and Lu Xiuyi took more than 25% of the votes in the entire constituency, the "legislator" who ranked behind only needs less than 3% of the votes to be elected. The district's "end of election", and the Democratic Progressive Party member Chaubran became a "legislator" after only receiving 2.65% of the district's votes.
, and because of Zhao Shaokang, this "super ticket sucking machine", the Blue Camp won 11 seats in the 16 seats in the "legislator" election in Taipei County Constituency. It is worth mentioning that the third-place vote in the district that year was former mayor of Kaohsiung Kaohsiung , and received 5.89% of the votes, a total of 81,885 votes.
The netizen pointed out that anyone who has done election research will know that Zhao Shaokang. As an "example", he has his status in political science research. He can even be said to be one of the main reasons for abolishing the SNTV election system. After that, there have been calls for reform, and in 2005 it was changed to the current single constituency and two-vote system. Although his problems are there in the new system, it is at least much better than SNTV.
This article sparked discussion on the forum, and other netizens said, "2.6% can be elected, it's easy to talk about", "The two votes system in a single constituency simply means to get a joint party in Taiwan", "This is a strange choice to make people with a wide range of popularity in Taiwan get a large number of votes", "The Taipei Mayor Debate in 1994 is always endless."
