After two rounds of voting in the election, the election of the principal and deputy responsible persons of Taiwan's legislature finally formed the "Han Jiang Pei" by Kuomintang members Han Kuo-yu and Jiang Qichen, who were ranked first.
In the first and second rounds, 54 votes were received. **You Xikun and Cai Qichang formed "You Changpei" to seek re-election, and received 51 votes in the second round of voting, but failed. As for the People's Party, which has 8 seats, it played the role of a "key minority" leverage, and in the first round of the election of Huang Shanshan received 7 votes and 1 invalid vote, and in the second round abstained from voting, forming a blue-green showdown competition pattern.
** Although he won the election of "minority leaders", he was unable to dominate the legislature, so that the separation of executive power and legislation is a "separation" of different political parties, and the election of "Han Jiangpei" as the head of the legislature and the cooperation of various political alliances and policy issues within the legislature will inevitably impact Taiwan's internal party politics, social cohesion and national identity, the interactive relationship between the executive power and the legislative power, and the formation of cross-strait discourses and lines that have attracted much attention.
First of all, the People's Party (PPP) has adopted a flexible and balanced operation strategy based on the autonomy of political parties and the role of the opposition party in supervising the ruling party. Under the structure of transcending the blue-green dualistic political antagonism, we insisted on taking the third route, maximizing the core roles and roles of the key minority, and chose to put forward candidates on their own in the first round and abstain in the second round. This strategy confirms and clarifies the political autonomy and values of the People's Party. Although this did not choose the green-white or blue-white alliance in form, it was actually conducive to the victory of the "Han Jiang pair". If the People's Party chooses to form a "green and white match", it can certainly ask for more political resources and power positions from ***, but this is contrary to the "political party rotation" goal of "removing *** and not falling, Taiwan will not be good" that the People's Party demanded during the election of Taiwan's leaders.
Second, it is necessary to enhance the supervision and checks and balances of the legislative power over the executive power. The election of the principal and deputy responsible persons of Taiwan's legislature shows that all parties are strictly disciplined, and there has not been a phenomenon of being poached and running away from votes. From Ma Ying-jeou of the Kuomintang to Tsai Ing-wen of ***, Taiwan's ruling authorities are all subordinate to the "unanimous ruling authority", fully ruling and holding executive and legislative powers; However, in this election, only 40% of the people will receive the leadership of the Taiwan region, and the number of seats held by the political parties in the legislature is "less than half of the three parties", which indicates that the political alliance or policy cooperation between the political parties will be more complicated in the future interaction.
The political structure of the "Ono Dai" is conducive to preventing Taiwan's legislature from becoming a rubber stamp for the executive branch and avoiding being reduced to the status of an executive branch in the Legislative Council. Since the Tsai Ing-wen government is fully in power, and holds both executive and legislative powers, the legislature has become a vassal of the executive branch, resulting in the "executive**" even being criticized as a "green authoritarian ruling system", including allowing the controversial American Lai pig and Japan's Fukushima nuclear disaster area food to enter Taiwan in an excessive administrative discretionary way, failing to fully consider consumer rights and health.
If Taiwan's legislature, which has a majority in blue and white, has long labeled its pro-China political party as green, it should be conducive to promoting cross-strait social exchanges in various fields and safeguarding the rights and interests of the people if it is related to cross-strait laws. For example, legislation can be loosened to standardize and promote normalized and healthy exchanges. If we can revise the law that restricts the rights and interests of the people on both sides of the strait too strictly, we can reduce the "chilling effect" of those who actively promote cross-strait exchanges, and thus restore the quality and quantity of cross-strait economic, social, educational, and cultural exchanges.
Therefore, similar to the so-called "Five Laws of National Security" and "People's Law" should be reviewed; prevent *** from lowering the threshold of "constitutional amendment"; In addition, before taking office, he proposed that the "Regulations on the Supervision of Cross-Strait Agreements" be codified, but they were delayed and not passed after eight years in power. The new legislature can re-examine the cross-strait service agreement and goods agreement; At the same time, a number of restrictive laws will be amended to promote cross-strait exchanges and cooperation in various fields.
Finally, it is necessary to restrain the Lai Qingde authorities from excessively radicalizing the cross-strait line. Lai Qingde won the support of 40 percent of the public and became a "minority leader," advocating "pragmatic **," "Taiwan is not a part of China," "the '92 consensus is one country, two systems," tacitly "Taiwanese are not Chinese," and "the one-China principle brings war," and so on.
At the same time, those who promote cross-strait exchanges, whether it is the "Kuomintang-Communist Forum" touching on political party exchanges, the "Straits Forum" involving exchanges in various social fields, and the "Shanghai-Taiwan Twin Cities Forum" promoting cross-strait urban governance experience exchange and cooperation, all have a negative evaluation or "cognitive warfare" impact. This not only makes it difficult to unite Taiwanese society, promote party politics and divide national identity; It is also not easy to establish a framework for cross-strait peace and stability. Taiwan's "Kuomintang," which advocates the "92 Consensus," and the People's Party, which advocates "one family on both sides of the strait," prove that "pragmatism" and "resisting China and protecting Taiwan" are not Taiwan's mainstream thinking and policy line.
The election of "Han Jiangpei" as the head of the legislature means that there is more room for blue-white cooperation, which can restrain the soaring foreign affairs policies and lines of green radical cross-strait affairs. In other words, Taiwan's legislature is dominated by the blue and white camps, which shows that sixty percent of the public opinion of the blue camp advocating the "92 Consensus" and the white camp advocating "one family on both sides of the strait" is the mainstream. Forty percent of the public opinion that chooses the green camp to advocate "pragmatism" and "always maintain the status quo" is not the mainstream. It shows that the people of Taiwan generally hope to resume dialogue and consultation with the mainland, and are unwilling to reverse cross-strait exchanges and fall into the risk of being on the verge of war.
In short, Han Kuo-yu lost his bid for the leadership of the Taiwan region, and then experienced the political setback of being ousted as mayor of Kaohsiung. The fact that he has now been elected as the head of the legislature by the new public opinion just proves the impermanence of the political game. Han Kuo-yu did not try to qualify again in this Taiwanese leadership election, but wholeheartedly assisted New Taipei Mayor Hou Youyi to run; Now that he has been elected as the leader of the legislature, the new public opinion choice is in line with the concept of fairness and justice, reflecting the illegitimacy of the Kaohsiung mayor's recall. Just like Hou Youyi's defeat in the election, there is also a risk of being recalled, forming a vicious fight between political parties.
If Han Kuo-yu regains the political stage and political space, if he can gather public opinion and lead the legislature, he can not only play the role of the legislative power in supervising and balancing the executive power, but also promote good interaction between party politics. At the same time, the moderate cross-strait line of the blue and white political parties can have a restraining effect on the green and radical cross-strait line, which is conducive to the peaceful development of the two sides of the strait.
