Kryzys polityczny na Tajwanie

Wygląda, że Tajwan kroczy prosto w poważny kryzys polityczny i konstytucyjny. Spodziewano się, że KMT będzie utrudniać rządy DPP, ale to co się dzieje, sięga dalej niż większość obserwatorów oczekiwała i wychodzi poza ramy demokracji konstytucyjnej.

Han Kuo-yu (韓國瑜) of the KMT was elected as the speaker of Taiwan's 11th Legislature. The vote went along party lines with the TPP's caucus abstaining from the second round of voting after their candidate Huang Shan-shan (黃珊珊) was eliminated.

Frozen Garlic discusses whether strategic voting could influence the outcome of Taiwan's presidential election

"...some strategic voting will occur, and it will be a net benefit for Hou. However, I suspect it will not be as powerful or overwhelming a trend as many people expect."
