Some butt hurt from the usual mouthpieces.
I thought this was going to be a nothing-burger.
The rules were that if the recall vote was successful, then that seat would be vacated, then a by-election will be held in three months to fill that seat.
Therefore, even if politicians got recalled, then what probably will happen next is the KMT will win their strongholds again.
Unless the DPP had the idea they could use this brief window to enact some sort of legislation, but that could be reversed in three months.
So I though nothing will come out of this, win or lose, because they still have to fight the election.
On this issue, seems like this has gone really bad for the DPP, and that asshole Lai in particular.
The story was this was a grassroots moment, which the DPP distanced themselves from at first, but seeing the momentum of it, decided to back it eventually.
Let's take a break break to look at this Brooklyn Bridge brochure, on sale! Kind of like a two for one deal. Limited time offer.
I really thought this was a nothing-burger, but now it seems clear that Lai is a lame duck trusted by no one until the next presidential election.
This was a resounding defeat, that leaves the DPP far weaker. It is that expression, political capital.
You only got so much, and they spent it on antics like this.
A general principle seems to be that when a government is weak, the nation could be weak too. There is no cohesion in Taiwan society that is for sure, only the status quo, which is imposed by external forces.
By doing this, DPP not only made themselves weaker, they probably weaken Taiwan significantly too.
Chinese spies deep inside the government, and all they want to do it stuff like this, and lose it too.
Haha!
