Small Party News

The "Third Social Force," a party which aims to fill the center between green and blue extremes, has decided on their new logo -- a cute little apple. The party aims to appeal to youths and those dissatisfied with the two party politics in Taiwan.

The Taiwan Hakka Party (客家黨) expressed their determination to run in the coming election in the at large catagory. We'll see how they fare.

The Taiwan Farmers party has the backing of Grace T.H.W. [investment] Group chairman Winston Wong. That will add to their clout, and with the legislator they recently picked up, they might be able to get a little air time. But no website still. Very sad.

Any party will need 5 percent of the total vote to break the threshold to get any at large seats.
