But again, either one would be fine.阿牛https://www.blogger.com/profile/08403972286057197709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3444895069543408811.post-67243555734762485062007-12-25T20:18:00.000+08:002007-12-25T20:18:00.000+08:00didn't the blue legislative pass a law last week m...didn't the blue legislative pass a law last week making 2 step voting legal. of course the DPP cabinet branded the law as illegitimate. the respective parties have to sort out the division of powers between the executive and legislative branch in the future. maybe a parliamentary system is better.<BR/>most of the papers I read suggest KMT and allies could grab to 2/3 of seats and the rest green seats.<BR/>that's typical of the blue over positive perception. one can add another 10 seats to DPP predicated target of 40 seats.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02437974490814908190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3444895069543408811.post-27218113453196846452007-12-25T17:42:00.000+08:002007-12-25T17:42:00.000+08:00Yes, it does look like the CEC and central governm...Yes, it does look like the CEC and central government are pressing the matter. Hopefully they will get their way, because it can't be good for democracy if local regions ignore central instructions when it's convenient.<BR/><BR/>As I said on the PD blog, the KMT shot themselves in the foot when they petitioned the CEC to have a two-stage system - if they couldn't force the issue, why talk to them at all? To force the DPP to have a two-stage format in their own areas?<BR/><BR/>Ridiculous.Rajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034317459759343093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3444895069543408811.post-80891912991422977372007-12-25T16:41:00.000+08:002007-12-25T16:41:00.000+08:00In my neighborhood in Taipei County it seems the g...In my neighborhood in Taipei County it seems the green is making a little better effort than the blue. However, the overall level of campaigning activity and amount of posters and flags seems less than during the local elections.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13061413827755873948noreply@blogger.com
