And once again, we come to the paradox of democracy.
Did the people not vote for a party that very prominently included transitional justice in its platform? At what point should a democratic decision be deemed undemocratic?
Which would be more democratic?
- The KMT submits to the will of the people as interpreted by the DPP.
- The KMT petitions the JY and CY to defy the LY.
- The DPP changes its mind and drops the whole TJ plan.
I don’t claim to have a solution, but I’m curious as to how option 3 would be more democratic than the other two.
