If Hsieh wins then what?
I guess there will be the inevitable sore-loser protests; It was all _____'s fault!!!
The KMT won’t work with Hsieh or even talk to him, no matter what attempts he’ll make. (*See China vs. Dalai Lama)
Then the KMT legislative supermajority will just pull the plug on him.
Then what? Just keep having elections until the KMT gets a favourable result?
Hi,
KMT recalls DDP President with claim that “we’re protecting Taiwan by ensuring President is not DDP”, then, “now we have no President we will assign an interim President to ensure stability, and by the way here’s a new act just passed through the legistration (last night) that says the interim boss can remain in power until the next scheduled election - or until martial law is declared”
Regards
Michael
KMT will most likely just boycott him in everyway possible, much similiar to how they treat CSB. Obviously Chen wouldn’t have anything accomplished during his term, and be voted out. KMT can always use the media which they control to smir some random fake negative news about Hsieh. Bottom line; if Hsieh gets elected every pan-blue supporter and lawmaker would go ape-shit and boycott everything, and yes the all too popular sore-loser protest.
I predict a sore looser protest no matter who wins.
I predict total caos if DPP wins. They are still protesting “A bian Xia Tai” up until today. I can see them blues claiming electoral fraud if Hishe gets elected, and storming the CEC… 2004 all over again, with a bit of 2000 thrown in -remember the surrounding Chaing Kai-shek Memorial Hall mess?
As to the green, there will be crying and in party yelling, but nothing as serious.
It would be metldown for the KMT is they refused to cooperate with Hsieh. People are a little more savvy now and everyone knows the KMT control the legistive so there can no longer be any excuses for bills not being passed. I hope they do try it though, and I suspect they would be stupid enough. Ma has no power over the party so short-term interests would take front seat.
What she said. It goes both ways folks. Stop pointing fingers already suggesting one side is worse than the other. 
Much depends on the size of the victory margin.
The bigger it is, the less the losers have the opportunity to whine about ‘irregularities.’
If there is a small margin, I would bet on a repeat of 2004 (protest-sue-recount), but just like Mer and Housecat, I don’t think one side is less sore at losing than the other.

Care to provide some examples to bolster this opinion? I think it’s quite apparent the KMT do not know how to lose. They didn’t just whine last time, they did all the could to overturn the results. When they couldn’t they then went on to completely paralize the operations of government for the next 4 years.
There’s no comparison at all.
I agree completely MM… Funny, I asked the people at my project today who are all Ma supporters, “what would happen if Hsieh won?”
While the majority said nothing, one lady went absolutely fucking nuts, she it will never happen and if it does Taiwan will turn be complete chaos… While this lady is a little whacky, I do agree… They are sore losers, both of them, green and blue, but if Hsieh pulled the lucky feather out of his ass and won(which I hope for), could you imagine what would happen?? It might be quite an unusual situation to say the least.
I think the losers should be forced to swim to Kinmen and back.

Well, that’s one way to look at it. Sounds like a load of stinky rhetoric to me, but believe what you want MM.
We have yet to see the DPP lose a presidential election, really, so there’s nothing to compare it to. And, of course, the circumstances of each election are different.

Um, it wasn’t exacty a secret. But you keep on believing the things that sound good to your ears. Are they fairies that bring you the latest news on taiwan, or are they pixies?

It’s DPP dogma that you’ve bought into and choose to pass off as ‘the way things are’. Way to go! :bravo:
Is it Uncle Frank or A-Bian who tells you ‘how it is’ when you’re sitting on his lap at bedtime listening to stories?
Regardless of who wins of course, the legislature will immediatly get to work on transfering as much executive power as they can to the legislature.
The majority of KMT legislators didn’t support Ma for leader and won’t want him interfering with them. Being president in Taiwan will become something like being the queen in England; brought out to shake hands with visiting dignitaries and have a photo shoot - but no real power.
thats a very interesting point,
the structural demise of democracy!
You mean from China, right?

… and Icon wins! All the others predicting DPP throwing a riot or causing chaos have so far been proven absolutely wrong. Do those individuals care to apologize and reiterate?
But the KMT didn’t cheat their way into the office. The campaign the KMT ran was honorable and above-board on all levels. Why would anyone feel the need to riot? Even supporters of the opposition felt they were given every opportunity to discredit MYJ. They even got their stupid referrendum which everyone rejected again.
