"The KMT submitted 497,302 signatures for the second phase of the referendum proposal, initiated by KMT Legislator Lu Shiow-yen (盧秀燕), but the commission had ruled 182,848 signatures, or 36.8 percent, invalid by Thursday last week, the official said.
More than 2 percent of signatures belonged to dead people, including some who died long before the petitions were signed, the source said, adding that a significant number of signatures were in the same handwriting styles."
Dead people, seriously? Did they get them during ghost month?
Famous last words. This is exactly what people said about DPP when Ma won his first term as President. Lets see, the Nov 18 elections and the 2020 elections.
" Several foreign clergy who received Republic of China (ROC) citizenship over the past year voted yesterday for the first time after living an average of 50 years in Taiwan."
You mean every time DPP wins an election, it rightly reflects the will of the people? While everytime KMT wins, its due to underhanded/nefarious reasons? Yeah, may the DPP prosper for 10,000 years!
“China’s Taiwan Affairs Office spokesman Ma Xiaoguang (馬曉光) yesterday praised Kaohsiung mayor-elect Han Kuo-yu’s (韓國瑜) acceptance of the so-called “1992 consensus,” calling it imperative for Taiwan’s well-being.”
“The peaceful development of cross-strait relations would bring both sides concrete benefits, which would include economic, cultural and other types of exchanges, he said.” Hahahaha!
Really???
Live with the consequences???
How about the DPP taking a huge voting base (KHH) for granted and getting shot down.
I dislike all career politicians, left and right side of the aisle, and so the DPP deserve the shit that was flung their way last Saturday.
Like all mainstream parties, they won’t change.
Kaohsiung will still be the cheapest of the four big cities in Taiwan to live in. It’s cleaned up its image environmentally, and that can’t be reversed. So, Spencer writer-boy, stay up north where you belong.
it appears you didn’t get my point.
DPP took their biggest, most solid voter base and fuqqed it up. Yes, DPP cleaned it up and then did nothing about jobs and population moving north.
Jobs, jobs, jobs. And not barista jobs.
