【新唐人2014年12月02日讯】台湾史上最大的地方选举结束,国民党在这次选举中大崩盘,在县市长共22席次中,仅取得其中6席,总得票率创新低,执政县市失去大半江山。对于选前执政党提出的大陆经济牌,台湾民众拒绝买单,反而用选票证明,一个国家的美好前途,取决于优质的人民,而非政党。
台湾执政的国民党,在选前主打的两岸牌、经济牌,试图从中国大陆与韩国即将签订自贸区协议FTA,来强调台湾产业的困境。
英国广播公司《BBC》评论,国民党的“经济牌”,失效的原因很简单,第一,青年一代未能分享经济开放的果实。第二,百万台商赚取利润或高薪,不但年轻人享受不到,而且还可能带动当地物价与消费水平上升,从而加剧贫富悬殊;第三,打“经济牌”还可能加深商人干政,权贵垄断的现象。
中华民国立法委员尤美女接受记者采访时表示,人民用选票证明马政府的两岸关系政策有问题。
民进党立法委员尤美女:“可以看得出来,中国要用经济来逼政,或者是完全漠视人权这部分,只是用经济逼政,这是不可行的,所以中国如果想要在两岸关系改善的话,它也必须聆听台湾人民的声音。”
台湾这场选举可以说是太阳花学运后效应,选民不止是对马政府团队的不信任,更是台湾民众用选票向中共说不的最佳见证。
民进党立法委员尤美女:“当政府是站在人民的对立面,人民是会用选票随时把它的权力收回来的。在民主国家最重要的就是人民才是主人,人民作主,所以在太阳花学运喊出一个slogan,‘人民才是国家的指挥官’。”
台湾智库咨询委员董立文:“自己的国家要自己救,自己的权利要自己争取。这次地方选举,其实反映的是马总统的施政,对台湾选民来说,不但是绝望甚至是愤怒。”
今年三月的太阳花学运以后,学生经历学运后,了解到自身与政治的连结性,选举思维不受到政党分野所限,参与政治的动机也愈来愈强,也是影响这次选举结果的重要原因之一。
民进党立法委员尤美女:“人民的力量的确是不容忽视的,尤其当政府漠视人民声音的时候,人民是会反扑的。”
《苹果日报》的社论指出,这次选举结果显示,台湾政治以及竞选文化已经大大改变,新世代政治迅速出现、太阳花学运点亮公民意识,选民“狠狠教训国民党”,以及网络模式与网络政治崛起。
于是,在中共严密监管网路言论自由空间,多位网友因异议言论遭逮捕的同时,台湾的网路乡民对政治议题的讨论热衷,却能让国民党遭遇这场前所未有的溃败。
台湾孔子学会理事长孔维勤博士:“你会发现,以前国民党的机器,那些东西开始松动了,已经没有了,然后你发现它的文宣强势的单向灌输,好像也没有什么太大作用了。反而是在互联网的民间来往里面,对于国民党执政党所做的每一件事情,特别是让百姓不满意的,没有照顾到老百姓的问题,这些议题都会不断的在民间扩散。”
另外,马英九预计在12月3号召开中常会,至于是否会请辞国民党党主席一职,目前马英九本人不做任何说明。不过,12月1号中午,副总统吴敦义先行请辞国民党副主席,并确定不会代理国民党主席。

Taiwan Election Results Show Chinese Economic Card Failed.
The largest local election in the history in Taiwan is finished;
the KMT (Chinese Nationalist Party) crashed in this election.
Out of a total of 22 seats in the county and city,
KMT has made only six seats.
It had a new lowest total percentage of votes and lost the
governing of most of the country.
For the mainland economic card mentioned by the ruling
party in the pre-election, Taiwan people refused to pay for
it, but using the votes to show, a better future of the
country depends on quality of the people, not the party.
Before the election Taiwan’s ruling party KMT, played cross-
strait and economic cards, and tried to highlight the plight
of Taiwan’s industry referring to mainland China and South
Korea’s upcoming free trade zone agreement FTA.
The BBC commented, the failure of KMT’s “economic card"
Is very simple.
Firstly, the young generation is unable to share in
the fruits of economic liberalization.
Secondly, millions of Taiwanese businessmen make a profit
or high salary, it’s not just the young people who don’t
benefit from it, it may also drive a rise in local prices and
consumption levels, exacerbating the disparity of wealth.
Thirdly, playing the “economic card" may deepen the
impression of businessman interference in domestic
affairs and a powerful monopoly.
Taiwan legislator Yu Mei-nu when interviewed told
reporters that the people used the votes to prove that
there is a problem in Ma’s government cross-trait policies.
DPP (Democratic Progressive Party) legislator Yu Mei-nu,
“It can be seen, China is using the economy to force the
government, or completely ignore this part of human rights,
and this is not feasible.
So if China wants to improve the cross-strait relationship,
it also has to listen to the voice of the people of Taiwan."
This election in Taiwan can be said as an effect of the
Sunflower Student Movement;
The voters not only distrust Ma government’s team,
but are also using the votes to say “NO" to the Chinese
Communist Party (CCP), which is the best testimony.
DPP legislator Yu Mei-nu, “When the government is standing
on the opposite side of the people, the people will use the
votes to take back the power at any time. In a democracy
country the most important thing is the people.
The people are the masters, the people decide, so the
Sunflower Student Movement shouted a slogan;
‘The people are the nation’s commander’."
Taiwan Intelligence Advisory Board Tong Li-Wen, “We should
be the ones to save our own country and fight for our rights.
The local elections, in fact, reflected the policy of President
Ma, for Taiwan’s voters, is not only despair but also anger."
After the Sunflower Student Movement in March, after the
experience of the student movement, the students
understand their connections to the politics, their election
thinking is not subject or limited to political division.
Their motivation to participate in politics is getting stronger,
an important reason that affected the election outcome.
DPP legislator Yu Mei-nu: “The peoples’ power really cannot
be ignored.
Especially when the government ignored the voice
of the people, the people will strike back."
Apple Daily editorial pointed out that the election results
show that Taiwan’s politics and campaign culture have
significantly changed.
The rapid emergence of a new political generation, the
Sunflower Student Movement lights up citizenship
awareness, voter “Teach KMT a Lesson", and the rise of
network models and network politics.
Under the tight control of the network of free speech by
the CCP, many users at the same time are arrested due
to making objection comments, Taiwan’s Internet villagers
are keen to discuss political issues.
However they let the KMT suffer this
unprecedented defeat.
Taiwan Confucius Institute director Dr. Kong Weiqin, “You
will find that the previous KMT machines began to loosen
up, and then you see their strong one-way propaganda
indoctrination also does not seem to have a role.
However, it is popular on the Internet and communication
between the people.
Especially those things from KMT that people are not
satisfied with, and those problems that do not take into
account of the people, these are the issues which will
continue to spread among the people."
In addition, Ma Ying-jeou is expected to convene the
Central Standing Committee on Dec. 3, as to whether
he will resign as chairman of the KMT, Ma Ying-jeou
currently has no explanation.
However, on Dec. 1 at noon, Wu Den-yih resigned from the
KMT Vice Chairman position.
He certainly will not be proxy KMT chairman.
