Post election evaluations here, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
“As the waves receded, you will know, who wasn’t, wearing, any, PANTS!” Now, the water’s, receded, and we see, that almost, NOBODY was, wearing, PANTS! Especially, as all the vulgarness showed from, the politicians!
The mottos of “the realities of the people’s wanting to deshelve the DDP!”, “Pushing forth the reforms from within the party, the president wins the election by popular votes!” After the elections, NONE of the politicians, the commentators, talked about, any of these, issues, totally, hypocritical!
And yet, this election, the D.D.P., in the crippled means of the K.M.T., won a little over forty-percent of the votes, and this made the wills of the majority of the polled citizens’ “take the DDP off the shelves” go BUST, and, those who wanted to take the DDP out of office can only, swallow their, tears, and accept the results. And, had the KMT won under these same circumstances, will the DDP conceded their, losses? No matter how many times the polls were taken, it still, don’t replace the formal elections, and, what’s most reflective of the majority of the voters’ opinions, is to let the party that won the most number of votes, get into, office.
This isn’t only, to ensure that the elected needed to fill the requirements of the majority of voters’ will, but also, it will help reduce the calculations of the elections, have more rationality to the voting, to NOT suppress those who are, actually, capable. Most importantly, so we the voters, don’t go to the polls, with tears in our, eyes, but be happy, voting for who we find fitting, to NOT worry about the results; then, as nobody won more than half the votes in the first round of voting, seriously, consider, who of the two most votes, is better fitted, to rule over us all. And, the end result of this, would it not be, more accepted by the majority of the, voters right now?
Certainly, we can’t deny, that in the win by popular votes, the Lai-Hsiao combination might win the elections, and that it may be, the highest but, so long as the majority of voters’ votes being considered, then, it would not be affirmed, that the winning party had, gained the, most number of, votes, but the one who won, would not have gained, half of the voters’, supports. It’s exactly the same the opposite; even after the long-term surveys, which proved that “taking the DDP off the shelves” is the wills of the majority of the public, but, the public opinions can be, shifted, without the formal election of majority votes received being the elected, there’s, no justifications to take the unofficial majority of public opinion as the opinions of the general, public.
And, everything that’s onstage, especially, for Ke, he needed to keep his words, and really push forth the candidate with the popular votes gets elected into office. Otherwise, the motto of “voting DDP out of office”, became, nothing more than, a trickery of the mottos during the election time! I’m really hoping, that the politicians will push forth the elected by popular votes principles, which party it may, come from!
And so, this, is the post-election views, when none of the candidates get more than half, then, it’s only, natural, that we get the one with the most number of votes into office, right? But, that would not be, unfair, especially when not everybody who has the right to vote had, voted, there’s NO mail-in voting system in this “country”, and we’d had to go to the, DESIGNATED voting locations, we can’t vote out of, district, and that’s, inconvenient, because, what if, someone is working out of the location where s/he is, registered, to live, and, can’t get back home on time, to vote? Then, the individuals’ votes, don’t get, counted, so yeah, there’s the need for the reforms of the, voting, means in this, “country” (are we still one???) of, “ours”…note: I’m still NOT from “around here”!
