These days I’m having difficulties differentiating between the different parties in Taiwan. It used to be very clear cut that DPP was the green one advocating Taiwan independence whereas the KMT and PFP were the blue ones who were pushing for status quo (ambiguous ROC status without reunification) and continuing economic integration with China.

Now it looks to me all the 3 main parties DPP, KMT, TPP are the same pushing for status quo ROC agenda and continued economic dealings with China.

The DPP in typical opportunistic fashion has decisively pivoted to what used to be the KMT ideology especially now that the hardcore independent ideologues have either died out or been purged by Tsai. KMT has morphed into an old age home with dwindling young members and hasn’t updated its playbook for decades and has nothing new to offer. TPP has no ideology and is almost entirely dependent on its founder Ko and randomly criticizes both DPP and KMT to get votes.

At the rate it’s going very soon the only differentiating factor these parties have is to see who can field more shuaiges and chiobus for elections…
