Competition is good for the KMT
With Ma’s indictment, KMT is thrown into a tailspin. Ma stepped down from the KMT chairman position but also he immediately declared for Presidential elections. Without a chairman, KMT is scrambling to find a replacement. Some are advocating Lian Chan the honary chairman to step back in. So far Lian has refused the offer citing that he has no desire to do so. Aircow believes that Lian is doing the right thing in not coming back to lead the party. Fresh new blood is needed for the KMT. It needs politicians that can connect with the taiwanese people and does not need washed out politicians to come back. Uniting china under ROC must wait, uniting taiwan should be ROC’s main concern. The truth is that 现在的ROC已不是从前的ROC 想要光复大陆河山,走向共和还得靠大陆人自已.
However, with that said then who is the right candidate for the KMT to run for Presidential elections of the new Republic of China, a republic of china that is focused on unifying the taiwan island. Is it really Wang Jing Ping because he is local taiwanese thus he understands taiwan? Or Ma someone with a unscroupulous record and one who has shown he is willing to make tough decision to reform the old KMT. I think Ma is the better candidate. But who cares about what I think. Why is the KMT still falling back into the old back room politics? Lian is wise not to step back into the chairmanship, but he is showing stupidity by trying to get Ma and Wang to talk. Nobody in taiwan is falling for the fake unity that Lian is trying to create. Ma and Wang should just use the democratic system within the party to choose the KMT’s presidential candidate. Why is that so difficult? There is no need for the party to appear united, everyone already knows both Ma and Wang wants to run for President. Competition is good, KMT needs to start embracing it or else its existence will not be for long
