Taiwan’s Party Politics

East Asian Policy (EAP), 2022, vol. 14, issue 02, 5-21

Abstract: In this article, the author assesses the current status of Taiwan’s two main political parties focusing on the Democratic Progress Party’s (DPP) current popularity and its ruling party status and the Kuomintang’s (KMT) feelings of defeatism and malaise. Lack of party unity is a big factor. So are recent laws that handicap the KMT. Thus, it appears the KMT will do poorly in the upcoming election in late 2022. However, the situation may be different in 2024. The KMT has time to fix its problems while other factors suggest certain trends may operate to its advantage.
