homework about election

Today, when I looked at the news about the president election, I found out that most of the news is talking about the outcome of the election. However, there are some commentaries are about how Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) would have been beaten. Due to the media, it is the President Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁) that has to be blame. Because of his bad governance, people were disappointed about DPP and that’s why DPP lose both the legislators and the president elections.

I personally feel positive about this outcome, because DPP made Taiwan’s economy worse and worse. And I have to clarify that I’m not deep “blue” or “green.” I just think another transition of power probably would be good for Taiwan. According to the debates of the two candidates, I can feel the sincerity of candidate Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九), and I hope he will keep his word. I think Taiwan’s economy will be better than before, and the dealings between China and Taiwan will be more convenient in the future.

If candidate Frank Hsieh(謝長廷) won this competition, I think it won’t be good for Taiwan. I feel he is controlled by President Chen Shui-bian, so he won’t change much when he holds the reins of government. I think the people realized that, and they want Taiwan to be better. Therefore, they give candidate Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) a chance to change this bad situation. I hope he won’t belie the people’s expectation.
