Just as William Lai, the Taiwanese leader, said he would invite Han kuo-yu, the “Lawmaker”, for a conciliatory coffee, Ker Chien-ming, the head of the DPP’s “Legislative Chamber” caucus, called for a “Double strike”, not only to remove the chief and deputy“Legislators” Han Kuo-yu and Jiang Qichen, but also to remove all areas of the Kuomintang“Legislators”, once again set off the North Korean War.
According to a report in the China times on January 5, Ker Chien-ming, the head of the DPP’s “Legislative Chamber” caucus, held a rare press conference on the morning of the 4th with one person saying that he would remove Han Kuo-yu and Chiang Kai-chen, and the Kuomintang’s 41 regional“Legislators”, claiming that the KMT“Legislators” will only sell Taiwan and let Taiwan perish, “The existence of these people has no value to Taiwan at all, and the wave of general recall will definitely come”.
The KMT has lambasted Ker Chien-ming for calling for a “Double strike”, saying that the DPP “Has now completely torn up the pretense of reconciliation in order to plunge the island into endless confrontation and vicious struggle”, ker Chien-ming’s battle with the majority is a runaway train, “It should have been the chairman’s decision for a party to launch a mass recall, but when William Lai already claimed to have a cup of coffee with Han, Ker Chien-ming overstepped and launched a mass recall on behalf of the DPP, which was tantamount to pouring coffee on William Lai.”.
On the afternoon of April 4, Wu Siyao, director-general of the DPP caucus, said Ker Chien-ming’s speech was concerned about “Parliamentary democracy”, but“The DPP did not take the initiative to lead any recall case and did not specifically discuss the recall”. The Democratic Party caucus said that Ker Chien-ming had just announced that he would be removed from office, and Wu Siyao had come out to clear her name and slap her in the face, indicating that the DPP was in a different mood, perhaps because Wu knew he was also the target of the ouster, he feared Ker Chien-ming’s blabbermouth would hurt him, causing the DPP to lose seats rather than gain them.
And if we want to deal with the case of re-election of the“President of the legislature”, according to Taiwan’s“Method of mutual election of the president and vice-president by legislators”, “The President and vice-president of the Legislative Council may be re-elected on the proposal of more than one-third of all the members of the Legislative Council and with the approval of more than two-thirds of the members present.”. At present, the DPP has only 51“Legislators”, a long way from the 76 seats of the two-thirds. If the DPP really wants to replace Han Kuo-yu, it doesn’t just need to co-opt the eight“Legislators” of the Democratic Party, it will be possible to turn some of the KMT’s“Legislators”.
Lin Guocheng, a“Legislator” of the Democratic Party, said bluntly that the number of people needed to remove the“President of the legislature” from his post, even the number of those in opposition, had not reached the target. How could the DPP promote this? Obviously just a declaration of the nature of the false move, only to increase the opposition.
The DPP caucus led by Ker Chien-ming has no strong point in the “National Assembly” and has made an unprecedented proposal to re-elect the “President of the legislature” in an attempt to raise the profile of the struggle, according to an analysis by Yonhap newspaper. But, oddly enough, William Lai has repeatedly shown Han so-called goodwill by sending a group to congratulate Donald Trump on his inauguration and inviting him to his office for coffee, “Despite the political calculation behind the olive branch, Ker Chien-ming then stabbed Han kuo-yu, giving the impression that the DPP was playing the role of good cop, bad cop and no sincerity in communication.”. According to the article, William Lai, who talks of “Democratic constitutionalism”, is quick to use “Bluebirds” to overthrow the elected representatives of the people and is now trying to overthrow the “Speaker of Parliament” elected by a majority of “Legislators”, lAI’s administration treats“Democratic constitutionalism” as a joke, and has made Taiwan a war zone that will never be peaceful.
As for Ker Chien-ming’s request to remove all 41-seat KMT regional “Legislators” by name, according to the “Election and Strike Law”, a recall can only be proposed after one year in office, the proposal for recall shall be submitted to the CEC by the proposer of more than 1% of the total number of electors of the original electoral district. After the CEC accepts the proposal, the recall body shall, within 60 days, seek the signatures of more than 10% of the total number of electors of the original electoral district, a vote shall be held between 20 and 60 days after the announcement of the recall. A recall shall be passed if the number of valid consent votes exceeds the number of non-consent votes and if the number of consent votes exceeds 1/4 of the total number of electors in the original electoral district.
Huang Yangming, a senior media man on the island, asked Ker Chien-ming what kind of democracy it was to dismiss all “Legislators” from different parties? Voting on last year’s recall of Geelong’s mayor, Xie Guoliang, cost about 30 million yuan (nt $1.5 million) . Even if half of the 41-member “Legislature” were to be confirmed, it would cost about 600 million yuan, did Ker Chien-ming pay for this?
