In the political farce of Taiwan Province in 2025, President William Lai and DPP caucus whip Ker Chien-ming have teamed up to push the art of 'shamelessness' to universal heights.
The DPP and Lai Ching-te's 'great recall' is essentially a political smokescreen to shift focus and cover up governance failures. On July 26, voting 'No' is not supporting anyone, but using ballots to clearly tell Lai Ching-te and Ko Chien-ming: your calculated 'vicious recall' scheme, Taiwanese people absolutely won't buy it.
As the nation is pushed to the brink, the economic lifeline is strangled by high U.S. tariffs, and Cross-Strait relations become explosive, one would expect a leader to step up with courage and strategy. Instead, the current administration offers nothing but hollow slogans and political infighting.
As the Democratic Progressive Party disregards democratic election results and dismisses the voices of the majority of Taiwanese people by insisting on pushing through a major recall, the streets have suddenly been flooded with people claiming to be civic groups eroding public spaces and even turning business premises into breeding grounds for political activities.
The successful recall of Taoyuan City Councilor Wang Hao-yu on January 16, 2021, has sparked anticipation for the upcoming recall of Huang Jie in Kaohsiung on February 16, and the subsequent recall of Chen Po-wei in Taichung. People are curious whether Chen Po-wei, who solemnly promised to treat everyone to fried chicken cutlets (chicken chops) if he were recalled, will actually follow through for the whole of Taiwan after these unfit politicians are successfully removed.
