Hong Kong China Review News reported that Taiwan media released a poll on the satisfaction of Taiwanese politicians. The Chinese Kuomintang’s New Taipei Mayor Hou Youyi and Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan were the only two leaders of the blue camp to enter the top ten and were named the first brother and first sister of the blue camp. It is worth noting that the two have similar governance styles. They both keep a distance from the Kuomintang, play down the party color, and do not touch cross-strait issues. Although this behavior has been criticized by the party as a "lone bird", the current situation seems to show that they are alienated from the party to protect themselves. , Also exposed the bleak warning signs of the Kuomintang.
The "TVBS" poll center released a survey on the voice of politicians in Taiwan. New Taipei Mayor Hou Youyi ranked first with 73% satisfaction, Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan ranked seventh, and the remaining top ten were mostly DPP politicians and the KMT Kuijiang Qichen respectfully accompanies the last seat.
What is interesting is that compared to Hou Youyi, who has always been a winner in the polls, Lu Xiuyan is behind. Lu was at the bottom of the polls and was made a big fuss by the DPP city councillors. Looking into the reasons for the rise in Lu's volume, in addition to continuing to grasp the issue of "air pollution control" and gaining public approval, the change in governance style is also an influencing factor.
After the Kuomintang’s defeat in 2020, Lu Xiuyan began to play down the party color and reduce the political nature. For all issues such as Kuomintang reform, party affairs and personnel affairs, and Cai administration’s "government affairs", as long as they have nothing to do with Taichung's municipal administration, he never expressed his opinion or responded, showing his focus on municipal administration. The courage is also reflected in recent satisfaction polls and good results in the online voice survey rankings.
And with this style, Hou Youyi can be regarded as the forerunner of the leader of the blue camp. After he took office, he was separated from the KMT, refused to serve as a member of the Central Standing Committee, and even had an ambiguous attitude on many party issues. I was recently asked by the media whether to attend the party’s "full congress" in September? He is also unwilling to respond positively, showing a typical "Hou style route."
Hou Youyi’s “political lone bird” style was questioned by Deep Blue’s supporters as “blue skin and green bones”. However, from the polls, Hou’s lone bird route is indeed useful. Leap to the "Sister Lanying" and endorse this political line.
However, when the blue camp politicians must keep a distance from the party in order to protect themselves wisely, it also means that the KMT’s brand is dim. This is undoubtedly a major warning sign for the future development of the blue camp. The leader of the Kuomintang, Jiang Qichen, was at the bottom of this poll. How to reverse the dilemma in the future, refurbish the Kuomintang’s signature, and test the leadership of the Party Central Committee.
