“All of the parties could and did claim⟳ victories. The ruling KMT won the governorship and the mayorship of Kaohsiung. Naturally KMT leaders boasted of these wins. In particular, they noted that Kaohsiung had been a stronghold of the opposition Democratic Progressive Party. The DPP won the mayorship of Taipei. This was a major triumph. The NP's candidate was second in the Taipei mayoral context and the NP did well in the Taipei City Council race⟳. Taiwan's new political party thus seemed to be off to a good start⟳ in winning support⟳ at the ballot box. Finally, the cause of democracy won.”

“As a consequence, we do not have⟳ the rich democratic culture and organizing that should be happening year-round, from the way that we select⟳ town councils and mayorships across the state of New York.”
