The Annoying Campaign

     The campaign in Taiwan is always pointless and noisy which leads many people into the indifference and dislike of the politic. A campaign should deliver the policy of a candidate to the people; nevertheless what the voters got is only racial slur, gossip, rumor, and rowdy campaign activities.  It doesn't benefit anyone, but it really disturbs our life. The candidates and voters must be responsible for it.


     Frankly, part of the problem must blame to the voters who treat his party as belief. Too many Taiwanese are too emotional in voting. The voters do not choose the candidates by their plan or the things they have done, but  by the party the candidates belongs; thus, the candidates sort to racial issues and anything they could use to assault people in the opposite party. Finally, it is becoming more and more ridiculous that Taiwan is separated by pan-blue and pan-green concept. People vote according to the party they support, so the campaigns become garbage activities. 

     The nomination of unqualified candidates by irresponsible parties leads to worse campaign culture. When the candidates shout on the streets, they always claim they can provide you a better future or attacks others. Nevertheless, they never tell people - they don't have the ability - what their proposal are and how they can archive it. They occupy the street, make noise, and ask for the votes, but nobody gets the idea why he or she should choose them. They just waste society resources and disturb citizens. These unqualified candidates will bring more nightmares when they are elected.


      The bad campaign culture alerts that both people and politicians should change their attitudes toward politic immediately. Citizens have to think more about what the candidates want to do, and how they can archive it, for it will drive the politicians to think how to serve people and abandon the dirty ways to win votes. The parties need to recommend their candidates carefully by capability and personality. They can't benefit from the emotional extremity and get the support of people in the long term. I hope these changes come soon!
