DPP Leadership

As a result of the disastrous (from the DPP's point of view) local elections in Taiwan, DPP Chairperson Su Tseng-chang resigned, and Vice President Annette Lu is taking over his position. This whole resignation thing that is so prevalent among Taiwanese leadership is silly. At times like this, where the person is not directly at fault, it makes more sense to stay on and make the necessary changes and improve the situation. This constant leadership change doesn't do anyone any good.

I don't like Lu that much anyway. Though she played an important role in the democratic movements and women's movements in Taiwan, she has done nothing since becoming VP in 2000. She says stupid things on the spot and never apologizes for them. The one that angers me the most is saying that Taiwanese Aboriginals should move to Central America. Huh?

I really hope she doesn't run for the presidency in 2008. I don't think anyone in Taiwan is qualified to be president anyway. How sad. Taiwan should just get Koizumi and Bush to be co-presidents and have a big love fest. Psh.
