Liu Yanting's view: Iran war collides with Israel's election—Netanyahu falls short of a majority; will Israel see a change of government?
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
Turnout in Israel's election on Oct. 27, 2026, hit a record high. Exit polls showed the Netanyahu bloc and the Eisenkot bloc locked in a close race, with neither reaching the 61-seat threshold. The results reflect Israeli society's divided views on Netanyahu's performance in the war, leaving prospects for forming a government uncertain, with small Arab parties potentially playing a key role.
Facts
Turnout in Israel's election on Oct. 27, 2026, reached 77.7%.
A Channel 12 exit poll showed Netanyahu's governing coalition projected to win 52 seats and the Eisenkot opposition bloc 49 seats.
Exit polls by the public broadcaster Kan 11 and Channel 13 showed each of the 2 major blocs projected to win 51 seats.
The Polymarket prediction market showed Netanyahu more likely than Eisenkot to become the next prime minister.
A party needs to cross the 61-seat threshold to ensure success in forming a government in Israel's election; no one currently has a majority.

Lin Teng-yao's view: Constitutional amendments should realize popular sovereignty, responsible government and the people's right to happiness—from majority rule and government reform to good administration and protection of emerging human rights
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
Lin Teng-yao, a retired professor of law at Tunghai University, wrote that President Lai Ching-te had failed to honor his promise to initiate a National Conference on Constitutional Reform and called for a comprehensive draft amendment. The article advocates popular sovereignty as the core principle and proposes 7 measures to advance constitutional reform, including lowering the threshold for constitutional amendments, implementing majority rule, distributing the power to nominate officials and guaranteeing good administration.
Facts
President Lai Ching-te publicly pledged in June 2019 to immediately convene a "National Conference on Constitutional Reform" after being elected, but more than 2 years into his term, he has yet to fulfill the promise.
A 2022 constitutional amendment proposal to lower the voting age to 18 failed after receiving 52.96% of valid votes, short of the required half of all eligible voters.
The author argues that presidential elections should adopt a 2-round voting system: if no candidate wins a majority in the first round, the 2 leading tickets should compete in a runoff.
The author proposes that the 15 grand justices be nominated in equal numbers by the president, the Legislative Yuan and an independent judicial nomination mechanism, with appointments subject to Legislative Yuan approval.
The author argues that the right to good administration should be enshrined in the Constitution, with reference to Article 41 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.
Chang Wen-chi's view: Taipei's "City on a Hill" apes the wrong example; the "ocean current" is no blessing for Taiwan
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
Chang Wen-chi criticized Lai Ching-te's 2026 Double Ten National Day address, saying its imitation of America's "City on a Hill" was a case of inferior imitation, and arguing that the United States has declined due to financialization and social division. The article describes China's system as a successful form of indirect democracy and warns that if extreme pro-independence forces, including Taipei mayoral candidate Puma Shen, win, it would trigger cross-strait conflict and raise the risk of forced unification by military means.
Facts
The full text of Lai Ching-te's 2026 Double Ten National Day address was seen as almost a mock exercise in imitating a US president's speech, particularly in comparing Taiwan to a "City on a Hill."
The "City on a Hill" metaphor originates in the New Testament. In 1630, John Winthrop applied it to the Puritan colony, and it was later used by US presidents including Reagan, Kennedy and Obama.
Reagan's economic liberalization policies were said to have accelerated the transformation of the United States into a country reliant on financial speculation and controlled by financial oligarchs, the fundamental cause of its rapid decline.
Taiwan's per capita GDP in 2026 was about US$43,951, with annual growth of 10.7%, ranking 38th globally and above Japan's US$32,487.
Taipei mayoral candidate Puma Shen is seen as a threat to cross-strait peace if elected, due to his extreme pro-independence stance, ties to anti-China groups in the United States and "ocean current" background.
Liu Chin-tsai's view: From a sure win to an impossible mission? The strengths, weaknesses, organization and policy debate in the blue and green camps' Changhua County magistrate election campaigns
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
The 2026 Changhua County magistrate election shows a contrast between the blue and green camps, with Kuomintang candidate Wei Ping-zheng trailing Democratic Progressive Party candidate Chen Su-yue in the polls. Wang Hui-mei's failure to campaign explicitly for him and the detention of council speaker Hsieh Tien-lin have put pressure on the Kuomintang to unite its organization. The outcome will depend on public trust in governance and the ability to mobilize the organization.
Facts
A poll for the 2026 Changhua County magistrate election showed Chen Su-yue with 32% support and Wei Ping-zheng with 16%.
Incumbent county magistrate Wang Hui-mei's approval rating for her administration was about 58% in October.
Changhua County Council Speaker Hsieh Tien-lin and his father, Hsieh Hsin-lung, were detained and barred from seeing visitors in connection with a case involving a council dinner.
In the 2024 presidential election, the DPP received 38.11% of the vote in Changhua County, while the KMT received 32.93%.

A public piano at Tainan's new train station went viral after Rotary Club president Kuo Tai-lin's impromptu performance in a short video drew more than 10 million views in 10 days. The viral phenomenon combined social media algorithms with an amateur performance, drawing widespread online attention and media coverage.
Facts
In the ten days since the public piano at Tainan's new railway station was installed on Oct. 17, media coverage and social media posts have generated a conservatively estimated total of more than ten million views.
The Threads platform contributed more than half of the core traffic in this viral surge.
The spark that set off the traffic surge was a short video of Dr. Kuo Tai-lin, president of 台南扶輪社, spontaneously singing an Italian song on Oct. 17.
The piano arranged by Dr. Kuo Tai-lin was a used instrument from the family of former Tainan Police Department chief Wang Wen-chung, and a 3-year maintenance contract was signed.
Opinion: Myths and Paradoxes in Polls Before the Taipei Mayoral Election
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
A cultural historian writing in criticized unusual polling in the Taipei mayoral race, claiming that Chiang Wan-an's 17% plunge in the polls was a fabricated “ocean current” engineered by the Democratic Progressive Party to destroy his political image and influence the 2028 election. The writer also exposed what they described as a staged pity play by the opposing camp and called for legislation to regulate polling and ensure fair elections.
Facts
In polls taken a month before voting in the nine-in-one local elections, incumbent Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an, who is seeking re-election, went from a commanding lead to trailing Shen Po-yang, with his poll numbers falling 17% in a short period.
The article alleges that the incident in which Shen Po-yang encountered an elderly woman kneeling to make a plea during a visit to a temple on Shezi Island was staged behind the scenes.
Former President Chen Shui-bian, embroiled in corruption and money-laundering controversies and currently receiving medical parole, publicly endorsed Shen Po-yang.
The author argues that the so-called “ocean current” phenomenon is fabricated by certain people using cultivated public images to create an illusory impression, which is then forcefully planted and glamorized by the media.

Chang Li-chuan's View: From Public Funding to Private Investment—How Can Next-Generation Energy Become Financeable?
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
Drawing on perspectives from finance and the energy industry, Chang Li-chuan analyzes financing bottlenecks for Taiwan's new energy sector, pointing to structural mismatches in capital. Using solar and offshore wind projects as examples, Chang proposes phased capital allocation and government leverage mechanisms.
Facts
The real bottleneck has never been “insufficient total funding,” but rather the structural mismatch between risk, returns and capital requirements.
The Fengwei No. 1 wind farm completed its financing in March 2025, raising about NT$103 billion with participation from 27 international and local banks.
The financial sector must establish a capital handoff mechanism that matches technological and commercial maturity, allocating capital in phases.
The government should use public funds to support technology validation and make risk information publicly available, reducing information asymmetry in the market.

Opinion: Considering the Feasibility of Institutionalizing a Legislative Resignation After Local Elections
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
This article analyzes the legality and feasibility of requiring sitting legislators to resign when running in local elections, noting that running for office while holding a seat is constitutionally protected and that legislation mandating resignation could be unconstitutional. The author argues that a post-election “resignation in response to public opinion” and a mechanism for the legislature to dissolve itself could address partisan conflict and the disconnect from public opinion caused by presidential elections being held alongside legislative elections.
Facts

The purge ends—and Mao Zedong worship begins, with nauseating sycophancy: Excerpt from 《紅曦照耀中國》 (4)
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
This excerpt from a work by Frank Dikötter reveals how Mao Zedong used the Rectification Movement and the dissolution of the Communist International by the Soviet Union to build a cult of personality and purge rivals. The movement fabricated numerous cases of injustice to consolidate his power, ultimately adding “Mao Zedong Thought” to the party constitution and establishing his absolute leadership.
Facts
When the Rectification Movement ended in 1944, about 1萬5000 “enemy agents” and “spies” had been exposed. It was later determined that about 90% had been falsely accused.
When Mao Zedong launched the Rectification Movement in 1942, he promoted the “Sinicization of Marxism.” In practice, this was intended to make people study Mao's writings seriously rather than the original works of Marx and Lenin.
The term “Mao Zedong Thought” was coined by Wang Jiaxiang and, after July 1943, became required study for the entire party.
Zhou Enlai wrote that Comrade Mao Zedong's direction was the direction of the Chinese Communist Party, and his line was the line of China's Bolsheviks.
When the Chinese Communist Party's Seventh National Congress convened in April 1945, “Mao Zedong Thought” was added to the party constitution.
