| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The Democratic ProgressiveParty is rebuilding its support among Taiwan's voters after severe defeats in Taiwan's 2008 Legislative Yuan and presidential elections. The process began earlier this year with grassroots efforts such as rallies, a referendum drive, volunteerism and typhoon relief. The party is now developing new policies to attract independent, middle-class and working-class people hit hardest by the economic recession. The first results emerged on Sept. 26, when voters elected the DPP's Liu Chien-kuo to the Legislative Yuan from Yunlin County and defeated a Kuomintang-backed referendum on casinos in Penghu County. |
