Lesson taken from Taiwan's latest elections

It could be a study case. The faction in power ran their election campaign on the sole ground of being pro China and anti China. They did nothing else, they waved the flag so to speak. The result is telling: they rallied a minority of people that sits in the usual bracket of the percentage of people for whom a liberal society works. They failed to gather beyond that base. The faction in power's main lever to be in power is to press forward an anti Chinese approach. Then a larger minority has reduced the effort of the faction in power, which means that a larger minority is in fact dissatisfied with the offer of the faction in power. But this larger minority conflates various other demands than hating on China. It must be noticed as this point that none of these minorities are in fact a majority. Which once again kills the liberal claim of governing through a majority. A liberal government works as such: the smaller minority that is constituted around a single motivation must bribe the larger minority (composed over multiple demands) to concede their consent. The larger minority that has not direct interest in hating on China wants goodies in order to trade their consent for. Of course, one basic of the education to a liberal system is to understand that not all promised goodies are going to be delivered.Taiwan's case is funny as one of the main goodies, if not the first goodies, demanded by the larger minority is to end the growing polarization of the country. Civility has been hurt much in Taiwan, people are unprepared so they suffer from it. It is funny because a liberal government can not deliver on ending polarization as it is a necessary product from liberalism. Very often, liberals try to blame tribalism for that state yet it has nothing to do with tribalism and all with liberalism. It is going to be very interesting to observe the evolution of the situation as people who keep demanding something that liberalism can not deliver are going to be perceived as a threat and as such, as something to be eliminated. Taiwan does not have the same means to tackle this recurring issue in liberal countries so Taiwan will have to design their own mechanics.
