Taiwan Green Party’s Election Logo is based on the Italian Green Party Logo, the two Chinese characters from left to right are “green” and “political party”
On the eve of the registration deadline for Taiwan’s national legislative elections , the Green Party Taiwan (Taiwan Greens) and the Raging Citizens Act Now alliance (RCAN) announced their joint list of nominees to vie for the 34 legislator-at-large seats. The nominees in order are CHEN Manli, CHANG Huishan, CHANG Honglin and WANG Fangping. With the organization of a third force already a hot topic, this new union is one option to break the stranglehold on the nation currently being experienced due to the incessant bickering between Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) and the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) on non-issues. Both parties, the KMT for 55 years and then the DPP for 8 years have shown themselves to experts at nothing other than colluding with business to fritter away the nation’s future.

Press Release – Coalition for Participatory Democracy
Freedom of Government Information: A Report Card
The ability of citizens to obtain complete, timely and accurate information on matters of national concern is a major measure of democracy. The government officials’ attitudes with regard to the “right to know” has traditionally been one of arrogance, top down, and keep the people uninformed. This tradition became so ingrained that most of our citizens take it for granted that they will have access to less than full, timely and accurate information unless they have some special privilege or connections. Without adequate information, the people can not participate and this leads to unsupervised government, inefficiency, waste and corruption.
Our Freedom of Government Information Act passed the legislature nearly two years ago and the government’s program to get all information to the public on line has been a major component of this program. Over the past ten years, the Research, Development and Evaluation Commission, in the promotion of “My E Government” has spent an estimated 67.8 billion New Taiwan Dollars. The point of this massive spending is supposedly to make access to government information more convenient and open. But what is the real situation? Are the operations of government more transparent? Do the people have better and more convenient access to complete and accurate information. Or are we still stuck in the days of a “black box” government?
