Meanwhile, the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) has called for an end to ideological labeling to mitigate the antagonism between the pan-green and pan-blue camps. The bigger the margin of victory, the more likely the pendulum effect. Whether the pendulum effect comes into play depends on how the DPP responds to its victories. Adopting narratives that reduce political polarization might limit the pendulum effect. As for the TPP, its call to cease political labeling might seem reasonable, but it needs to be coupled with action.
