KMT-PFP campaign machine misfiring - TW

[dArKeR]

The alliance between the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) and the People First Party (PFP), now a year old, is united more in what they are against than what they are for.

While unequivocal in criticizing President Chen Shui-bian (???), the two parties have failed to coordinate their actions and develop an internal consensus on key policies.

"The alliance still needs to work on coordination and rapport within its campaign team," said Chiu Hei-yuan (???), political observer and sociology professor at National Taiwan University.

After the Lunar New Year, Taipei Mayor Ma Ying-jeou (???), who also serves as the campaign manager of the alliance's national campaign headquarters, called for televised debates on the legality of the referendum that Chen wants to hold on March 20, the day of the presidential election.
