I was surprised to see a DPP councilor wearing his gang colors and uniform at the Mazu temple in Changhua, an area that normally represents KMT heavily.
I wonder if this is a nice way around vote buying?
Isn't this an over-sensitive reaction? German or Italian political parties with or without the word "christian" in their names organize pretty much the same kind of activities - church-related, of course.
I didn't criticize it so much as point out how religion and politics function together in taiwan. It should also be noted that the Christian Dem parties in Europe do not have millions dead and 50 years of authoritarianism in their past, and they are not trying to sell out their nations.
@Michael: They also don't have China threatening them with war, if they don't behave a certain way.
