October Election Poster Pics

Another collection of campaign posters I spotted around Taiwan in September and October. This one here has an amusing pun on DPP Presidential candidate Tsai Ing-wen's name.

In Hsinchu town a KMT candidate proclaims "We love Taiwan!"

"This time, you have a an even better choice" the sign says. Above a KMT candidate mentions that construction-industrial state staple, road work.

A KMT candidate all in pink.

Ma, Wu and a local candidate peer down at a local city. I've noticed that President Ma is common on legislative election posters, unlike the previous two elections where his unpopular visage could scarcely be found. So I asked around, and one story I've heard is that the KMT is handing out more cash to legislative candidates who put Ma on their signs. Dunno if it is true.

Just outside Hengchun in Pingtung.

Kinda of a strange picture -- active on the one hand, but it looks like he is getting mad at someone, on the other.

Changhua candidates.

Outside Dulan in Taitung, a candidate promises to make Taitung his priority.

Another poster of the same candidate in downtown Taitung city.

Nice poses -- a DPP doctor looking trustworthy with a stethescope, a KMT candidate with a bike, not actually on it. Bikes seem less prevalent this time around -- the candidates don't seem to have decided which symbolic leisure and sports equipment will represent politicians this time around.

This candidate tries a track metaphor, which not only adds sport, but puts this candidate out in front of the race.

Another attempt to find a sport.

A sound truck adds color.

Ma and friends loom over an intersection.

Ma and even more friends totally dominate an intersection outside Jhuolan in Miaoli.

Radical t-shirt. Why?

DPP candidates near Hsinshe in Taichung. I don't particularly like the TAIWAN NEXT phrase itself, but the logo is eye-catching and energetic.

Wish there was better public data on whether and how DPP local candidates are riding Tsai's coattails.

Tsai and Su together at last.

"Realizing justice, going forth into the world". I think.

"For the next generation.... blah blah blah."

The candidate's name is the character meaning car, so the sign puns: "A good car is on the road!"

Candidates seem younger this time around.

Nice pic.

Another Changhua candidate.

A positive, traditional note.

Dom and candidate pose.

Decide the future, now!
