The Taiwanism Party. "The Only Choice for Total Change" it says across the top. I judge them to be either some kind of Communist party, or else one of those fake pro-Taiwan parties that The Other Party has established to split the Taiwanese vote.

Concurrent with Tsai's excellent Piggies campaign, posters with piggies on them began to appear. This one is in Fengyuan. "Justice progresses when the little piggies set off" it says.

"Switching to a new one is the only way there will be a future" says the slogan.

"Without party colors, life will be even more beautiful" this candidate advertises. She appears to be an independent candidate, without Green/Blue color, in other words. Such ads appeal to the Taiwanese yearning for a way out of the Blue-Green divide.
