It's a bit over the top to reject the name "Pirate Party." Here in Australia there is even a "Sex Party". There was also once a "Party! Party! Party!"
Thanks for linking to me, Michael. I look forward to your 2-28 coverage.
Wouldn't a more democratic position on Kinmen and Matsu be that the permanent residents get to vote in a referendum over whether they stay with Taiwan or return to China (in the event that Taiwan becomes independent)?

That would work too.

I should add that it's my opinion the best the population will be able to do is choose whether to go to Taiwan or remain on the islands. I don't think there is any possible way to dispute who they belong to under international law. But I'd be willing to listen to a good argument :)

Political parties take positions which are not in accordance with international law all the time. I was thinking more in terms of what would be best for the DPP ideologically, not what would be most practical if Taiwanese independence really happened.
