If you want to read into the details of last weekend's failed recall election aimed at #FreddyLim in #Taipei and the by-election held in #Taichung for one seat in #Taiwan's Legislative Yuan, make sure to visit the FrozenGarlic blog.
Funny how the #KMT is blaming the #DPP of power #politics while this former authoritarian ruling party has mainly been attacking politicians of smaller parties with its recall drives.
Taiwan's #democracy needs more parties and more choice!

Although more voters in #Taipei's fifth electoral district voted in favour of the recall, voter #turnout was too low for the recall to succeed at 41.93 percents.
So #FreddyLim did not win this fight, but neither did the #KMT in their bid to oust him. Read more details on this #recall vote as a unique way in #FarEast to hold legislator accountable to their voters.
#Taiwan shows that #democracy can indeed work in Asia - much to the dislike of the CCP!

Great news from #Taiwan: Independent legislator #FreddyLim has survived a #recall vote in #Taipei that had been set up by the #KMT as a form of retaliation for the successful recall of #HanKuoYo in #Kaohsiung.
Apart from being a co-founder of the #NewPowerParty, Lim is well-known for being a #humanrights activist and the lead singer of the metal band #Chthonic. #democracy #FarEast

I fully agree with #FreddyLim on #TedrosGhebreyesus and his attacks against #Taiwan, claiming that it's all about #racism. Ignoring Taiwan's existence and calling it «Taipei and environs» was bad enough already, #Aylward hanging up on a reporter from #HongKong as his mouth seems unfit to say the T-word was the next step and now Tedros goes full tilt with his accusations. Just focus on the bloody job you can't do anyway due to your pro-#Beijing bias, you muppet! #StandupforTaiwan #Covid19
