TAIPEI — In a stunning turn of events, Taiwan’s opposition parties are poised to defeat a high-profile recall bid, dealing a devastating blow to President Lai’s “Do Stuff, Maybe?” agenda and leaving political commentators with nothing to speculate about except next weekend’s weather.
Sources say the recall effort, originally launched by citizens who mistook it for an online Kickstarter campaign, quickly ballooned into a national pastime, with everyone from taxi drivers to stray cats giving their expert opinions on constitutional procedure. “I had no idea what I was signing,” confessed one voter. “I just wanted a free pen.”
The opposition, sensing an opportunity to practice their victory speeches, rallied their supporters with the moving slogan, “Why Change When We Can Complain?” The campaign reportedly resonated with millions who believe Taiwan works best with lots of bickering and absolutely no follow-through.
President Lai’s administration responded by unveiling bold new proposals, including the now-infamous “Promise to Promise to Do Things” Act, which has yet to pass past the press conference stage. Insiders say Lai’s agenda is now being kept at the back of a very long administrative queue behind requests to update the office Wi-Fi.
Political analysts have declared the recall’s (likely) defeat a “major setback for anyone who wanted to see actual policy,” and an “enormous win for those who just wanted to keep arguing on TV talk shows.” Rumors are circulating that Lai’s next move will be to propose a bill officially recognizing “Perpetual Gridlock” as Taiwan’s national hobby.
Meanwhile, the opposition is already celebrating with their second-favorite activity: blaming each other for winning.
Stay tuned for continuing coverage of Taiwan’s political plot twists—or at the very least, our review of the latest bubble tea flavor.
