My 1st vote to presidential election

Last Saturday, 22th Mar, 2008, was a big day in Taiwan-- the Presidential Election of Taiwan.
After 8 years ruling under the Democratic Progress Party, Taiwanese people are sick of the corruptive government.As we can see, there is a big gap of the vote btw these two candidates, Ma’s winning 2 million votes against Hsieh.
Actually not all the votes for KMT because they favored Ma, which means KMT does not completely satisfied those who vote for them. The truth is that the median voters are disappointed about the ruling party which is the DPP. Therefore, they choose the opposite team instead.
Frankly speaking, I have no special adverseness of Hsieh; on the contrary, his achievements in his official career in Kaohsiung were actually remarkably. It was because DPP's 8 years of governing extremely terrible, including wasting Taiwan's money on those stupid "cash-for-friendship games."
Through voting, Taiwanese request the previous ruling party to step down the political stage and make self-examination.I am not saying the new ruling party is much better than DPP, but like most of the other Taiwanese, we do not think the new president will be worse. All of us would like to give the new party a try, hoping Ma and Hsiao are leading us to an affluent and peaceful Taiwan.
