民進黨台北市長參選人沈伯洋競選總部成立大會4日舉行,主辦單位宣布現場超過12萬人。印太戰略智庫執行長、日本資深媒體人矢板明夫認為,相較於實際到場人數,這場活動更值得觀察的關鍵在於「破圈」;他也指出「洋流」正持續擴大,或許有機會為台灣政治文化帶來升級。
矢板明夫在臉書粉專「矢板明夫俱樂部」發布貼文稱,選舉造勢活動的人數,各陣營往往都有自己的計算方式,或許有人不認同主辦單位公布的數字,但他認為,真正值得關注的並非究竟來了多少人,而是「破圈」二字。

他表示,活動地點就在民進黨中央黨部旁的北平東路,卻舉辦了一場「不像傳統民進黨造勢」的競選總部成立大會。台上推薦人除了民進黨政治人物外,也包括前親民黨發言人吳崑玉、紀錄片導演楊力州,以及曾任台北市政府都市發展局局長的建築師林洲民,台下甚至出現知名主持人蔡康永。
矢板明夫指出,現場人群也有所不同,許多年輕人自行製作「船員證」、穿上海洋風服裝,並創造自己的符號。並非由政黨事先準備好旗幟、口號,再動員支持者到場,而是參加者自己加入、自己創作、自己傳播,將原本不在同一個圈子的人吸引過來。
他認為,這正是「洋流」最特別之處,對民進黨而言尤其重要。民進黨從來不缺基本盤,也不缺組織動員能力,真正的難題一直是如何讓那些不認為自己是民進黨支持者的人,也願意走進這個場子。
矢板明夫並以蔡英文為例指出,蔡英文過去最重要的政治能力之一,就是突破民進黨原有的邊界。2020年總統大選時,蔡英文在台北市獲得53.65%的選票,證明所謂「台北藍大於綠」並非不可改變的鐵律。
他表示,因此這場選舉真正的關鍵,在於能否讓更多「圈外」的人願意加入。
談到「洋流」名稱,矢板明夫認為取得很好,意義並非「把原來的綠色染得更深」,而是讓不同顏色、不同方向的水開始匯聚,往同一個方向流。
矢板明夫最後表示,這股「洋流」正在繼續擴大,即將改變的可能不只是一場台北市長選舉,「或許是整個台灣政治文化的升級」。

Shen Boyang raised eight questions to challenge Jiang Wanan's understanding of drug policy. Huang Diying believed that Jiang Wanan's inability to answer showed that he was incompetent in the administration and did not dare to debate.
