The New Taipei mayoral election is heating up. Talking about the tug-of-war in New Taipei on May 28, KMT candidate Li Sichuan said frankly in an exclusive interview with a political commentary program on the 28th that "I never felt that the election was easy from beginning to end." After the general recall, the blue and green parties returned to their respective teams, and the supporters fell into a "spiral of silence". They swept the streets to deliver carrots but dared not take photos. The real polls are in the market. In order to break the deadlock, 5 to 6 large-scale campaigns will be held before the election to create a sense of crisis and strive for all supporters to go out to vote on November 28.
On the 28th, Li Sichuan accepted an exclusive interview with host Li Peixuan and famous speaker Guo Zhengliang on the online political commentary program "Green Table". Guo Zhengliang asked, people who know the municipal government well will think that the election of Taipei Mayor Jiang Wanan and Li Sichuan will be quite easy, but why did the current five-five wave situation occur?
Li Sichuan responded that this election was different from the past, "I have been the secretary-general of the party, and I never felt that it was an easy election for the two of us from beginning to end." Since running for election on March 10, several polls have found that two phenomena have formed after the general recall. The first is that after the general recall, "blue returns to blue, and green returns to green". The basic positions of both parties have returned. New Taipei is originally a five-to-five wave showdown. Don't think that you will have many supporters. For example, in Banqiao, each other will win 2%. As for the middle voters and some People's Party supporters, the middle voters will definitely not express their stance until later.
Li Sichuan went on to say that the second phenomenon was that after the general recall of the legislators north of Taichung, the blue camp fell into silence, leading to polls showing that the green camp had a high rate of taking a stance, while the remaining 30 to 40% did not take a stance. He bluntly said that the current polls can only be used as a reference, and the real polls are in the market. For example, when he goes to the market, he sometimes receives 30 or 40 radishes, but the person who delivers the radishes does not dare to take a photo, and only dares to whisper, "You can't lose, you must win." This is the Blue Army's spiral of silence. He even bluntly said that "the DPP is the best at elections," and he has never felt that the election is easy.
Talking about the winning strategy in the countdown, Li Sichuan said that the only way is to urge supporters to come out and vote. Green camp supporters must come out to vote come rain or shine; the Blues used to feel like they were worthy of their vote when they won a lot, and felt it was useless to vote when they lost a lot. But now the Blues have a sense of crisis in the market, and everyone is saying they can't lose, so they must encourage their willingness to vote.
Li Sichuan emphasized that the method of urging votes is to mobilize and build momentum to raise the temperature and allow the Blue Army to dare to stand up and express their stance, and the polls will be different. Li Peixuan asked how to replace the hidden voice of the market with votes? Li Sichuan responded that everyone must have a sense of crisis, and the key is to show that voting is the key through building momentum.
As for the number of large-scale campaigns in the future, Li Sichuan said that there are currently 5 to 6 scheduled games, including the Blue Army's larger Yonghe, Zhonghe, and Xindian, as well as the green camp's advantageous Tushu Sanying, Xinzhuang, Sanzhong and other medium-sized campaigns. The frequency will be maintained at about one to two games a week, and they will strive to win.
