The 2026 nine-in-one general election will be held on the 28th of next month. The elections in various counties and cities have become fierce. Senior media person Zhou Yukou analyzed the election situation on Facebook today (20th), reminding green camp politicians to be more realistic when it comes to human nature and votes.
As the "Ocean Current" trend initiated by the Taipei Mayoral Candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party Shen Boyang has spread, it has become the focus of attention from all walks of life. However, Zhou Yukou believes that "applause but not popularity" will indeed be a hidden worry for the Ocean Current. In addition, the Blue and White legislators recently passed the amendment to the "Elderly Welfare Act", making health insurance free for those over 65 years old, and even increased the universal cash payment to 20,000 yuan to save the election. Zhou Yukou observed that the purpose of Blue and White's move was to seduce the Executive Yuan into not countersigning. This issue will be used as a "missile" to bombard the Democratic Progressive Party candidates a week before the election.

We really can't be stubborn and have the consciousness to spend money in exchange for victory."
