“Epic Recall, Epic Win!” (大罷免,大成功) was almost an inescapable battle cry for the last few months in Taiwan. I think Yeh is even surprised Yeh made it, albeit with a slim margin. But JUST ON VIBES I thought thought the recalls would snipe at least three or four KMT legislators. The bars are exceedingly low due to stupid procedural reasons and the recall groups have been exceedingly motivated and organized, as seen by the fact that they successfully collected enough petitions to recall a total of 31 KMT legislators while no DPP legislators’ recall efforts came up with enough valid signatures at the petition stage. Exactly zero TPP legislators (although one mayor) is in the recall but everybody showed up passionately to be a good ally to the counter-recall efforts.
