The parliament reform bill was passed in the Legislative Yuan, but the Executive Yuan raised an objection which the President approved, extending the battle over the reform. The DPP, KMT, and other parties are mobilizing across Taiwan, while the People First Party suggests hosting 3 TV debates. Ko Chien-Ming, DPP caucus leader, criticized the lack of proper negotiations in the Legislative Yuan committees and urged the People First Party to explain why they have been blocking discussions all along. The bill has sparked a cross-party showdown, with the Executive Yuan raising 7 solid reasons for the objection. The process involves discussions followed by a vote likely to take place on the 18th, with TV debates suggested as a replacement for public speeches.
