Under Huang Kuo-chang's leadership, the People's Party closely aligned itself with the Kuomintang's empowerment bill, leading to criticism of being a 'KMT affiliate,' causing a significant drop in support and loss of 1.6 million followers. In response, Ko Wen-je aims to focus on the Budget Act as the next battleground, led by Huang Shan-shan, possibly aiming to marginalize Huang Kuo-chang and regain the party's autonomy. The failure of the parliamentary empowerment bill vote due to blue and white collaboration further complicated the party's stance. Ko Wen-je acknowledged the loss of support and is pushing for a clearer party stance through the Budget Act, seeking leadership and independence.

Following the introduction of the controversial 'Contempt for the Parliament' legislation in Taiwan's Legislative Yuan, supporters of the ruling party Democratic Progressive Party gathered outside the legislature on June 21 to protest. The opposition Kuomintang expressed the need for new laws to correct power imbalances between the legislature and the powerful presidential office, while the ruling DPP called it an unconstitutional power grab aimed at retaliating against the DPP government led by President Lai Ching-te. The bill aims to give the Legislative Yuan more powers to scrutinize and investigate the executive branch, including summoning government officials and private individuals, and potentially compelling them to submit sensitive documents to lawmakers. The clause enforcing 'contempt for the parliament behavior' has faced severe criticism from legal scholars, who argue it goes far beyond the norms of other democratic nations. The ongoing protests reflect deep political divides between DPP and KMT supporters, with concerns raised over the potential deadlock in parliament impacting President Lai Ching-te's ability to accomplish substantive work during his tenure.

There are worries about the quality of parliament members taking on roles such as supervisory positions and judges if this trend continues.
