Untitled[edit]

somebody needs to change the picture because it's not really the party logo. It says "TSU native club," like something from a fundraising party. Wareware 01:25, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

This is incorrect as the TSU most certainly does not position itself as a centrist party. Roadrunner 23:07, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Its liberal character is questionable, although it its part of the DPP's left-of-centre and Taiwan-oriented Pan-Green alliance. It positions itself as a centrist alternative to the DPP.

Confusion[edit]

"In the December 2002 city elections in Taipei and Kaohsiung, during which it fielded no candidates, the TSU suffered a defeat, winning no seats in the Taipei City council and won only two seats in the Kaohsiung City council."

If it fielded no candidates and won two seats, I'd say it had a pretty good election. I don't know what the intent of this sentence was, but the result is confusion.

Su Tseng-Chang[edit]

Isn't Shu Chin-Chiang's name really spelled, Su Tseng-Chang?

no, diferent person, different party--Jiang 04:37, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The party prided itself on being the first to include "Taiwan".[edit]

In what? It's name? The Taiwan Independence Party is older. Is something different meant or does the TIP not have Taiwan in it's proper Chinese name? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.156.174.162 (talk) 23:36, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

independence for tibet and xinjian[edit]

Does it support independence for tibet and xinjian etc?--Kaiyr (talk) 08:02, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Position on the political spectrum[edit]

Does this party have any associated economic ideology (i.e. socialism) that associates it with being on the far-left of the political spectrum, or is it just because of its outspoken pro-independence stance? If I recall correctly, around 2008 the party tried to rebrand into a centre-left party while dropping some of its hardline pro-independence rhetoric, but I'm unsure if that strategy is still in effect. HapHaxion _{(talk / contribs)} 20:20, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The TSU is economically more pro-labor and left-wing than the DPP, but ideologically it may not be far-left in the European political stand. But Taiwanese politics and European politics are different. They are very hard-line pro-independence parties, and since the 2010s they have become stronger again. In Taiwan, parties with strong independence tendencies tend to be in line with a more radical labor movement in the populistic trend against elitism.--삭은사과 (talk) 03:25, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is a centre-left party.Marxistfounder (talk) 09:32, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think this party is never a center-left. The TSU is strictly a left-wing party.--삭은사과 (talk) 14:31, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The political stance of this political party is known as right wing, extreme right wing, left wing, and extreme left wing. I personally think that it should be changed to a big tent, which is more appropriate.--MELT1917（talk） 2021年12月4日 (日) 10:00 (UTC)

Political position[edit]

TSU is generally evaluated as "left-wing." I think TSU is still a "leftist" party. Therefore, I don't think we should describe our political position as "Right-wing". It should be limited to footnotes.--Storm598 (talk) 06:50, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You used the word "our." Are you from TSU? Ernestnywang (talk) 16:59, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Judging from this user's other edits, I am quite certain it was just a grammatical mistake. CentreLeftRight ✉ 22:28, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
