A Better World (a wish I hope will happen in Taiwan, someday)

As we consider this country a democratic one. How mature it is has been a doubt on my mind for a long time. Can outcome of democracy procedure reflect the real needs? Can the politicians stand out for every one (or most) living on this island? Can we trust what we see?

There were politicians won campaigns in ridiculous ways and there will be. Believe or not, it has been the way for a long time. And there is no foreseeable future I believe this situation will vanish some day. This is why I do not vote. Honestly I voted a presidential campaign once to a candidate I think he is a very kind person with good manner. And I think he could have a problem passing the lower vote count limit. I never voted with this as the only exception.

Transparency. The opacity of performance of politicians is not far from good enough. The campaign is more like a battle of marketing: the point is not your product, but how you sell it. So it is not uncommon that good candidates are ruled out simply because they do not know have enough money marketing themselves.

What I want is a website to completely document every politician. What they have promised in which campaign and what they did in the end. Everyone can criticize and score politicians. A big public project done can be linked to every politician involved, and contribution can be the dividend and distributed to each one.

In this way, when the political spectrum is built against every politician. I believe more people will care bout which politician is more suitable for a certain position than that his political tendency. And maybe, a better world.
