the new power party held a seminar on the rise and fall of the third power on the 21st, inviting all third power parties to attend. the taiwan people's party was represented by tsai bi-ru. regarding whether there will be a "blue-white coalition" in 2026, tsai bi-ru said that taiwan's political changes are too fast, and he cannot predict the 2026 "election" and cannot discuss so much.

wang wanyu, chairman of the new power party, said at the seminar that in the past, everyone had expectations for the third force, but also some disappointments, including the corruption case involving people's party chairman ko wen-je. tsai bi-ru said in an interview that chairman wang wanyu invited her to attend at the beginning of the month. the party votes of the third force have increased from 22% in 2016 to one-third in 2024. after many "general elections", the third force has value in existence.

the media asked whether the "little grass" (generally referring to the young supporters of the people's party) would return to the blue and green camps after the ko wen-je incident. tsai bi-ru believed that it was unlikely. the little grass would not express its position at this time. over the years, the political parties have changed since 2000. for voters of the third force, they would think that both the blue and green camps have been in power and are the same. the supporters of the third force would not return to the blue and green camps, but would be hidden voters.

regarding whether there will be a "blue-white alliance" in 2026, tsai bi-ru said that taiwan's political changes are too fast, and he cannot predict 2026, nor can he discuss so much. there are three situations in which the blue and white will cooperate in 2026: the development of chairman ko's case; the people's party used to be a one-man party, and whether it should move towards collective leadership and how it should lead; and whether the young people and supporters of the people's party can accept this situation.

tsai bi-ru admitted that the people's party has formed a crisis management team, and the party headquarters is maintained and operated by party workers. its greatest energy and asset is the eight seats of representatives, and she hopes that they can shine. next is the local party headquarters. can they take advantage of this time to see whether the local organizations can take root downwards and grow upwards?
