New Party (Taiwan)
The New Party (NP) (; Hakka: ''Sîn Tóng''), formerly the Chinese New Party (CNP), is a Chinese nationalist political party in the Republic of China (Taiwan). History The New Party was formed on 22 August 1993 out of a split from the then-ruling Kuomintang (KMT) by members of the New Kuomintang Alliance. Members of the Alliance had accused KMT Chairman Lee Teng-hui of autocratic tendencies and moving the party away from Chinese unification. Co-founders of the New Party included Chen Kuei-miao. Originally, the party wanted to keep the name of the faction, but was prevented from doing so due to the similarity of names. The name "New Party" was seemingly inspired by the contemporary electoral success of the Japan New Party ("Nihon Shintō"; see Politics of Japan). At this time, the party favored direct presidential elections, the ideals of Sun Yat-sen, voluntary service instead of military service, and "equal protection of human rights." The party also called for direct ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
