Yes, I believe in a blending of ideologies. And in Taiwan, I’m not unique. There are more non-partisan or independent cabinet ministers than ministers of any party in Taiwan. So, this is the norm. This is not just me being very weird. The way our Constitution is designed is the citizens directly elect the president, who appoints the premier, who assembles a cabinet. So, I am a double appointee, and my constituency is anyone with an email address, right? I don’t need a constituency in the formal democratic sense.
