Dec. 1 elections: Vote to shape political landscape

PARTY STRUGGLE Polls have the DPP and KMT neck and neck. A coalition of either with the expected third-place PFP could determine where power will lie

By Crystal Hsu  /  STAFF REPORTER

The party, comprised mostly of mainland Chinese, has lost its unique appeal now that the KMT has re-embraced the pro-unification line and revoked the membership of Lee, the unificationists' bete noire.

Some party heavyweights have signaled a desire to rejoin the KMT if the tiny party fails to meet the 5 percent test.
