"Although the opposition alliance garnered 115 votes in the vice speaker's election, it only got 109 in Tuesday's vote. The main reason is that the KMT and PFP lawmakers are bound to have areas of disagreement over different policies and bills. The maximum number of votes that the two parties can secure when reviewing policies and bills in the future will probably be 109," Hong said.
"Aboriginal lawmakers depend almost entirely on the government for funds and resources in their districts, so they are under considerable pressure to support the Executive Yuan," he added.
