| Mr. Huang Nian, a journalist, once said: "It is common times when the statesmen write history while the journalists take down news. However, it will be a unusual times when the statesmen only can make news while the journalists have to write history." During the recent ten years, various elections have been held in Taiwan. The problems of unification and independence and the conflicts between aboriginal Taiwanese and immigrant Taiwanese from mainland arising from the candidates in each election, have influenced the development of politics and economy, some times even making the tension relationship between Taiwan and the Mainland much worse. Especially when the media's commercial reporting seeks only the highest audience rating and readability, the election news of the statesmen brought to the people in Taiwan and in the Mainland are seditious, disputable, conflicting and violent. The negativeness maximization of democracy can be annotated with Mr. Huang's saying that it will be irrational times when the statesmen only can make up news and the journalists only can speculate news. The irrationality may result in the deepening of misunderstanding between people in Taiwan and in the Mainland, and the decision-makers' misjudge of actual situation which may evolve into military conflicts. However, in order to solve the problem of unification, people shall try to understand each other with rational air. The western democratic politics in Taiwan can be analyzed and explained via the analysis of the power losing course of Kuomintang in Taiwan, which is also the purpose of this thesis. After all, there will be no winner in the war except survivals. The research methods applied in this thesis:1. Historical MethodThe procedure of this method: the induction, comparative law and analogism are used to search historical data, to filter historical records and relics, and to find the truth and the pertinence so as to make conclusion. This method features with: 1) the researched affairs took place in the past, not at present; 2) the research data are records and relics of the past times; 3)it's only an indirect observing method as it is impossible for the author to personally observe the happened affairs in the past; 4) within certain extent, it can help us to learn about the past, to rebuild the past, to explain the current and to speculate on the future.2. The comparative law is applied to research the causality of certain social phenomena. The following shall be looked sharp: the reliability of data, the feasibility of comparison, the comparison basis and point, the selection of target, the prejudice or ideology. Thus the gap between research result and the truth will not be so large. The largest difficult of social science is explanation instead of discovery. In the first chapter, the author starts from the analysis of the root cause of the power lose of Kuomintang, gives the definition of western democracy and points out the reason why Taiwan inevitably embraces western democracy. However, it is just the western democracy, the root cause, that decides the inevitable result instead of accidental one that Kuomintang lost its power in Taiwan. But, why so soon? Why the result is so extremely cruel to Kuomintang? The answers lie in the followed Chapter Two, Three and Four:the first is the grow-up of anti-Kuomintang movement and the nonofficeholding dissertations of democratic party; the second is the dirty-money politics of the democratic party, local ingroups and the practice of bribery at elections; the third is the populism of Li Denghui, the three break-ups of Kuomintang and the influence of election system on election result.Finally, the author makes his conclusion in the last Chapter that: Conclusion One No party will be the "evergreen tree" on power stage within the western democratic system; Conclusion Two The party politics can not guard against corruption as its self-corruption; Conclusion Three The election system decides the breakup, development and limitation of the parties;Co...
