The candidate of Democratic Progressive Party was defeated in the historic 2008 presidential elections, and the rein of govern- ment was returned to the long-rtding Nationalist Party. The reasons for the Democratic Progressive＇s resounding defeat includes its tradi- tional oppesitional role in Taiwan Residents politics, its failure to deliver on its promises to reduce corruption as well as preserve economic well-being especially its constant policy of engaging in Taiwan independence.
