Chen makes a pact with the devil

[dArKeR]

The meeting between President Chen Shui-bian (???) and People First Party (PFP) Chairman James Soong (???) finally took place. The question on everyone's mind -- whether any consensus could possibly be reached between the two -- has been answered in the affirmative.

Before the meeting, Soong had more to worry about, such as a potential backlash from PFP supporters. Many PFP supporters are prone to lashing out irrationally. In contrast, the pan-green supporters in general are more sympathetic about Chen's need to work with the PFP to gain a legislative majority. Of course, this does not mean they can forgive Chen for selling out pan-green ideals.

Moreover, the PFP's survival depends almost entirely on Soong. If he is discredited by the PFP's supporters, the party is finished. For Soong personally, it would be the end of his political career. On the other hand, Chen is already serving his second term as president. After he steps down, the DPP will have to decide whether to continue his legacy. In other words, even if the pan-green camp's supporters reject the cooperation with the PFP, the DPP does not necessarily have to take the rap.
