Taiwan Obasang Political Equality Party (小民參政歐巴桑聯盟; abbr. 小歐盟) is a political party in Taiwan. It was founded in 2017. 90 percent of its members are women.[1]
Party policies
[edit]The party's core values are political equality, children's rights, a parent-child friendly society, environmental justice, gender equality, animal protection, defending Taiwan's sovereignty and labor rights.[1][2]
In terms of cross-strait relations and foreign affairs and national defense, the party believes that Taiwan has become a sovereign and independent country, and that it is necessary to strengthen national identity, promote Taiwan's local culture, and transmit Taiwan's values to the international community. In addition, it should establish a civil defense mechanism and implement national defense reform, national defense autonomy, strengthen Taiwan's self-defense force, prepare for war rather than avoiding it, prevent China's attempts to change the status quo, oppose China's threat of force, and enhance Taiwan-U.S. relations. In addition, in 2022, the entire party will sign a "pledge to defend Taiwan without surrender".[3][4]
Election results
[edit]The party first contested elections in the 2018 local elections with 21 candidates. They received over 80,000 votes and 70 percent of candidates had their deposits returned.[1]
In the 2024 legislative election the party received 128,613 votes for the party list, equal to 0.93 percent, making it the fifth most popular party.[5][6]
