The ad hoc National Assembly for referendum on constitutional amendments was elected on May 14, 2005. The Democratic Progressive Party¡] DPP¡^ and Kuomintang (KMT) altogether obtained 83 percent of the 300 seats, and both parties supported the package of constitutional amendment bills. This election had significant implications on party politics in Taiwan, as the country's citizens were given the opportunity for the first time to understand party policies and to vote directly for the parties they supported. The poll result also changed the positioning of political parties, as several small political parties participated in this campaign and acquired a few seats. However, the organization and candidate selection of some political parties are incomplete. The authorities should pass the necessary laws and regulations for future elections in order for Taiwanese party politics to proceed on the right track.
