After President Chen's meeting with James Soong, chairman of the People First Party (PFP), will the rapprochement between the ruling party (Democratic Progressive Party, DPP) and the PFP spawn an alliance of policy cooperation in the Legislative Yuan? Will this cooperation facilitate the formation of a coalition government in the future? Does this alliance exacerbate the Taiwan Solidarity Union (TSU) and dissociate the Pan Greens? What kind of party realignment will be achieved through the DPP-PFP alliance? How will the 2005 magistrate election be influenced by this alliance? Will the DPP and the PFP cooperate with each other in supporting a certain candidate both in Taipei and Kaohsiung City mayor election in 2006? Finally, will this cooperation continue until the 2008 presidential election? All these questions go unanswered for time being and will come under serious scrutiny in Taiwan's future political developments.
