  Democratic Progressive Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The DPP rejects the one China principle as the basis for talks with the People's Republic of China and advocates a Taiwanese identity which is separate from the identity of Mainland China.
The first years of the DPP as the ruling party gave rise to questions on whether the DPP as a Taiwanese nationalist party was adequately sensitive to the multiethnic and multinational character of Taiwanese society, which in addition to native Taiwanese and Chinese from the mainland, includes Hakka and other minorities.
The party is composed of a number of factions such as the New Tide faction, the Formosa faction, the Justice Alliance faction and Welfare State Alliance faction.

 Democratic Party (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Democratic Party is divided on the subject of same-sex marriage.
The Democratic Party, in its platform in 2000 and 2004, called for abortion to be "safe, legal and rare"—namely, keeping it legal by rejecting laws that allow governmental interference in abortion decisions, and reducing the number of abortions by promoting both knowledge of reproduction and contraception, and incentives for adoption.
Civil libertarians also often support the Democratic Party because its positions on such issues as civil rights and separation of church and state are more closely aligned to their own than the positions of the Republican Party, and because the Democrats' economic agenda may be more appealing to them than that of the Libertarian Party.

Many of the DPP's founding members, and a significant number of the party's current leadership, include family members and defense lawyers of political prisoners and dissidents who were willing to risk their freedom and their lives to transform Taiwan's political situation.
Under DPP pressure for constitutional reform, delegates elected in 1947 were finally forced to retire after decades of domination of the parliament.
Since landing itself in the spotlight as the ruling party, the DPP continues to search for comprehensive and coherent policies of national and international significance, rather than engaging in the dissent, protest, and general opposition politics of its founding years.

 Selection - From Opposition to Power: Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has thus come out of the wildness in the general elections in March 2000 to become the governing party, an unprecedented upset in Taiwan's democratic system that saw the overthrown of the Kuomintang's (KMT) more than 50-year-rule over the nation island.
How the DPP achieved the ultimate pursuit of the presidency, how the party is organized and how politics work in Taiwan is explained in a scholarly fashion by Shelley Rigger, an associate professor of East Asian Politics at Davidson College, who has lived in Taiwan for long periods.
Readers will learn that the development of political parties in Taiwan is not based on socio-economic classes, which is the case in some Western countries like Britain's Labor and Conservative parties which are vying for the interests of their own classes.

 Story, Print Version, UCLA International Institute
Chun-hsiung Chang, Secretary-General of the Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and former premier in the government of President Chen Shui-bian (October 2000 to January 2002), led a high-ranking delegation on a visit to UCLA February 10.
In the discussion period UCLA faculty questioned Chang on whether the Taiwanese nationalist DPP was adequately sensitive to the multiethnic and multinational character of Taiwanese society, which in addition to native Taiwanese, and Chinese from the mainland, includes Hakka and other minorities.
There was also interest in the long-term prospects for unification with China, given that the DPP has historically urged the recognition of Taiwan as a separate country and denies that it has shared a long common history with China, pointing to the extended periods of Japanese domination of the island.

 BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | Taiwan's Chen quits party post
The DPP and its ally failed to win a majority in Saturday's parliamentary elections, threatening to undermine Mr Chen's second term in office.
The DPP and its political ally - the Taiwan Solidarity Union - won 101 of the 225 seats in Taiwan's legislative Yuan, while the Kuomintang-led opposition won 114.
By downplaying his links with the DPP, of which he has been chairman since 2002, Mr Chen may be able to distance himself from its more radical fringe, which wants speedy and formal independence from China.

 Chen’s victory
Taiwanese voters were disgusted with the Nationalist Party’s use of connections to gangsters and money politics to cling to power and decided to hand the reins of government to Chen, a former mayor of Taipei who pledged to implement political reforms if elected president.
Taiwan began its democratization with the lifting of martial law and the end of Chiang Kai-shek’s one-party dictatorship and made considerable strides toward democracy under President Lee Teng-hui.
Chen’s political base is quite weak, and his Democratic Progressive Party is only the second-largest party in Taiwan’s parliament.
