  Tangwai - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tangwai (黨外; pinyin: dăngwài; literally, "outside the party") movement was a political movement in the Republic of China on Taiwan in the mid-1970s and early 1980s.
Because the majority of seats in the Legislative Yuan were held by delegates elected in 1947, pending the retaking of the Mainland, the Tangwai movement had no possibility of seizing power, but they were able to use the legislature as a forum for debating the ruling Kuomintang.
The members of the Tangwai movement formed the Democratic Progressive Party in 1986.
