#Opinion by Su Yen-Tu | "We have seen polarization exacerbating in Taiwan. And the review time stipulated in the Referendum Act is too short. Therefore, the ill-intentioned rivalry between political parties is expected in the near future during a referendum campaign. Sooner or later, we will come to understand only good party politics can lead to good referendums and break the spell of vicious political partisanship. Of course, we cannot natively expect the standoff between the pan-green and pan-blue camps to end immediately. A positive and healthy competition between political parties behind a referendum campaign requires both supervision and support from civil society. We should expect ourselves to be sensible citizens who can tell right from wrong rather than cynical pessimists."

"在近年來台灣政治的極化發展益趨嚴峻、而《公民投票法》所設定的公民投票審議期間又過於短促的情況下，短期內會出現在公投程序中的，很可能還是那令人厭煩不已的政黨惡鬥歹戲。然而，我們終究必須體認到，唯有好的政黨政治，才有可能開創出好的公民投票政治，也才有可能打破那每況愈下的政黨惡性競爭。我們當然不能天真地冀望藍、綠政黨放下屠刀、立地成佛。一個在公民投票程序上正向、良性的政黨競爭，毋寧非常需要公民社會的強力監督與助成。面對如此艱難的民主挑戰，我們應該自許成為明辨是非的講理公民，而不是懷憂喪志的政治犬儒。"
