The partial codification of the British constitution has removed a mixture of predictability and flexibility without providing clarity in recompense
A “cult of personality” helped presidents like John F. Kennedy be effective. But it has some built-in problems.
Unlike the tycoons involved with accumulators, however, this group is not particularly embarrassed to be associated with the loss—quite the opposite. They want recompense, and have begun holding vigils outside of Bank of China Hong Kong, DBS, and Dah Sing Bank, three of the largest sellers. The political heat is growing on the banks and the local government.
Examining the Charisma Mandate
Unlike the tycoons involved with accumulators, however, this group is not particularly embarrassed to be associated with the loss—quite the opposite. They want recompense, and have begun holding vigils outside of Bank of China Hong Kong, DBS, and Dah Sing Bank, three of the largest sellers. The political heat is growing on the banks and the local government.
Chia-hung Tsai, an associate research fellow at National Chengchi University's Election Study Center, observes that because of Ma's personal charisma, he was able to separate his performance from that of the city government during his term as Taipei mayor. Even if city dwellers were dissatisfied with the way their city was being administered, they still were willing to support the mayor.
政大選研中心副研究員蔡佳泓指出，台北市長任內的馬英九因個人魅力強，市長與市政團隊的表現能脫勾處理，人民儘管不滿意市政，但對市長仍給予肯定。
"Now that he's reached the Office of the President, however, the structure of the constituency he faces is different and the demands of the electorate more complex. Unlike during his term as Taipei mayor, Ma cannot separate himself from the performance of his Cabinet team," Tsai notes.
「進入總統府這階段，他面對的選民結構不同、人民需求更複雜，他無法像台北市長任內，自外於行政團隊的表現，」蔡佳泓分析。
