Taiwan: Battles in the legislature over changes to recall law

The push to change Taiwan's recall law is running into ferocious opposition. The law, which currently has a "absentee veto" requirement (25% must turnout for the recall to count), would add a "queen of the hill" provision, which requires the pro-recall vote to top the amount of signatures received in the official's original election. The proposal is backed by the opposition Kuomintang Party and opposed by the ruling Democratic Progressive Party, so unclear how it would pass.
