Taiwan: KMT locks out ruling party and passes "Queen of the Hill" recall provision in committee

No idea what this means, but the opposition  Kuomintang Party locked the ruling Democratic Progressive Party, out of a committee room and passed the recent push to change Taiwan's recall law

The law is a  "queen of the hill"  which requires the pro-recall vote to top the amount of votes received in the official's original election. The Central Election Commission notes that Taiwan would be the only county with such a law. While I can't say about countries, Idaho has this law. 

The current law which currently has a "absentee veto" requirement (25% must turnout for the recall to count), 

No idea if that lock out counts or if this will just be rejected on the floor.
