The public had grown thoroughly disgusted during the recent election campaign with the mudslinging of the candidates, not to mention blatant partisanship in the media, but now that the election results are in, we are beginning to see a certain method to the madness of Taiwanese democracy. An embryonic two-party system seems to be taking shape. In future years we will clearly see how important these elections were in the development of Taiwanese democracy.
雖然這一段時間，民眾幾乎都在連續劇一般的政黨互批、媒體助陣戲碼下，感覺實在不勝其擾，但隨著大選結果的揭曉，一種亂中有序的台灣民主型態大致抵定，兩黨制的雛形漸具，相信我們在未來回顧二十一世紀初的這一場選舉時，會明白看出它在台灣民主進程中的重要性。
