Chou Yu-jen, a professor of public administration at Taipei University, notes that in the past when the KMT controlled the Executive Yuan, they had an absolute majority in the legislature, but this did not mean legislation passed smoothly or efficiently. A majority is not enough for promotion of policy, and the only sound foundation for cross-party cooperation will be sincerely facing up to differences and communicating in good faith.
台北大學公共行政暨政策系教授周育仁就指出，過去國民黨執政時在立院也是絕對多數，但立院運作仍無法順暢，績效不佳，可見多數並非政策推動的要件，誠懇面對與善意溝通才是政黨合作的基礎。
