Another commentator noted: "In the past, government officials set policy and rarely directly met with the people. This initiative is a manifestation of political responsibility, because in a democratic system, if the ruling party loses the people's hearts it cannot govern."
「在過去，政務官製定政策很少直接向人民負責或親自向人民說明，這次主動下鄉演講，即是政治責任的體現，因為在民意政治中，執政黨若失去了民心即無法執政」，他說。
