Not only are the districts smaller, it is now a game of "winner takes all." The ratio of pan-blue to pan-green supporters throughout most of Taiwan is about 60: 40, but even if each DPP candidate managed to scrape together 40 % of the votes, they would still have to sit and watch helplessly as the KMT candidate makes off with the district's single seat.
小選區「贏者全拿」的新規則，放在台灣絕大部分版圖均為藍綠基本盤「六四開」的現實下，即使民進黨仍保有近 4 成得票率，也只能眼睜睜把各選區的唯一席位拱手讓給得票數更高的國民黨候選人。
