Bickering among political parties has badly affected the public perception of the new government's record in power and has made Taiwanese people feel powerless and fed up with what they see as an unstable political system. Growing indifference to politics among citizens, the business world, and academia also seriously undermines the effort to turn Taiwan into a democracy with a high level of civic consciousness.
政黨惡鬥，大大影響了新政府的政績表現，也讓民眾對政治權術的翻雲覆雨感到既無奈又厭棄，「政治冷感」在民間、產業界及學界發酵，對於打造台灣成為具有高度公民意識的民主社會，可說是十分不利的。
