The Parliament Watch Foundation was established in August last year, drawing members from political, academic, media and business circles and social movements. During the election period the foundation produced a report which assessed the performances of legislators during the last session of the Yuan, which received much attention. A number of other alliances sprang up to put forward their own recommendations for candidates.
去年八月，由政、學、社運、媒體、工商等各界人士，發起組成的「國會觀察基金會」成立，在選舉期間提出上屆立委問政成績評鑑報告，結果頗受重視；其它還有消基會、殘障聯盟等組織也紛紛推薦候選人。
