In May when Chen Shui-bian ascended to the presidency, he appointed Tang Fei of the KMT as premier. The Chen-Tang government promised that it would be "a government for all the people" and that it would "clean up corruption." These courageous statements charmed the nation, and the government's approval ratings topped 70-80 %.
今年五月，陳水扁總統就任之初，任命唐飛擔任閣揆，以「陳唐體制」的執政組合，向全民展現「全民政府、清流共治」以及「掃黑內閣」的雄心魄力，民意支持度曾經衝高至七、八成以上，充分反映出民眾對「全民政府」的高度期待。
