As Minister of the Interior Lin Yang-kang noted: "An election is not a fanfare nor does it have to be noisy; a heated and inflammatory election atmosphere in no way helps the electorate to make their choices in an intelligent, discerning, and rational manner."
內政部部長兼中央選委會主任委員林洋港說：「選舉不是大拜拜，不是熱鬧就好；激烈和煽情，並不能幫助選民做明智的判斷和理性的選擇。」
