    So… The KMT won the most seats, but the DPP won the presidentship? Truly, the most efficient system of government is a FPTP system.

    This is like the Canadian NDP/Liberal split that leads to the Conservatives somehow forming government despite having no support in the key urban centers (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver).
