The fundamental problem in Taiwanese democracy is if the opposition wins one election, they merge with the mainland - it means the ruling party can do whatever they want and still get votes.

This is a defining problem within all types of representative democracies: you only get to vote on a one-size-fits-all platform, not individual aspects of a platform.
