* Within two weeks, the list of at-large seats for Taiwan's Legislative Yuan (LY) will have to be submitted to the Central Election Committee (CEC) by each party and be made public. It's not just the number of seats but whether the list is inclusive enough to polish the party's image and secure broader grassroots support.
* There's been repeated news reports that both the ruling DPP and the opposition KMT are embroiled under intra-party strife along sectional and regional interests. Once public, the list could have profound implications on how the party-identification vote would go on January 11.
* On the other hand, the outlook of the People First Party (PFP) remains unclear regarding their presidential plans. Other political heavyweights have been linked to the possibility of forming an alliance outside of the Blue-Green dichotomy. The next two weeks should decide how and who will be the final contestants for the January 11 poll.
