A Generational Vote in Taiwan

The presidential and legislative elections take place on Saturday. Every election is important and the main characteristic of these elections is generational change.

Five years ago, Justin Trudeau, then 43, became prime minister of Canada; in 2017, Emmanuel Macron, then 40, was elected president of France; the same year, Jacinda Ardern, then 37, became prime minister of New Zealand; and last year, Sanna Marin, 34, became prime minister of Finland.
