The MiLinguall Party (simplified Chinese: 台湾双语无法党; traditional Chinese: 臺灣雙語無法黨) is a single-issue political party in Taiwan. The party was founded by Wen Hsiao [zh] on January 19, 2020, and advocates for better bilingual education in the country through the inclusion of science of reading into school curricula.

History

[edit]

The MiLinguall Party was founded by Wen Hsiao [zh], part-time professor at the National Taiwan Normal University and former interpreter for president Chen Shui-bian, on January 19, 2020.[1][2] 145 members, mostly educators and parents, joined the party.[3]

The party has three main political views and intends to dissolve itself once all three are met: to synchronize bilingual education in Taiwan with that of the US and Australia, to incorporate science of reading (SoR) into school curricula, and to enforce SoR through legislation.[4][5][6] According to Wen, the party's ultimate goal is the completion of 2030 Bilingual Nation, a project initiated by the Tsai and Lai administrations that aims to establish English as a co-official language.[7]

The party ran 10 indigenous candidates and 2 party-list representatives in the 2024 legislative elections. It won 44,852 party-list votes (0.33% of total votes cast), failing to reach the 5% threshold for representation in the Legislative Yuan. Out of the 16 parties that received votes, it finished 9th, above the New Party and Taiwan Solidarity Union.[8][9] It urged voters to vote for a major party instead in indigenous constituencies, where its best result was in Tainan's fifth district, getting 38,695 (23.46%) of the vote.[10][11]
