Editing Taiwan Independence Party (section)

== History ==
Disappointed by the [[Democratic Progressive Party]]'s (DPP) gradual moderation of its support of [[Taiwan independence]], some DPP members, many connected to [[Peng Ming-min]]'s "Nation Building Association", formed the Taiwan Independence Party in 1996. However, the party has failed to win large-scale support, due to the lack of organizational skills and internal disagreements.<ref name="dict">{{cite book|last=Copper|first=John F.|title=Historical Dictionary of Taiwan (Republic of China)|url=https://archive.org/details/historicaldictio00copp_185|url-access=limited|publisher=The Scarecrow Press, Inc.|place=Lanham, Maryland|year=2007|series=Historical Dictionaries of Asia, Oceania, and the Middle East, No. 64|page=[https://archive.org/details/historicaldictio00copp_185/page/n287 244]–245|isbn=9780810856004 |ol=7997166M}}</ref> It was largely displaced as Taiwan's ideological independence party by the [[Taiwan Solidarity Union]] (TSU).
