Editing Democratic Progressive Party (section)

=== Factions ===

For many years the DPP officially recognized several factions within its membership, such as the [[New Tide faction]] ({{Script|Hanb|新潮流系}}), the [[Formosa faction]] ({{Script|Hanb|美麗島系}}), the [[Justice Alliance faction]] ({{Script|Hanb|正義連線系}}) and [[Welfare State Alliance faction]] ({{Script|Hanb|福利國系}}). Different factions endorse slightly different policies and are often generationally identifiable, representing individuals who had entered the party at different times. In 2006, the party ended recognition of factions.<ref name="fractions">{{cite news |first=Jewel |last=Huang |date=24 July 2006 |url=http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2006/07/24/2003320124 |newspaper=Taipei Times |title=DPP votes to do away with factions |page=1 |access-date=22 September 2006 |archive-date=29 September 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929155641/http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2006/07/24/2003320124 |url-status=live }}</ref> The factions have since stated that they will comply with the resolution. However, the factions are still referred to by name in national media.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Engbarth|first1=Dennis|title=DPP campaign aims to bring people 'Happiness and Pride'|url=http://www.etaiwannews.com/etn/news_content.php?id=1322395&lang=eng_news&cate_img=logo_taiwan&cate_rss=TAIWAN_eng|access-date=30 January 2016|work=Taiwan News|date=19 July 2010|archive-date=2 February 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160202080606/http://www.etaiwannews.com/etn/news_content.php?id=1322395&lang=eng_news&cate_img=logo_taiwan&cate_rss=TAIWAN_eng}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last1=Su|first1=Justin|last2=Yeh|first2=Sophia|last3=Wen|first3=Kui-hsiang|last4=Chang|first4=S.
