Major opposition parties yesterday turned a cold shoulder to President Chen Shui-bian's latest plans to form a cross-party alliance after the Dec. 1 elections to maintain domestic political stability.

In contrast, the proposal received enthusiastic support from fellow Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) heavyweights.
/ Mkoh chit-e keoe siu3tioh Binchintong (BCT) toasian-jinbut chin jiatliat e chichhi5. President Chen has offered to form an alliance with opposition parties after the upcoming elections for legislators and local government chiefs to break the parliamentary gridlock.

"After the elections, we will form a coalition government. I'm also confident about forming a 'supra-party' alliance to stabilize the nation," Chen told reporters during a train ride back to Taipei late Wednesday after stumping for DPP candidates in northeastern Ilan county.
/ "Soanki liauau lan ai chou lianhap chenghu.

Chen said he would invite opposition politicians and legislators to join the proposed alliance as part of efforts to break the lingering deadlock between his minority administration and opposition parties.

He promised to consult the alliance before making major decisions, such as choosing the premier and Cabinet ministers.

/ Tansi peng bo toasian e hoantui-jinbut tuiTan e the7gi7 u chhubi. Both Kuomintang Chairman Lien Chan and People First Party Chairman James Soong were quick to rule out the possibility of their participation in the so-called "national stabilization alliance."
