TPP chair Huang Guo-chang has outlined four draft bills, including the
extension of the number 3 nuclear power plant and life sentences without
parole for serious crimes, that his party is determined to push through this
summer.

Huang said public polls have shown the combined percentage of respondents who
were either strongly supportive or somewhat supportive of extending the power
plant was around 70%.

He's optimistic about the referendum on the power plant scheduled for August
23rd as over 75% of respondents said they would “definitely” or
“probably” vote.

Huang said there's also a very strong support, at 90-percent, for life
sentences without parole for serious crimes such as serial killings.

Under current law, inmates serving life imprisonment may apply for parole
after 25 years.

The TPP's public poll was conducted from June 20 to 22nd a total of 1,073
valid samples collected.
