It had both Taiwanese independence supporters and anti-independence liberals. It also had some former members of the Taiwanese People's Party (Taiwanese Tridemists who were betrayed by Chiang Kai-shek) Many of the non-KMT affiliated independent candidates of the movement were elected in Taiwan in provisional elections even during the martial law era.
