You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Trees Party''' (((zh|t=樹黨|p=Shù Dǎng|poj=Chhiū Tóng))) is a minor political party in [[Taiwan]]. The core ideology of the party is [[environmentalism]], and it is commonly identified as a "third force" party belonging to neither the [[Pan-Blue Coalition|Pan-Blue]] or [[Pan-Green Coalition]]s.<ref>((citation|url=http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2015/05/18/2003618560|title=Belle Yu draws DPP's eye|author=Loa Iok-sin|date=18 May 2015|publisher=Taipei Times))</ref> The party was formed in 2014 as a splinter group of the [[Green Party Taiwan]]<ref>((citation|title=2014 ELECTIONS: Smaller parties clinch big victories|publisher=Taipei Times|author1-link=Lii Wen|author=Lii Wen|date=December 2014|url=http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2014/12/01/2003605715))</ref> by brothers [[Pan Han-sheng]] and [[Pan Han-chiang]].<ref name="TT-Tree">((citation|title=Tree Party aims to speak for trees, wildlife, youth|author=Loa Iok-sin|date=8 September 2014|publisher=Taipei Times|url=http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2014/09/08/2003599270))</ref>

==History==
In 2014 Pan Han-sheng, one of the "stars" of the Green Party Taiwan (GPT), left the fold to start a new party, the Trees Party with his brother, Pan Han-chiang, a development described as "damaging" to the GPT.<ref name="Fell">((citation|url=https://blogs.nottingham.ac.uk/chinapolicyinstitute/2014/11/24/the-battle-for-third-place-prospects-for-taiwans-small-parties-in-its-november-local-elections/|title=The battle for third place: Prospects for Taiwan's small parties in local elections|author=Dafydd Fell|date=24 November 2014))</ref> Despite this, the Green Party Taiwan responded to the announcement of the formation of the Trees Party by "welcoming their strong stance on the protection of trees".<ref>((citation|url=http://www.coolloud.org.tw/node/80012|newspaper=苦勞網|title=綠黨聲明：關於綠黨黨員另組樹黨一事|date=6 September 2014|language=Chinese))</ref> While several articles in the English-language media refer to the party as the "Tree Party", the formal English name as stated in the constitution is the "Trees Party".<ref name="constitution"/>

In April 2020 the Trees Party was given notification by the Ministry of Interior of its disbandment.<ref>((cite news |title=Ministry drops delinquent political parties from list |url=https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2020/04/30/2003735554 |accessdate=22 October 2020 |work=Taipei Times |date=20 April 2020))</ref>

==Platform==
There are six core policy positions articulated in the party constitution: environmental stewardship, social justice, upholding participatory democracy, pacifism, sustainable development, and respect for diversity. The constitution also commits the party to "defending trees and Mother Earth from human greed and ignorance".<ref name="constitution"/>

The party sees its mission as:<ref name="constitution"/>
* Increasing public awareness of the global environmental crisis, with political action proposed as the main solution
* Nominating candidates to participate in elections
* Proposing public policy
* Providing educational programs and publications and encouraging citizen participation
* Promoting exchanges and cooperation between domestic and foreign political groups and local environmental groups
* Other matters to promote an environment conducive to political development

==Electoral performance==
In the [[2014 Taiwanese local elections|November 2014 9-in-1 elections]] the party won one seat in the [[Yilan County, Taiwan|Yilan County]] council.<ref>((citation|title=2014 Local Elections - Yilan County|publisher=Central Election Commission|url=http://vote2014.cec.gov.tw/en/W2/m708000000000000.html))</ref> In the race for the Taipei City Council, the party polled 2.1% of the total votes cast, winning no seats.<ref>((citation|publisher=Central Election Commission|url=http://vote2014.cec.gov.tw/en/PT/m100000000000000.html|title=2014 Local Elections - Taipei City Municipal Councilor Election))</ref> In the same set of elections, the party won one mayoral race, for [[Jiji, Nantou|Jiji Township]] in [[Nantou County]].<ref>((citation|title=2014 Local Elections - Jiji Township|url=http://vote2014.cec.gov.tw/en/TD/nm704010500000000.html|publisher=Central Election Commission))</ref> The mayor resigned from the party on 24 June 2015.<ref>((cite web|url=http://treesparty.tw/2016/04/22/jijimayor/|title=樹黨對於集集鎮長陳紀衡過度修剪老榕樹之聲明 - 樹黨|publisher=))</ref>
