It used to be Nationalists vs. Communists, so one China and two political systems make sense.
Now a day, the Communists still want to bring Taiwan under their control, but it is not clear what the political parties in Taiwan want to do? Other than the people who really want Taiwan independence, it is not clear what the rest want.

"Now a day, the Communists still want to bring Taiwan under their control, but it is not clear what the political parties in Taiwan want to do?"
The Kuomingtang (formally known as the Nationalists) have never desired an independent Taiwan. In fact, it is just the opposite. The difference is that they envision a united Taiwan/China under a democratic government. Even the late Soon Mei-ling never made a cry for an "Independent Taiwan".
As for the DPP, it is quite clear that they desire an Independent Taiwan and rightly so. The same goes for the majority of the population in Taiwan.
