Taiwan's opposition KMT is under fire over its own version of drone rules and a run of political missteps, bad news for the party's standing with voters.

• The KMT-backed drone proposal is drawing warnings that it could open the door to security risks rather than close them.
• Critics say the blue camp's version would weaken safeguards at a time when Taiwan is watching Chinese drone activity closely.
• Three separate flashpoints involving the party have landed at once, feeding public anger.
• The pile-up puts pressure on KMT leadership just as it tries to hold ground against the ruling party.

Outlook: Expect the drone rules to stay a political fight, with the KMT likely forced to defend or soften its version in the coming weeks.
