legco meeting 在 Apple Daily - English Edition Facebook 的最讚貼文
#Editorial AppleDailyHK | "What Lam best at is contradicting herself. She declared that Hong Kong is a pluralistic society and not “monophonic,” and the government listens and accepts public opinion genuinely. On the other hand, she criticized the opposition for being disruptive during LegCo meetings and constantly going after her, which, she said, had wasted the meeting time, and nothing got done. It seems that Lam is after the exterior of western-style democracy that listens to public opinion, but a Chinese-style “I decide for my people” democracy behind the facade."

"其實,林鄭的好打得表現最佳的是在自打嘴巴。她一邊宣稱香港是多元社會不是「單聲道」,官員會認真廣納民意,另一邊又攻擊每次開地區會議時,反對派就去追擊、吵吵鬧鬧,結果一事無成。顯然,林鄭此時無非是要聽取民意的西式民主外表,實質要的還是為民做主的中式民主。"

legco meeting 在 Apple Daily - English Edition Facebook 的精選貼文
#Opinion by Kwai To 季陶 | "The source from the political circle pointed out that Beijing said earlier on it is not desirable to have only “one voice” in the LegCo, hoping to have “mixed voices” in the organ. “What they hope most is to ratify some democrats that are determined to ‘start afresh’ winning a few seats in elections for it wouldn’t look good if there is only ‘one voice’ – pro-establishment camp - in the LegCo.” That’s why Beijing hasn’t yet barred all pro-democracy figures from participating in elections till now, but has even been cozying up to some moderate pro-democracy figures in the hope that “they would be able to return to the proper path after going astray”. He heard that Beijing wanted to invite the moderate pro-democracy camp to attend the forums for discussing Hong Kong’s electoral arrangement, “but on one promised to show up for most of them were probably convinced that Beijing had already made the decision, so they could do nothing about it, and refused to be a political vase”."

"該政界人士指,早前北京講過日後立法會不想「清一色」,仍然希望可以有「混一色」,「最希望有民主派『改過自身』,畀佢哋參選贏返幾個位」,因為若日後立會「清一色」只有建制派,「其實都幾唔好睇」,所以北京至今未完全封死所有民主派參選的可能性,甚至想拉攏一些溫和民主派「迷途知返」。他據聞北京想請溫和民主派出席香港選舉制度座談會,「但聽聞冇人應承,相信好多人覺得根本北京已拍晒板,根本改變唔到乜嘢,更加唔想做政治花瓶」。"
