The Hong Kong District Council is about to be re -elected. Lu Wenduan, vice chairman of the National Overseas Chinese Federation of China, said that the election of the Legislative Council under the newly selected "soft cup" system of the Panmin will greatly affect its own survival.If you do n’t go to election again, it is equivalent to “looking for a dead end” in politics.
Lu Wenduan wrote in Ming Pao on Thursday (April 27) that some pan -people who based on the grassroots have done a lot of work in service areas and have a good regional foundation.Among the current district councilors, dozens of backgrounds belong to the Pan -people. After review and oath, they became district councilors who were in line with the new selection. There was no reason to give up the opportunity to run the district council.
Lu Wen Duan believes that for the pan -people, it is not the issue of whether to run for the district council, but it should be based on the new arrangement of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government how to deploy the election.
He mentioned that regarding the methods of the district council, some public opinion in the society used direct or democracy as a ruler to measure or evaluate the production of the district council, not correct or appropriate.
Lu Wenduan explained that the Basic Law stipulates that the district council is a consulting regional organization. The way of generating does not involve the democratic rights of the citizens, and there is no issue of democracy.There are many consulting organizations in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, but no one has questioned that this is not democratic. Therefore, the district council must not be generated through elections. Even if there is an election component, the proportion of direct elections should not be too much.Moreover, whether it is a direct election or a method of election and appointment, it should not be responsible for democracy.
He said that the district council needs to adopt indirect election or even appointment method to absorb regional leaders with mobilization and influence on the region, as well as those with professional backgrounds to join the District Council.Politicization needs.He said that from the public's view, as long as he can serve the people, it is a good district councilor.
The term of this district council will end at the end of this year, and the Hong Kong government will hold a new district council election by the end of the year.The Chief Executive Li Jiachao pointed out on Tuesday (April 25) that the district council is not allowed to be reduced to the "Hong Kong independence" platform. In the future, the district council will retain certain election components.The seats may be reduced.
