Today is the second day of boycott by the university students of Hong Kong demanding the most fundamental democratic rights, the right to choose. It is a prelude to the impending 'occupy central with peace and love' movement. The basic law of Hong Kong holds out a promise to strive for universal suffrage. The package offered by Beijing is to freely elect from the practically vetted nominations by the Central Government.
Yes, but what are you actually saying here? Your overall underlying message is not at all clear.
ReplyDeleteWas trying to say,what is offered as electoral reform towards universal suffrage is a misnomer. True, I have not explained it in the post. I was making a satirical comment at what the Chinese Government said, " all registered voters get to vote to elect Chief Executive, but only from a nominated panel of two-three candidates" .
ReplyDeleteI would be posting a legal analysis of the electoral system of Hong Kong in two days. Today a related post, sans law is made.
