Only 1,194 of the city’s 7.3 million population have the privilege of picking the chief executive, yet more than half didn’t bother attending the final debate
The Chief Executive of Hong Kong is still selected by the Central Election Commission, which is little more than a thinly-disguised dictatorship. The people of Hong Kong should avail of Article 39 of the Basic Law, which declares that the people of the SAR have the right to petition for referendums. To curb corruption, the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches should be elected in alternating years, and 1/4 of all MPs should face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
