Am I the only one that keeps thinking of this Chris Rock video (1:25) when Hong Kong people and newspapers go on about wanting to choose their next chief executive?
Go on, let them have democracy and be as miserable as the rest of us!

Hahaha.
But I think many Hong Kong people are already a miserable lot with or without democracy.

Regardless of issue, I think Hongkongers in general are very unhappy about the lack of opportunities today compared to pre-1997 days. In a sense, I feel many are still clinging on to the golden days of Hong Kong, which I do offer my opinion that it certainly has a different vibe than today. Nonetheless people should think creatively and plan for the future, not the past. Hongkong's economic niche is losing standing as days go on without further innovation.
Even without this universal suffrage movement, there will always be another issue. Nobody complains when there is money to be shared and resources available for exploit. Magnify that 10x when Hongkongers are dominated by mainlanders who benefited from China's boom.
Remember many locals earn 10-20k monthly salary. To understand them, you need to look beyond the expat lifestyle.

Your questions are Off topic . PM if you like.
My opinion of democracy is a joke. The people do have more power than dictatorships but human nature naturally bands in groups and in the case of democracy the power lies more with corporations, at least the US version of democracy.

Oh for fuck sake HK people are as dumb as dog shit if they seriously think a chosen representative will make one iota of difference in anything
