    Crowd Funding for HK CE *lections?

    Why would you need to crowdfund for the HK CE selection exercise?

    Saw this para in the SCMP.

    The team has also held discussions on whether to launch a crowd-funding initiative for Tsang – as the outgoing US president Barack Obama did in 2008 when he attracted many small donors for his campaign – to engage Hongkongers who do not have a vote in the chief executive election. But no decision has yet been made.

    because if you are not the preferred candidate of beijing, you might get no free help from tycoons, shoe shiners and wannabes?
