    That makes little sense unless the purpose is not just to enact the needed requirements of article 23.

    I think you are seriously under-calling the number

    Let's see

    777 on the CE selection committee
    10 or so in the Executive Branch
    20 or so active pro-authoritarian law makers
    1 Police Commissioner
    10 members of CCP rubber stamp bodies
    1000 hangers on

    That would make it about 0.02% of the population...

    Right, right.

    Hong Kong people are too stupid to have a say (especially the well-educated young and middle-aged who predominantly support democracy), except for the newly imported mainland migrants and the greased-and-wheeled-in-elderlies who are told to put their mark next to the regime party's logo.


    Perhaps one real-life no-harm-to-the-society use of poll-based decision-making could be a Geoexpat poll asking whether the forum user "civil_servant's" nom-de-guerre should be changed to "party_servant" on the evidence that he/she/it invariably acts in favour of the party dictatorship and against the civil society of Hong Kong.

    Whatever the result of the poll, it would not entail a jail sentence, stripping the subject of political rights or politically motivated and engineered bankruptcy despite the subject's vehement support for such authoritarian acts of control.

    I don't think even I could manage such a passive aggressive post..."yikes" indeed!
