I think you are seriously under-calling the numberOriginal Post Deleted
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...
So I'm just guessing here; the politburo with its occasional temporary 'democratic' internal power struggles.
Right, right.but that's not a possibility at this stage.
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.
