    Now that we have that out of the way, here's some good advice from Alan Leong Kah-kit, chairman of the Civic Party.

    Do that and they've got my vote.

    The majority of Pan Dems do care about livelihood issues. The current administration has administered a widening wealth gap, lower relative minimum wage, highest ever number below the poverty line, billions poured into negative return projects, Legco being nullified getting rid of a break on rampant cronyism etc.

    I am not clear on what you are saying. You can't vote for someone because someone else who is not them has a different view or approach. That make little sense. But you will promote a candidate that has a proven track record of doing what you think is wrong.

    And in 30 years they got within an inch of universal suffrage. Too bad they let their efforts be hijacked by political novices.
    Within an inch? Universal Suffrage never seemed to have been on the table, especially not since Xi came into power. Please illustrate which moment you mean with "an inch", I'm heating up the popcorn in anticipation.

    Also here's a reminder how the CCP fixed an election the democrats originally won by a wide margin, since you still seem desperately maintain the angle this election was somehow held under normal circumstances. :

    Two recent legal cases shows institutionalised vote rigging. Paying people to vote or barring candidates who have great recognition from running. Doesn't sound very free and fair under Mrs Lam - Agree?
