People covering this seem to have a common observation.

Oops. Well you can guess what they think.
It takes someone outside of HK to say what everyone else is thinking. I do have to say our local academics have gone easy on Carrie for the postponement

If we still get an election a year later or sometime in the future, I just wish all the people who voted for pro-democracy candidates in the district council elections last time will go and vote blank. If we are robbed of suitable candidates, at least make sure a big number of votes are cast, so that Beijing can see how small support the pro-establishment camp has, and how many people in Hong Kong still want to cast their vote - even it be a blank one.
Beijing doesn't care about their support. They only care about the result. 100% pro-Beijing candidates would be the ideal outcome for Beijing. They'd just hide the invalid votes and have China Daily and SCMP claim 100% support of Beijing's candidates by the HK population.
What's a bet the one-way permits over the next year get radically increased to increase the voter base.
