    Can I vote for "none of the above" or would it be "not the one above"?

    If any political party were doing this, they will be accused of corruption and bribery. But not if its the HK government doing it.

    To suggest otherwise would be illegal.

    It's not even banned in the mainland as it's considered too high brow for the general population to be interested in and therefore not worth banning. The Chinese government is always trying to strike a balance between keeping the intelligentsia (who are predominantly party members anyway) happy while preventing mass media from stirring trouble or giving people any undesirable ideas.

    "because they are shut out from Legco"?

    Pardon me, but... what?

    Wasn't it CY "689" Leung who first started blaming "foreign forces" for Hongkongers' unhappiness when CCP denied Hong Kong the universal suffrage and "Hongkongers ruling Hong Kong" that the CCP itself (before Dada of course) had solemnly promised?

    Now, "because they are shut out from Legco"? Who the fsck are these mighty "foreign forces"?
