Hong Kong cannot grow without democracy. It will stay in a straightjacket and lose its special status within China.
Hong Kong has nothing in common with the African/Middle Eastern countries with corrupt elections, because it is both rich and well-educated (oh and for the record, the only functioning democracy in the Middle East is Israel).
One person one vote DOES NOT guarantee anything. Many countries in Africa and Middle East have this kind of voting system, but they are in a mess. Some Hong Kong people are too obsessed with ideology. May be someone wants to be the first Prime Minister of Hong Kong, that is why the person concerned are so enthusiastic in the fight for "Democracy". Under British rule, nobody seemed to be fighting for democracy in Hong Kong. Why in such a hurry now?

The beauty of Hong Kong is its freedom (politically & economically) and the transparency of the government.
