As the 2007 legislative election in Hong Kong showed, all these pro-democracy (read pro-British colonialism) parties lost in massive landslides. So, that's that.
banzaidawan: Wrong, it was the District council elections, a non-law making body, where the DAB (read pro-China colonialism) won a majority. The Anson Chan, a pro-democratic legislator, won the 2007 LEGCO elections.
Furthermore, pro-democratic legislators wish, like most of us in HK, wish for a democratic system of accountability & self-determination. Its utterly illogical to say this aspiration is "pro-British colonialism"
I look forward to your petty shrieking insults with weary bemusement
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?
American democracy won't work in every country. It could cause disasters. China needs to develop a democracy system that fits itself. And Chinese ppl must take their time. Fortunately, CCP has quietly started its reform. ppl are having more freedom and lower level officials have to be elected.

Fortunately, CCP has quietly started its reform. ppl are having more freedom and lower level officials have to be elected by the public...it's a good sign.
The so called democracy is a cost-effective anti-China tool used by western world to intervene other countries. Look at South America and Africa, they are democracies, but they are all in chaos too. In the 90's, Russia adopted US democracy but its GDP suffered a 30% recession. oh, did I mention the invasion of Iraq, in the name of freedom?
these arsss holes had a white master before 1997 and the never complained. He couldn't vote whatsoever but they didn't protest...Now they are having more freedom than ever, they are governed by pure blooded Honhkong Chinese, they are having a more prosperous economy....but they started protesting! How LAME is that???
onegoodman66: "Traitors" are we? For standing up for democratic reform, instead of grovelling for scraps that will never come at the feet of the CCP? We'll leave that shameful business for true "patriots" such as yourself.
Truly, you are the traitor for advocating the denial of the rights of the people and putting the CCP above the people.
Well, I have a solution. Let us go, let us be independent and we'll no longer be traitors any more.
Typical HK Mandarin, typical HK positive power - speaking out what we need - Universal Suffrage. We can hear only what the China official say from the news, now hear it from us in real on the internet - HK wants a better system for our own development.
happy for hk people is getting togetter

資本主義的民主是最虛僞的東西。
資本主義有民主么?
誰有銭誰就有發言權;誰有銭誰就有機會去推動選舉;誰有銭誰就能站出來鼓吹怎麽怎麽照顧廣大人民的??
結果呢,那些當權的人他們只是爲了少數人的牟取利益而已
資本主義的民主選舉只是銭的作秀而已,人民只是一場鬧劇的觀看者,直到鬧劇結束才發現受騙,才去尋求另外的寄托。
