The turnout for the 2011 protest is the highest since 2004. Organizers of the protest claimed a turnout of 218,000 people.[18] There were quite a number of issues. Just two days before the protest, the government led by Stephen Lam tried to pass a bill to no longer allow by-elections, this is to block any more events similar to the Five Constituencies referendum.[19][20] There were demands for Donald Tsang to step down, and bring in universal suffrage[21] to both the 2012 chief executive and Legco election.
