Two days before the four-year District Council elections, the current elections were fiercely competitive. There were 1,090 candidates in 452 constituencies and more than one candidate in each district. According to the information, at least 190 candidates in this election will only be in the district after June this year, accounting for 17% of the total number of candidates. The proportion is not low, and many of them are playing the flag because of the anti-reform movement. In the election, there is almost no talk about the people's livelihood issues in the areas of concern to the residents. The name is actually "politically handsome."

For example, Mr Tse Wing-yin, who was elected to the "Ji Dian Shan" in this year, was a member of the Democratic Party in his early years. He was a member of the Legislative Council before the reunification and served as a member of the Causeway Bay District. After his re-election in 2007, he faded out of politics. This year's district elections are in the midst of anti-reforms. He tried to "re-start the mountain" and flew to the Jardine's Lookout. His current campaign opponents are Zhang Chaodun, who is recommended by the Democratic Forces, the regional organization "Wan Chai", and Lin Weiwen, the current district board member and Liberal Party. Look up the column of election information provided by Xie Yongling to the Registration and Electoral Office. The content reads: "Standing on the principle of one country, two systems, defending Hong Kong's core values; independently investigating police violence, responding to social calm; fighting for your rights and interests, optimizing community facilities; Get, the content is mainly slogan, with a political position.

In the Peak District, the political party of the "2047 Hong Kong Supervisory" members of the Liberal Party, Yang Zhe'an, was also very strong. Although his Facebook mentioned the wild boar problem in the Peak District, the election information mainly focused on political positions, including mentioning "defending Hong Kong." The core "true value" and "resolutely defend the voice of Hong Kong's core values, ambition and conscience into the regional council." Other livelihood issues are rare.

The candidate for the Mong Kok North candidate, Xiao Dejian, who was challenged by the Democratic Alliance for the People’s Liberation of the People’s Republic of China, was recommended by the Democratic Dynamics. He reported that he served as an associate researcher for youth services. He included photographs of wearing helmets, eye masks and gas masks in the election message and wrote "Respondent" and "Mong Kok On Fire". The five community visions he mentioned can be described as "different from each other", including "five major demands, which are indispensable". "Family neighbours will not be confronted by politics and let the young people have their own hands and feet", and other candidates who emphasize local people's livelihood. The vision is far from the same.

In his election message, Xiao Dejian, who is a deputy researcher at the "Youth Service Associate Researcher", contained photos of his helmet, eye mask and anti-virus mask, and wrote "The Fighter" and "Mong Kok On Fire", and he mentioned The five community visions can be described as "different from each other", including "five major demands, which are indispensable". "Family neighbours will not be confronted by politics and let the young people have their own hands."

According to Article 97 of the Basic Law, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region may establish non-regime regional organizations to accept consultations from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government on regional management and other matters, or to provide cultural, recreational and environmental sanitation services. The District Council is a statutory regional consultancy body established under section 97. Its main task is to advise the Government on matters affecting the welfare of residents in the district and the provision and use of public facilities and services in the district. The district boards are also in the district. Conduct environmental improvement projects and organize community activities and promote recreational and cultural activities at the district level.

The "Hong Kong 01" point of view pointed out that the District Council ballots are not used for "political stance". The District Councils deal with specific district policies and social resource management. If this year's district elections are used as "political statements" or deviate from the existence of district boards. Significance, while candidates and elected candidates are too biased towards political positions and attitudes, which is not good for the public.

The column of election information provided by Xie Yongling to the Registration and Electoral Office contains the principle of "holding on the principle of one country, two systems and defending the core values ​​of Hong Kong; independently investigating police violence and responding to social calm; fighting for rights and interests, optimizing community facilities; making it possible to do so" .
