Last update date: 2020-06-01 02:34The Government announced the day before that He Qiming, a member of the Labour Federation ’s Legislative Council, as the deputy director of the Labour and Welfare Bureau, assumed the new position today (June 1). This is the first time that the Federation of Trade Unions has been promoted to the accountability team.
After He Qiming left office, how will it affect the individual and the formed camp? Regarding remuneration, He Qiming's monthly salary will double in the future, but he must first "discard" before he can be "accounted". According to regulations, each member of the Legislative Council will receive a full remuneration after the four-year term expires. 15% of the total internal remuneration. Since He Qiming left office about 3 months before the expiry of his term, it means that he will lose about 720,000 yuan in remuneration.
In addition, with the departure of He Qiming, the establishment faction lost a seat in the Legislative Council, and the Kowloon West MP Chen Kaixin was ruled by the court as "not properly elected", causing the establishment faction to lose two votes. However, after deducting two seats, the formed faction still has 41 seats in the parliament, accounting for the majority, so it has no real impact on the parliamentary situation.
If a member completes his term of office, he will be able to receive full remuneration at the end of the current term, which is equal to 15% of the total remuneration received during the term of office of the Legislative Council. (Profile picture)
In addition to the monthly salary, each member of the Legislative Council also has full remuneration, medical allowances, and operating expenses. If a member completes his term of office, he will be able to receive full remuneration at the end of the current term, which is equal to 15% of the total remuneration received during the term of office of the Legislative Council. If calculated on the basis of a parliamentary salary of 100,000 yuan per month, the remuneration for tenure after four years is about 720,000 yuan.
However, "small wealth can't come out, big money can't enter." He Qiming's "turning the runway" serves as the deputy bureau, and his monthly salary will be twice as high as that of the Legislative Council, enough to make up for the "loss". According to government documents, the deputy director's salary is set at between 65% and 75% of the director's salary. In other words, He Qiming has a monthly salary of at least RMB 217,000 and an annual salary of at least RMB 2.6 million. Relatively speaking, it is definitely worth abandoning the full salary of RMB 720,000.

The loss of 2 votes for the formation is still unimpeded
He Qiming resigned as a member of the Legislative Council on June 1, coupled with the earlier court ruling that the currently elected member of Kowloon West, Chen Kaixin, was "not properly elected". The seats are not guaranteed at any time. Although the establishment may lose two seats in the Legislative Council at once, it has no real impact on the situation in the Parliament. Because the earlier District Nuoxuan and the New Democratic League Fan Guowei were both sentenced to "not properly elected", the democratic faction only retained 24 seats, and the establishment faction still had 41 seats after deducting He Qiming and Chen Kaixin, even if the "big chairman" was excluded. Liang Junyan still has the absolute advantage.
According to Annex II of the Basic Law, the bill proposed by the government is passed if it receives more than half of the votes of all members present at the meeting.
And the motion of the parliamentarians needs to be passed by the counting of votes at the same time. After He Qiming resigned from the labour sector, the formed faction still occupies 24 seats in the functional constituency. Compared with the 10 seats of the democratic faction, the strength of the two parties is very different.
