During the deliberations of this primary election, the participants agreed that the Legislative Council should use the constitutional powers conferred by the Basic Law, including vetoing the Budget proposed by the SAR Government to hold the SAR Government accountable to the Legislative Council.

If this can also be regarded as illegal, it will only make future governance more difficult and will stimulate greater Fight.
