The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress has decided to extend the term of the Legislative Council for no less than one year. Many protesters have voiced their voices, demanding that the democrats fully boycott the parliament in the coming year.

In an interview with "Hong Kong 01", Chairman Leung Jiajie of the Civic Party said that there is still a lot of room for the parliament in the coming year. He took the "fugitive offenders Ordinance" controversy as an example. The power of resistance. He described the current situation in Hong Kong as "street fighting everywhere," and it may not be a wise choice for the council to completely abandon it.

Regarding the current controversy, Liang Jiajie suggested "let the bullets fly for a while." After sufficient discussions within the democrats, they all go together and implement them so as not to fall into the "old routine" of Beijing's division.

Did not hear a convincing reason

All members of the current Legislative Council have been extended for no less than one year, including the Civic Party Yang Yueqiao, Guo Rongkeng, and Guo Jiaqi, who were disqualified from running for the election earlier. Liang Jiajie pointed out that the democrats did not have a consensus at the moment, and emphasized that all those mentioned were personal views. He pointed out that as long as you think of the anti-regulation movement last year, you will understand the value of the parliament in the entire struggle: "If we were enacting legislation at that time Will retreat and resign. The consequences are unimaginable."

He mentioned that even if the democrats are definitely invincible by the number of votes, they can use every means in the parliament to resist the government’s actions that are unpopular, and arouse local and international attention. "Even if we can’t stop it, we won’t let it. The government passed comfortably, so that they would tear their faces and pass through with wickedness, exposing the ugly side."

Liang Jiajie mentioned that disputes about the failure of the parliament and whether the general remarks will occasionally arise, but he still does not feel that the general remarks are an effective means of advancing the democratic movement. He used the war as an example: "Today's Hong Kong is no longer so simple that the army is overwhelming. , But anytime, anywhere, street fighting occurs on Nathan Road and Chater Road. Is it a wise choice for you to completely abandon your defense and retreat?"

He also pointed out that what should be done in the next year after the resignation of the general manager, and why these things must be resigned. No convincing argument has been heard so far, and the main slogan is currently. Liang Jiajie pointed out that the person who advocates the general resignation can tell him at any time if he finds a strong reason.

Urge friends who are "very strong in principle" to follow the wishes of the majority

The new year's session will start in October, and the democrats must make a final decision in the next one and a half months, or even less. Liang Jiajie pointed out that he hoped that the democrats would "let the bullets fly for a while." All parties would throw out their arguments, and after careful discussion, they would all fall together. Some "principles" friends also followed the wishes of the majority and "pull one faction against one faction." This has always been Beijing’s approach to the democrats. Don’t fall into this old strategy. We have experienced so much from 2014 to 2020. Now we are united with some forces. Brothers climb mountains and be courageous. Don’t be just like this. Break it up easily, otherwise it's sorry for the whole game."
