The Democrats Quliu Poll announced the results today (29th). Based on the fact that less than half of those who support or oppose retention, 19 pro-democracy members decided to stay.
Cai Ziqiang, a senior lecturer in the Department of Politics and Administration at CUHK, said that two or three months ago, the majority of supporters opposed to staying behind. However, after nearly one menstrual period, after democrats commented, the poll results showed that the situation has changed. Both support and oppose staying behind. The number of people is close to half and half.
Cai Ziqiang said that the left-behind members should lobby and support the departed. Remaining in office is not to betray the supporters of the democrats, but to be valuable.
He predicts that the posture and resistance of the remaining members of Parliament in the next year will become radical.

Regarding the three pro-democracy members who do not stay in office, Cai Ziqiang believes that for bills that require two-thirds of all members to pass, such as DQ incumbent members, the bills may have an impact. The remaining members should be careful and united.
He also said that there is a certain gap between the number of democrats and the establishment in other motions, and the focus is on how to fight the government and the establishment through different strategies.
Ma Yue, an associate professor in the Department of Politics and Administration at the Chinese University of China, pointed out that the next year will depend on developments in the future. If a controversial issue arises, it will put pressure on the democratic legislators to stay.
He said that although the number of pan citizens is not enough to prevent the passage of draconian laws, radical supporters demand that they have a stronger response on controversial issues.
He predicted that the political energy of the MPs who originally planned to retire would be lower in the coming year, but the enthusiasm for re-election would be stronger.
