The general resignation of members of the Pan-Democratic Legislative Council will take effect tomorrow. Democratic Party Chairman Hu Zhiwei believes that whether the democrats will run for elections in the future should first consider the meaning of future elections.
According to his analysis, the democrats’ participation in the Legislative Council election is to demonstrate public opinion and to win over half of the "35+" seats. Once the latter is definitely not feasible, continuing to participate in the election should be for the "protest vote" (using voting as a demonstration). It is better for multiple people to participate in the election. To be "really be water", I believe it will make it more difficult for the government to participate in the election.
In addition, the Democratic Party will hold general elections next Sunday (December 6). Hu Zhiwei stated that he will only stand for the election of committee members and not the chairman. He also sent a message to the new leader of the Democratic Party that he also needs new imagination to face the current situation, and More "retreats" are different from the past "frequent elections with two sentences."
On the last day of his term, Hu Zhiwei shared his views on the democratic movement and political situation in the Legislative Council with the media.

At a tea gathering with the media today (30th), Hu Zhiwei pointed out that whether the democrats will run for the Legislative Council in the future should first think about the significance of future elections.
He believes that current imagination will easily come to the conclusion that "election is useless", but believes that "whether it is useful" and "elect or not" should be two levels of issues, and it will be considered by every generation of democrats in the future. thing.
However, personally, Hu Zhiwei always believes that "it must be elected" because the election itself is a process of showing public opinion.
If there is another election, the democrats "must vote"
Hu Zhiwei said frankly that the traditional pan-democrats used to place elections at an important position in the entire work process, but the current parliament can no longer play a role in checking and balancing the government. Democrats cannot get the post of speaker for a day and cannot be released from parliamentary constraints. "There is a big difference between 35+ and no 35+."
According to his personal analysis, they can still stand for elections, but they have to face severe restrictions and the government will not allow democrats to obtain a majority of the parliament.
When the 35+ is no longer the target of the election, in Hu Zhiwei's eyes, the election has become a "protest vote". The more people participating in the election, the better. It also means that this will be the real "be water".
He explained that with many people running for elections, it will be more difficult for the regime to suppress them, and supporters of the democratic camp no longer need to worry about "voting with tears."
He believes that the democrats can concentrate their votes at a later stage of the election and believe that voters will have their own wisdom by then.
Hu Zhiwei told the media during tea talks that whether the democrats will run for the Legislative Council in the future, they should first think about the meaning of future elections.

If you continue to use the primary election mechanism, everyone will face DQ risk
He also emphasized that proposing the above-mentioned candidate route is not to pave the way for non-compliance with the results of the democratic primary elections. "If everyone thinks that the Honor primary election is necessary, we (the Democratic Party) are not the worst." But he believes, If the primary election mechanism continues to be used, everyone will face various DQ risks and face major tactical challenges.
When asked if he had discussed the way forward with the protesters, Hu Zhiwei pointed out that the situation was developing too quickly, and the current situation is different from that of the democratic parties in July.
He believes that everyone should be "happy to see and speak sincerely," and to put forward opinions on the future direction together.
The scene where the police fired tear gas in the direction of Hu Zhiwei on June 12, 2019 became Hu Zhiwei's most popular scene in recent years.

The Democratic Party re-elects and abandons the chairman of the race, hopes the new leadership will drive new imagination
After the Democratic Party re-elects the leadership, Hu Zhiwei expects that there will be more young friends in the Central Committee who are "more in sync", hoping that they will have a new vision to face the current situation.
He laughed and said that he rarely used social media and was always at a distance from young people. The Democratic Party leadership in the future will be different from the current one.
As for the vice chairman election, there are three people who are interested in running for two positions. He emphasized that he believes in the choices of the congregation.
He also said that the reduction of the number of members of the new Central Committee from 30 to 25 will make the election more competitive, and the elected will cherish the position of the Central Committee.
