Beijing reformed the local electoral system. After joining the Election Committee, the Legislative Council accounted for a larger proportion of 40 seats. On the contrary, directly elected seats were reduced from 35 to 20.

The chairman of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong, Tsang Yok-sing, believes that it is narrow-minded to move to the electoral committee due to the reduction of directly elected seats. "In addition to having the backbone, the DAB should be bigger if it is ambitious. You should not just look at the 90 seats." , And considering joining the government is one of the directions.

Before the election reform plan was introduced, Jasper Tsang proposed "333" to form the Legislative Council, that is, the Election Committee, the functional constituency, and the district direct election each account for 30 seats.

Jasper said that if the Legislative Council elections in December this year go smoothly, the operation of the Legislative Council will be very effective in the next four years, and the proportion of seats in the Legislative Council will be adjusted in the future, "from "2, 3, 4" to "3, 3, 3". , What's weird?"

Jasper Jasper said that the Legislative Council was not operating satisfactorily before, and that abandoning the original track to start again cannot be said to be reversing.

Denial that the political system is "reversing"

In an interview with "Cable News", Jasper Tsang mentioned that the Legislative Council had reorganized the electoral committee sector. He pointed out that many people believed that the first and second Legislative Councils in the early days of the reunification were more civilized than they are now. He also described that the Legislative Council could not operate most of the time in recent years. The SAR governance is getting more and more difficult. "Under this situation, we are now abandoning this track and restarting on another track. It cannot be said that it is driving backwards."

Jasper Tsang: General elections will not be unlimited in the future

Jasper Tsang believes that after the revision of this election, the Central Government will be more assured of the Hong Kong Council. It is expected that universal suffrage will be conducted on the current basis in the future, and there will continue to be nomination restrictions and qualification checks. Yes, I find it very difficult in the distant future."

Jasper Tsang once said that he believes that the central government will continue to promote administrative reforms with "five steps", but now it has only become "one piece". He admitted that he underestimated the central government's determination and believes that this change is because it is difficult for the central government to accept political reforms. The Legislative Council has the support of the pan citizens.
