The Legislative Council is reviewing the "Improvement of the Electoral System Bill". After the passage of the Bill, the number of members of the Legislative Council will increase to 90, of which 40 will be the new electoral committee sector. In the future, candidates for elections to the Legislative Council will need to obtain electoral committees. Nominate.

Former Legislative Council Chairman Jasper Tsang interviewed the current Chairman Leung Junyan on a TV program and asked whether Legislative Council members who are ex-officio members of the Election Committee can nominate themselves when they stand for election.

In response, Liang Junyan pointed out that the specific details need to be deliberated, but he believes that the nomination of the election committee needs to be recognizable, and questioned that if members of the Legislative Council nominate themselves, it is not recognizable.

However, when Jasper Tsang asked whether members of the Pakatan Harapan Legislative Council can nominate each other, such as Liang Junyan and Liang Meifen nominating each other, Liang Junyan said that these must be ok, emphasizing that candidates must be recognizable and named "in the fourth sector." (Including members of the Legislative Council, the District Fight Crime Association, and the Fire Prevention Association) must be quite receptive.

Jasper Jasper returned to the office of the President of the Legislative Council to visit Liang Junyan.

Jasper Tsang interviewed Liang Junyan in "Discussions and Discussions" and asked him whether this year’s budget was passed quickly. Liang Junyan pointed out that in the past, the Democratic Party Tu Jinshen would propose one or two amendments. Since there was not even one this time, it was a breakthrough. There are no amendments for record.

In response to the efficiency of the meeting, he emphasized that there is no Rab in the parliament, but the establishment members are all serious discussions.

There are not too many pan-people to be comfortable and leisurely?

Liang: Now there are 42 opposition parties

Jasper Jasper said with a smile that when he was still the President of the Legislative Council, a central official once pointed out to him, "If the Legislative Council has many establishment members and not too many pan-democrats, you will be comfortable as the President of the Legislative Council." Is it true?

Liang also joked that "there are 42 opposition factions now" because the establishment members have more opportunities to express their opinions, and different parties have opinions on certain policies, such as the site selection for cemeteries and the non-distribution of unemployment assistance. In the end, To emphasize that they are "oppositions" is just a joke.

Liang Junyan said that the "Basic Law" stipulates that the term of office of the Legislative Council is four years. Based on this inference, the term of the Legislative Council from now on will be from January 1 to December 31.

The new session of the Legislative Council begins on January 1 may affect the release of the policy address

The new term of the Legislative Council will begin on January 1 next year. Jasper Tsang mentioned that the large-scale construction of the Legislative Council Building was held during the summer vacation. He asked Mr. Leung Junyan whether the new term of office would eliminate the summer vacation for the Legislative Council.

Liang Junyan explained that due to the rules of procedure, there cannot be six weeks apart from the meeting during the same meeting. In the past, the meeting started after the summer vacation and there were no related problems.

He asked on the program, "Should we not have a long summer vacation, or should we modify the rules of procedure?"

Regarding the future date of the session, Leung Junyan pointed out that the Basic Law stipulates that the term of office of the Legislative Council is four years. If this is inferred, the session of the Legislative Council from now on will be from January 1 to December 31.

He also mentioned that many problems will arise from this, such as the timing of the policy address, etc. There will be many things that need to be coordinated.

After the restructuring, the office is insufficient to add noise problems or consider building ailerons

Jasper Tsang also asked if the number of members in the next Legislative Council will increase to 90 after the electoral reform, and whether the Administrative Council will discuss how to handle it.

Liang Junyan said that it is expected that it is possible to rent a temporary office near the Legislative Council in the short term. The more permanent approach, including the establishment of a law meeting, has to consider issues such as construction noise and whether it is feasible.

Another option is to find land near the Legislative Council Complex and build another aileron.
