The National People's Congress revised Hong Kong's electoral system, and political circles are concerned about whether the democrats will still run for the Legislative Council in the future.

The vice chairman of the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese and the chairman of the Hong Kong Association for the Promotion of Peaceful Reunification of China, Lu Wenduan wrote in a newspaper today (26) that although there are public opinions that the pan-democratic stream thinks that it should not participate in the next legislative council election, he believes that the pan-people affirmed The question is only which pan-democrats are running for the election.

Lu Wenduan believes that Panmin’s participation in the election under the new electoral system is the first and crucial step towards transformation. I believe Panmin’s insightful people will take this step.

He believes that this is not only because participating in politics is the way for the pan-people to survive, but also after the pan-people's "emotional vent", the various stakeholders behind it will push the pan-people to participate in the election in different ways.

Lu: Participating in politics is the way for the opposition to survive

In his article, Lu Wenduan stated that the political space for pan-democracy comes from "one country, two systems," and he believes that the central government is sincere in implementing "one country, two systems" and hopes that Hong Kong will develop a rational, moderate, and mature opposition party, giving the opposition party legal space for political development.

Lu Wenduan believes that participating in politics is the way for the Panmin to survive as an opposition party. "Those who say that they do not want to stand for election are not candidates. They say loudly that they do not want to participate in the election, but they say "Standing and not talking." "Backache", those pan-democrats who are already in the political arena and have not slackened their work are using their actions to release the message that they will not give up the election lightly."

Lu Wenduan also pointed out that there are two phenomena that bring out the message that the Panmin will not give up the election easily: First, the Panmin has absorbed the lessons of the Legislative Council’s "general speech" and decided not to engage in the "general speech" even if faced with The large-scale DQ pan-democratic district councillors will not "resign in general" in order to defend the district council site and accumulate resources for future elections.

The second is that the regional work of some pan-democrats has not been slackened by some people advocating "election". From the community, we can see their competition for residents' organizations and the billboards promoting political achievements, and we can directly feel these pan-democrats. People will not give up the election lightly.

He finally said that he believes that the Panmin will definitely run for the election, but as to the format of the election, how the "old Panmin" and the "New Panmin" will run their respective campaigns remain to be seen.
