Hong Kong Island District Councillors swore an oath last Friday that the Government "Liang Jian" DQ 7 District Councillors yesterday (15th), including Wan Chai District Council Chairman Yang Xueying and Democratic Party Eastern District Council Member Su Yiheng.
The common point of the 7 people who were DQ was related to the democratic primary elections. Each of them had participated in the primary elections or lent their office as a voting station.
Democratic Party Chairman Law Kin-hee stated on the RTHK program today (16) that he believes that DQ is indeed related to the primary election, but pointed out that the "negative list" of DQ district councillors can be interpreted indefinitely by the government and described these as "good clips". The hard reason", although the DQ district councillors did give the "red line" more references this time, it may change at any time in the future.

Describe the "red line" can be changed at any time
Luo Jianxi pointed out that for the time being, I believe that the difference between DQ and whether it is related to the primary elections of the democratic parties. However, he is concerned that the government's so-called "negative list" is extremely vague in its definition, such as "it is quite possible to harm the overall interests of Hong Kong." There is no definition at all, and it can be deduced infinitely by the government authorities. Even the resignation of the chief executive in accordance with the accountability system can become a reason for DQ at any time. He described this as a "good reason."
He pointed out that although 7 councillors were DQ this time, everyone has referenced the "red line", but believes that the government itself has the responsibility to publicly state clear criteria, and what are the reasons for accepting or not accepting it? This is the basic expectation of the public for the government. .
Luo also pointed out that now that everyone observes the difference between DQ or not, it is only "one's own estimation." The government does not make public statements for one day, "will there be a new line drawn on the next day?"
DQ is expected to have little influence on the party's election decision
The DQ district councillors are influencing the Democratic Party's consideration of participating in the end-of-year legislative council elections. Law Kin-hee thinks that the influence is not too big, because there is only more than a week left, and I believe party members have made a general decision.
He mentioned that the Secretary of Home Affairs Xu Yingwei, who is in charge of the DQ, is a member of the Candidate Qualification Review Committee. There may be similar criteria when reviewing the qualifications of candidates for Legislative Council elections in the future, but he frankly admits that this cannot be done. Sure, other officials will have more ideas at any time.
Seven district councillors on Hong Kong Island were sworn invalid by the DQ, including the chairman of the Wan Chai District Council Yang Xueying.
