The nomination period for the seventh Legislative Council election officially kicked off last Saturday (October 30).
It is understood that because this is the first legislative election after the NPC deputies have rarely changed Hong Kong’s electoral system, Beijing eagerly hopes that Hong Kong will have a new atmosphere of governance. It once returned to the Western Ring Road to request a re-planning of the formation of troops. Wan Jiao must get rid of the constraints of human relations and interests, and actively allow more "new people to replace the old", and encourage them to use new thinking to solve the deep-seated contradictions in Hong Kong.
It is expected that more "unexpected newcomers" will appear one after another, including members of the Hong Kong drifting political group.

West Loop to mediate the struggle within the establishment
After the new electoral system was decided by the National People’s Congress, revised by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, and completed the local legislation by the SAR government, a small “competition dispute” broke out in the establishment as early as the middle of the year. However, it was quickly mediated by the Western District and asked the Hong Kong governors on the table to concentrate on doing it. Those who are good at their jobs and who have not come to the surface wait for the opportunity to play in a low-key manner.
A few months later, the new Legislative Council elections kicked off without much noise. Since the nomination period started last Saturday, many newcomers who have not served as members of the Legislative Council have signed up for the election. Among them are many people with professional research backgrounds, such as Unity Hong Kong Foundation Golden Yuanshan, "Basic Law" expert Li Haoran, historian Liu Zhipeng, and director of the National Hong Kong and Macau Research Association Huang Ziqian.
Many Hong Kong members of the All-China Youth Federation (All-China Youth Federation) who have received early national recognition will also go to Malaysia one after another, including Huo Qigang, Lin Lin, Xie Xiaohong, Tan Zhenguo, Liang Hongzheng, Liang Yuwei, and Chen Yingxin.
Regardless of whether they are "capable", they are indeed "new faces", and their performance in governing Hong Kong needs further verification.
According to the news, some "newcomers" were not prepared to run for the election, but they "received blessings" temporarily last week. They could only rush to contact the election committee for nomination. It is expected that there will be more "unexpected newcomers" in the next few days. "Appeared one after another.

Beijing is eagerly looking forward to the newcomers coming to govern Hong Kong
The reason for this setback was that after Xihuan reported to Beijing for the formation of troops earlier, it was sent back to request a re-planning, and it was clearly emphasized that the principle of "Patriots governing Hong Kong" must be upheld and the director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office Xia Baolong opposed The "five good" standards put forward by the "those who can govern Hong Kong" actively allow more "new people to replace the old", hoping to create a new atmosphere in Hong Kong's governance.
Moreover, Beijing has also urged the West Loop to get rid of the existing constraints of human relations and interests in the past, start from the actual needs of Hong Kong, replenish new blood for the team of patriotic and capable Hong Kong governors, and let some people be able to connect with the national thinking. Newcomers who break the limitations of regional development and dare to break the contradictions of vested interests will go to battle and do a good job in "Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong."

Determined to break the dualism of the establishment and pan-people
As a result, the West Loop had to change its original layout. Not only did it replace with more young, professional, and "black storm" new faces, it was also willing to accept some spontaneous political groups to compare with traditional seed players. High and low, and even more relaxed attitudes towards moderate pan-democrats with different political stances-hoping to completely break the duality of the establishment of the pan-democracy through the pursuit of "the capable of ruling Hong Kong" and jointly shape democratic elections with Hong Kong characteristics The benign competition order and rational political pattern.
It is understood that the new political group "Hong Kong New Directions" established by a large number of Hong Kong drifters in October 2019 will send members to participate in direct regional elections, and has been nominated as a "super heavyweight" election committee, but another newly established Hong Kong The "Bauhinia Party", a drifting party, has a slim chance of running for the election.
In addition, Lu Hanmin, who used to be the former chairman of the Democratic Party, Emily Liu, is an assistant to Lin Jianyue, the current chairman of the Pakatan Harapan Supervisory Board, and Wu Jiezhuang, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, who studied for a doctorate at Tsinghua University, are all gearing up.
In addition, there will be at least one moderate pan-popular with a better image to overcome all difficulties and take a crucial step for Hong Kong citizens to return to pragmatism and rationality.
