The nomination period for the Legislative Council election is half past. Although there are very few democrats, the election campaign is not a boring one.

With the multi-party participation of the establishment and competitive demands, there have been a large number of unexpected "news" in the elections this time. There are three things to watch out for.


One is the active participation of emerging political groups and professionals.

With the addition of a large number of newcomers, it is foreseeable that the Legislative Council will abandon the previous political party-led operation mode and get rid of the shackles of regional populism or sectoral interests.

The second is that the Chinese-funded "national team" has become a new force that cannot be ignored.

The third is that there will be "real competition" in the functional constituencies. Many incumbent members face challenges and can no longer "lie flat" to be elected.
