The Legislative Council election will be held this Sunday (19th). In an interview with "Hong Kong 01", Chairman Di Zhiyuan, who has played a "non-organized" attitude in the social welfare sector, said that it is difficult to assess the voter turnout rate, but he believes that the atmosphere of the election is better than in the past. Strong for one to two weeks, cautiously optimistic about the election situation, but denied any claims that he was "settled six times".
Di Zhiyuan recently put forward the "Hundred Days Pledge", including moving a motion debate in the Legislative Council to request the resumption of political reform, and meeting with the Secretary for Home Affairs, requesting that all district councillors be directly elected.
Some people pointed out that the proposal is neither binding, the establishment can also propose amendments to change the bill, and questioning its promise has no practical effect. He pointed out that democracy has always been struggling from the cracks. If the establishment prevents him from proposing a reopening of political reforms. By then, he will become a "mirror mirror", proving that the establishment does not really support democracy.

Being teased as "Hundred Days Restoration" Di: It is said that we should bear the responsibility
Di Zhiyuan pointed out that it is not easy for the Legislative Council to propose a motion to discuss the resumption of political reform. It is expected that it will be obstructed by the establishment. The fight for democracy is all about fighting in the cracks and doing it every inch."
He also pointed out that if the motion is obstructed by the establishment, it can reflect that the establishment does not really support democracy. "At least we (the democrats) have a voice, and then act as a mirror to see that the establishment does not really support democracy."
He said that he would continue to lobby the central government to implement universal suffrage.
Some "Huang Ying" people ridiculed that the "Hundred Days Pledge" might end in failure like the "Hundred Days Reform" in the late Qing Dynasty. Di Zhiyuan pointed out that many foreign governments would put forward 100-day goals, and many goals could be successfully implemented. Make a promise that people will listen to us with commitment and do things practically, and not "speak generously"."

If half of the pan-pop supporters vote for non-establishment candidates, "enough to win"
Di Zhiyuan said that the election atmosphere in the past week has become strong. "Nowadays, people at Baijie Station will talk to us about cheering, hard work, "I will vote for you." But I think there is no basis to estimate the turnout rate.
As for the personal election situation, he described it as "cautiously optimistic," emphasizing that it is not "settled by six," and that if the turnout rate is extremely low, pan-democratic candidates may be defeated by the establishment of an iron vote.
As for the election of non-organizationalists, Di Zhiyuan pointed out that in the past, the votes of the pan-democrats and the establishment have maintained a golden ratio of 64. It is expected that the establishment supporters, who account for 40% of the overall voters, will vote in an empty group, but two candidates will share the vote. The votes are divided. On the other hand, there is only one non-organizational candidate in many districts. If the turnout rate is "not too bad," as long as half of the pan-democratic supporters vote, the non-organizational candidate is "enough to win."
He said frankly that it’s hard to predict how many pan-democratic supporters will vote, but he said: "Last Saturday, I went to Tuen Mun and Yuen Long for a float parade. Many citizens said to me: "You can't be the same." There are many reactions. Huh."
Criticizing Lam Cheng and Tan Huizhu for "nonsense": low voter turnout reflects dissatisfaction with the system
Chief Executive Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, Deputy Director of the Basic Law Committee Tan Huizhu and others successively pointed out that the low turnout rate is not a problem. Among them, Tan Huizhu believes that votes should not be used to establish the acceptability of elected candidates. The acceptability should come from political achievements and citizens' well-being.
Di Zhiyuan bluntly said "all the nonsense," describing the statement as merely doing a good job of expectation management for the low turnout rate and justifying it. In addition, the low turnout rate is beneficial to the establishment of elections.
Candidates from the social welfare sector include Di Zhiyuan, Zhu Liling and Ye Zhanxi.
