At the end of the Legislative Council election, there were unexpected results in the 40-seat electoral committee. Sheng Zhiwen, the "father of Lan Kwai Fong," was overwhelmed by the heat. Stunned.
A few days before the election, it has been rumoured that there is no so-called "blessing list" in the political circle. Part of the election project is better than the "flat" candidates, but it is too late.
It can be seen that under the "free fight", the election committee can exercise "free will" to select the candidates of their choice. Relying on popularity or political and business influence alone is not enough to enter the game. If a candidate thinks that he is "invited" to participate in the election, it is tantamount to It is unrealistic to have "blessings".
Words must be "blessed" to arouse disgust from the election committee
The newly established Election Committee has 40 seats, attracting 51 people to stand for election. The candidates have a "brightly colored" background, including "turning track" members, think tank scholars, corporate executives, professionals and even grassroots representatives.
The director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office Xia Baolong pointed out earlier that the candidates for this election have backgrounds of "foreigners", Hong Kong people, Taiwanese-born people, bus captains, registered electricians, etc. Some people think they are "election tips", and those who are named have a high chance of being elected. As a result, most of the above-mentioned people were defeated, which was another "beautiful misunderstanding."
According to reports, some candidates used Xia Baolong's words as "blessings" and used them to promote themselves at the exchange meeting. Even on the day of voting, they still used it as an "opener" to canvass votes, which aroused the disgust of many election committees.
In fact, the fact that some people are encouraged to participate in elections does not mean that they can sit down and "lay flat" in the election, thinking that the authorities can easily enter the game with a "blessing list". Judging from the results, this is undoubtedly wishful thinking. .
Sheng Zhiwen lost the election in the electoral committee with a high number of votes, and the political circles were surprised.

Sheng Zhiwen was surprised when he fell to the political and business community
Among the unsuccessful candidates are many well-known candidates, such as heavyweight business people and Lan Kwai Fong Group Chairman Sheng Zhiwen.
Some politicians pointed out that Sheng Zhiwen was invited by the relevant parties to "fall into the water". After assessing his popularity and influence, he originally thought that he was "winner". I was surprised.
Some candidates analyzed that Sheng Zhiwen's election project in the past one and a half months was not "full ten", and some exchanges in some sectors have not been seen. It is estimated that Sheng Zhiwen may think that he has an "iron vote", and eventually he was elected with the last one. The difference was only 15 votes, and they lost in 43rd place.

Those who are elected need to "get it done"
Looking back at the electoral committee’s list of candidates, candidates with political party background are clearly dominant. Among them, the New Democratic Party won three of them, and together with direct elections in the region, they captured 5 seats. The major establishment parties, the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong and the Federation of Trade Unions, are also in the electoral committee. There were 5 seats and 3 seats respectively.
This is the first Legislative Council election after "perfecting the electoral system." The number of members has increased from 70 to 90. Although direct regional elections have been reduced to 20, the establishment political parties have benefited from the new electoral committee and their power has increased sharply. For example, the DAB has increased from the current 13 seats to 19 seats.
However, after the election, the most important thing is always how new members can solve the deep-seated contradictions in society and surrender their actual political achievements. If you only want to occupy a seat in the parliament in the next 4 years but have nothing to do and do nothing, it is difficult to guarantee that the system will change in a few years. , The number of seats in the "national team" is reduced, and it is immediately questionable whether the elected members can keep their seats.
