When attending the opening ceremony of Leung Hee's office today (18th), Tsang Yok-sing pointed out that the mechanism of "improving the electoral system" can be extended to district councils to avoid the situation in 2019.


Regarding the departure of the chairman of the Electoral Management Committee, Feng Hua, the government has not announced the successor. Tsang Yok-sing pointed out that there is still a certain amount of time before the next election, and there is sufficient time to find a successor.


When asked if the district councils would change the composition method, Tsang Yok-sing pointed out that the elected district councils had been operating for a period of time. After the social incidents in 2019, the central government implemented "improving the electoral system" in Hong Kong. The qualification review mechanism can be fully extended to the District Council.

He believes the move can avoid the situation in 2019, where the opposition to the government wins a majority in parliament, making it impossible to function.

It is necessary to ensure that candidates uphold the Basic Law and allegiance to the SAR

It was mentioned that in the 2019 district council elections, the pro-establishment faction won about 40% of the votes, but only 10% of the seats. Tsang Yok-sing pointed out that it is not a problem for the DAB to lose a lot. The problem is that those who have already made up their minds to oppose the government Forces entered the parliament and accounted for the majority of the parliament. These anti-government camp members used the district council to coerce the government to accept political demands.

Referring to the simple majority single-seat system, he pointed out that any electoral system has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of a single-seat small constituency is that all voters know which member is selected by themselves and speak on their own behalf, and members can also respond to their own voters. Its service, the constituency of many seats will lose this simple and direct relationship.

Tsang Yok-sing believes that if candidates can be guaranteed to uphold the Basic Law and allegiance to the SAR, even if they use the original system, there is no big problem.

Regarding the lack of a chairman of the EAC after Feng Hua's resignation, whether it will be too late to hold the subsequent elections, Jasper Tsang pointed out that there is still a certain amount of time before the next election, and there is sufficient time to find a successor.

As for the front office exchange meeting, Tsang Yok-sing said it was inappropriate and would not comment on any practices of the current Legislative Council.
