Qu Yingyan, the "famous mouth" of the establishment, has repeatedly questioned the summer vacation arrangement of the Legislative Council, pointing out that the society will not be shut down, so why can the members of the legislature take two and a half months of summer vacation together and suspend the entire parliament.

The establishment "famous mouth" Qu Yingyan "took the opportunity" to cancel the 80th summer vacation of the parliamentarians?

The tradition of summer vacation can be traced back to the Legislative Council before the handover, which originally intended to allow British MPs and officials to return to the UK for "summer".

In the Legislative Council before the restructuring, the session began in October, and there was a summer vacation in mid-July of the following year. There was a two-and-a-half-month "summer" holiday between the two sessions.

The new term of the Legislative Council was rescheduled due to the election, and the session was rescheduled to start in January. The summer vacation occurred during the session in disguise, which violated the "Rules of Procedure" that "two consecutive meetings in the same session should not be separated by more than 6 weeks." In order to keep the tradition of "Long Shu" unchanged, the Legislative Council passed a motion last year before the "long holiday" to suspend the implementation of the relevant decision, removing the technical obstacles to "Long Shu".
