put into an embarrassing situation if the BLDC sub-group openly
criticised the existing
political system.
Members of BLCC
sub-group on HK's political system: The SAR legislature should not be constituted entirely by direct elections and only a small proportion of the seats of the legislature should be directly elected. Elections through functional
constituencies and electoral colleges should be retained.
BLDC member Martin Lee: The question of how the SAR chief executive would be chosen was more important than that of whether direct elections to Legco would be introduced.
