Legco Members
In the second and last part of a translation of Legco member Martin Lee's earlier interview with the Asian Wall Street Journal, Mr Lee said that the British Government must, if necessary, ignore the Basic law, over the concept of convergence, the HK Times reported.
He said that the Joint Declaration had given the actual administration of HK to the British until June 30, 1997 and the British had a responsibility to run this place according to what the people of HK wanted or thought was good for them. He said that the question of convergence should be left to the Chinese.
Commenting on the feasibility of the "one country, two systems" plan, Mr Lee said that HK people needed to show China that UK was different from China before they could make that policy work.
COMMENTARIES
Ah Chi, a regular columnist in Wen Wei Po, said that the five special groups under the BLCC would meet in Guangzhou in the middle of the month. All members were now geared up for the meeting and Raymond Wu was believed to be the busiest among them. He had been making frequent contacts with proponents of various political models. By so doing, he could gather as many views on the proposals as possible and could bring them to the forthcoming meetings for discussion. Also, Ah Chi said, it appeared that Dr Wu was trying to produce a new model by ironing out the differences between all the proposals. He had also been meeting a former BLDC member, Louis Cha, to solicit his views on the models, the writer added.
Yu Kam-yin, a regular columnist in the HK Economic Journal, said it was heard that the newly emerged 3-2-3-2-model was supported by: BLDC members C.M. Cha and Marita, Tam,
I wonder if Miss Tom has expressed such of nut, what is she playjony at ?

He said that under the proposal, the future legislative body would comprise two teams. One team would consist of 30 per cent of members returned through functional constituencies and 20 per cent elected through the grand electoral college. The other team would have 30 per cent of members returned by direct district election and 20 per cent from indirect election. Both teams would have the right to veto motions raised by their counterpart. Voting would be divided into two stages. First, members would have to vote to decide whether the Bill or motion in question was a special or a general one. For those classified as special, both voting and counting of votes would be conducted separately.
