elections to LegCo were in 1991. (By this time, after the 1989 events in Tiananmen Square, many people in Hong Kong wanted more democracy.) The present Legislative Council now has 18 members
elected directly from 9 two-member constituencies; 21 elected
indirectly from functional constituencies; 18 members appointed
by the Governor and 3 ex-officio officials. For the first time
LegCo has a majority of elected members: 39 out of 60.
