We are not satisf- fed, we cannot be satisfied, with a constitution which disfranchises practically every man who fought in the war. Men who in the United Kingdom have a voice in shaping the very destinies of the Empire come here and find them- selves voteless on the purely municipal matters which come be- fore our Legislative Council here. I go even further than the learned mover of those resolutions, by saying that out Legislative Coun- cil is not only practically a Municipal Council: it is a Muni- cipal Council and nothing else, and it has not all the powers of some of the Municipal Councils at home, nor of the Municipal Coun- cfi in Shanghai.
