revenue.
The band within which there is room for reasonable debate about the adequacy of all these programmes
Political change.
The need not to damage the present successful work and standing of the Legislative Council.
The bar to operation of the electoral process in whole or in part.
The alternative of 'participation' by development of grass-roots organizations and appointments from them to the Legislative Council.
