I support the aim of the Green Paper to develop
progressively a system of government the authority for
which is firmly rooted in Hong Kong, which is able to
represent authoriatively the views of the people of
Hong Kong, and which is more directly accountable to the
people of Hong Kong. Direct or indirect election will only
help us to achieve this aim. We should in fact rely on the
unanimous support of all the people. From the impression
I gather through contacts with the people at the grass-roots
level, their major concern is to go on working hard to
enable themselves and their families to live a better life.
Hence they hope that Hong Kong will continue to enjoy
properity and stability. The proposals in the Green
Paper are heading for this direction, thereby fulfilling
their wishes too. That is why I think they will accept the
proposals more readily than others.

Sir, with these remarks, I support the motion.
