7. The main aims of the proposals are--

(a) to develop progressively a system of government the authority for which

is firmly rooted in Hong Kong, which is able to represent authorita_l

the views of the people of Hong Kong, and which is more directly accountable to the people of Hong Kong;

(b) to build this system on our existing institutions, which have served Hong Kong well, and, as far as possible, to preserve their best features, including the maintenance of the well established practice of government by consensus; and

(c) to allow for further development if that should be the wish of the

community.
