REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT: PRESS STORIES
1.
THERE IS A PUZZLING ARTICLE BY HUGH DAVIES IN
TODAY'S DAILY TELEGRAPH SUGGESTING THAT BRITAIN AND CHINA ARE INFORMALLY DISCUSSING A PLAN FOR THE FUTURE GOVERNMENT OF HONG KONG AFTER 1997. HE SAYS THAT PEKING IS USING THE COMMUNIST PRESS IN HONG KONG TO FLOAT SUCH A IDEA. HE CLAIMS THE PLAN ENVISAGES DIRECT ELECTIONS, THE ABILITY OF A 75 PER CENT MAJORITY OF THE LEGISLATURE TO VETO THE ACTIONS OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE, AND A ONE HUNDRED SEAT SUPREME ADVISORY ASSEMBLY TO SELECT THE CHIEF
EXECUTIVE. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A GARBLED INTERPRETATION OF
SOMETHING FROM THE LEFT WING PRESS.
IS BASED?
HAVE YOU ANY IDEA ON WHAT IT
