be possible if I give you three of the and four of the fruits at night time?* happy so he says: "Well, what if I give you four in the morning and three in the evening?", The monkeys become very happy. So I think we really should concentrate on how the legislature is to be formed. If you think in 1997 we should not have any directly elected seats we should at least note that since' 13 appointed members are to be replaced, anyway, what seats should

Mr, Sohmen said that he is happy to hear that Mr Szeto

had said, indirectly elected seats include an element of democracy. 28 Well, that will really depend on one thing this is because at 29 least these indirectly elected people will be able to represent
some portion of the community. So when I talk about this, I really do not agree with Mr, Sohmen's idea in the past that we 32 should have more functional constituency seats. I think that
during the transitional period and even after 1997, es we may still need functional constituency seats but really because of 35 very, very special reasons. For example, we would like to keep 36 some talents or we would like to have special interests or groups
