ar the moment no Consensus on which ways it should be
changed?
MR MARTIN LEE: Well, you have to go for the majority view at
some stage. There will be no 100% consensus I can assure
you.
Omelco may try, but unless somebody points a gun at me,
even then I would rather die than give up.
MR EDWARD ROWLANDS: And in your view is the majority at
least the pace of democracy should be faster, though there is
a difference on the degree of speed?
MR MARTIN LEE: Yes, one talks about rushing into it and too
fast and so on, and one is inclined to forget that between
now and 1997 there are still eight years.
MR EDWARD ROWLANDS: But, we've heard quite a lot of
soundings, or people have told us that one of the reasons why
the Chinese are not willing to - or at the moment don't know
-
how to change this political model is because the lack of
any clear steer from Hong Kong, and that if there were a
steer, at least then there would be something for them to get
hold of. Given the fact that even the witnesses we've heard
and have come before us, that. there is quite a big
divergence, don't you think that there is a very considerable
danger now that no steer at all will be given and that
therefore this model will go through by default?
