The Prime Minister might wish to draw on the following points (which have been agreed with the Governor):
LegCo shortly to embark on an important debate.
Heavy responsibility on the shoulders of LegCo
members to make decisions in the best interests of
Hong Kong.
Note from CRC position paper some points of
disagreement with the Governor's proposals. Hope you will develop these general points into specific
alternatives.
We fully support the Governor's proposals. Our best judgement of how to meet the wish of Hong Kong
people for more say in their own affairs. Pleased
to see polls still show 2:1 support of the community. Note LegCo have also twice passed general motions supporting the proposals.
Have made clear all along these are proposals. Willing to consider the views of others, provided that elections will be open, fair and acceptable to Hong Kong people.
The Governor will be putting proposals to LegCo when he has completed consultation with ExCo. He will also be publishing a compendium of others' proposals. Up to LegCo to reach final decision. Will accept their judgement.
