Why move away from the double-seat double-vote system?
As the Chinese side will no doubt be aware,
there were widespread criticisms of "coat-tail
effect" in 1991 LegCo elections.
Such criticisms put the fairness of the
electoral process in doubt. Therefore believe it sensible to move to a system which is clear
and more widely recognised by the public as
fair.
Why not multi-seat single-vote?
We have, at all three tiers of representative
government, always been operating on the principle that an elector should be given as
as there are seats. Adopting
multi-seat single-vote will go completely against this principle in reducing the electors' voting rights. The community will not accept
many
this.
