Chapter 469 "468" The Legislative Council criticizes King: Guan Zu vs Fei Peng!

"At this special historical node, we must make some key decisions to ensure that Hong Kong Island can continue to flourish and stabilize in the future, and at the same time protect the rights and interests of every Hong Kong Island citizen."

"First of all, I think the Legislative Council and the Chief Secretary must be separated, and the Chief Secretary cannot continue its previous operating model. Hong Kong Island has always been the executive-led, which makes the government have too much power in administration in the future. However, too much power can easily lead to a lack of sufficient diversity in decision-making and a broad public opinion basis, which poses potential risks to the long-term development of Hong Kong Island."

"Separating the power of the Legislative Council from the Chief Executive Office and amplifying power can build a more scientific power check and balance mechanism, so that the voices of all parties can be fully expressed, making decisions more democratic and scientific, and ultimately ensuring the fairness, justice, harmony and stability of Hong Kong Island society."

"The next step is to reform the electoral system. Optimization of functional groups and the implementation of individual voting can expand the scope of democratic participation, allow more voices from different classes and industries to integrate into the political process, and fully stimulate the vitality and creativity of Hong Kong society..."

“…”

5 minutes...

15 minutes...

30 minutes...

"Finally, the appointment seats will be cancelled and all district councils will be directly elected... It will give citizens greater voice, enhance citizens' sense of responsibility and belonging to the development of Hong Kong Island, and fundamentally build the cornerstone of Hong Kong Island's social stability..."

A half-hour speech, dignified, every word of citizens, every word of justice, every word of the future...

Many legislators nodded.

at last,

"Everything we have done is to make the future of Hong Kong Island better, so that every Hong Kong citizen can enjoy full rights on this land and realize his dreams."

Ending one sentence.

Fei Peng finished his speech, walked off the podium with a sincere smile on his face.

"OK."

Chairman John Smith smiled,

"Thank you very much to Mr. Governor for his far-sighted speech, which has painted us a promising future blueprint for Hong Kong Island."

He paused slightly, glanced at the audience,

"Next, let's enter the second discussion. All the members of the parliament are elite representatives from all walks of life in Hong Kong. Now, please speak freely."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire conference room suddenly became quiet.

Everyone's eyes turned to Guan Zu in unison.

Master John also looked at Guan Zu.

Everyone knows that they are just running away.

Gao Jin's six-member group: Zu Ge Niu Niu Niu~~~

Guan Zu sat in his seat, feeling everyone's eyes focused on him and his face was serious.

He grabbed the wheat and moved it to his mouth.

"Dear Mr. Governor, Dear Lord, Vice-Chairman, and all the members of parliament."

"Everyone knows that I am good friends with the Governor of Hong Kong and have a lot of personal relationships."

Fei Peng: “…………”

House of Representatives:"…………"

good friend?

You guys are almost typing the dog's brain!

"but!"

Guan Zu's face was serious and righteous:

"I like to discuss things on the ground. Friends are friends and official affairs are business. I feel deeply responsible for the political reform plan of the Governor of Hong Kong and have to raise some doubts and objections."

The sound suddenly became louder,

"first!"

"Looking back on the past, the Hong Kong and British governments have long implemented the dominant model on Hong Kong Island, with high power concentration. The Governor has almost absolute authority on Hong Kong Island, and it is not an exaggeration to be called the 'Hong Kong Island Emperor'. Now, the Governor of Hong Kong has suddenly vigorously advocated democratic reforms, and this transformation is too abrupt."

"In the past, it has not been able to fully implement the concept of democracy, but now it is suddenly proposed such a large reform. It is difficult not to question the real motivation behind it. Such a sudden change is difficult to be convinced."

Guan Zu paused slightly and his eyes glanced at the audience.

Fei Peng's face slightly sank, picked up the microphone and responded: "Mr. Guan said this is wrong. The times are developing, and Hong Kong Island also needs to follow the trend of history. The past model was based on the environment at that time. Now we have seen the importance of democratic development, so we actively promote reforms. This is for the long-term future of Hong Kong Island. How can we question our motivations?"

Guan Zu looked serious: "Mr. Governor of Hong Kong, it is true that he follows the trend, but reform should not be a sharp turn without any preparation. Under the system of power concentration for many years, democracy has weak foundations. At this time, it is like building a high-rise building on the beach. The foundation is unstable, so how can we talk about the long-term future?"

"Furthermore, everything needs to be steadily transitioned, and the same is true for reform. The Hong Kong Governor's plan is too big and it is very easy to cause chaos. Take the separation of the Legislative Council and the Executive Bureau as an example. The executive-led model has been operating in Hong Kong for many years and has long formed a relatively stable pattern and process."

"Rashly breaking this pattern and redistribution of power will definitely lead to poor coordination among government departments and a significant decline in administrative efficiency, which will ultimately affect the normal operation of Hong Kong society and the living order of the people."

Fei Peng frowned and said firmly: "I think there may be some running-in in the short term, but in the long run, it will greatly improve the scientificity and fairness of people's livelihood decisions."

Guan Zu shook his head gently, his tone heavier: "Mr. Governor, no matter how perfect the planning is, it is difficult to avoid chaos in actual operations. Who will bear the loss of efficiency caused during this period? How can the interests of the people be guaranteed?"

Fei Peng: “…………”

What a big hat, I just snapped off.

Guan Zu continued, speaking fiercely: "In addition, reducing the age of voters to 18 seems to have expanded the scope of democratic participation, but most 18-year-old young people are just adults, have shallow social experience, and their political cognition and judgment abilities are not mature enough, which will affect the fairness and rationality of the election results."

"In my opinion, this move is more harmful than good!"

When the members of the Representatives heard this, they nodded one after another.

Putting aside the two camps, what Guan Zu said is indeed very reasonable, rather than being nonsense and refuting in order to refute.

Of course, this is also the reason why many congressmen agree with Guan Zu.

Squirt, but it makes sense.

Fei Peng coughed lightly and said, "Young people are the future of Hong Kong Island. Giving them the right to vote is to allow them to participate in social construction earlier and cultivate their sense of civic awareness and responsibility. We can guide them to make rational choices through education and publicity."

Guan Zu sneered: "Mr. Hong Kong Governor, can education and publicity change young people's cognition in the short term? Before civic awareness and political literacy are generally improved, the risk is far greater than the benefit."

Guan Zu talked about some loopholes in the political reform plan.

With a lot of ease and reasonableness, it can be seen that Guan Zu was prepared for this.

And at this time,

Fei Peng sat there, his face still changing, but he felt a little less of the smile he had just now.

"at last!"

Guan Zu's voice is loud:

"I don't think it's appropriate to cancel the appointment seats and fully implement direct elections in the district council..."

“To a certain extent, the appointed seats can absorb talents from all walks of life who are experienced and capable but may not be good at running for elections into the district council and provide professional advice and suggestions for regional development.”

"The complete abolition of the appointment seat and relying solely on direct elections may make the decisions of the district council lack comprehensiveness and make it difficult to effectively solve the various complex problems faced by Hong Kong Island."

Fei Peng took a deep breath and said, "Direct elections can better reflect public opinion and allow those who truly represent the people to enter the district council. If those capable people really want to serve Hong Kong Island, they can fully demonstrate their strength through the campaign."

Guan Zu looked at Fei Peng with a sharp look: "Mr. Governor of Hong Kong, the election requires resources, connections and popularity, which is unfair to some people who are truly capable but lack these conditions. The existence of the appointment seats is to make up for this deficiency and ensure that the decisions of the district council can integrate opinions from multiple parties, rather than being controlled by the campaign experts only..."

at last,

Bang~~~~

Guan Zu slapped the table suddenly.

His voice is intense, and every word is sonorous:

"In the past hundred years of leading the British to rule Hong Kong Island, have you ever given the real people of Hong Kong Island citizens, by*?"

"No! Not in a day!"

His voice echoed in the conference room with unquestionable power.

"But now? Hong Kong Island is about to return, but suddenly it is 'compassionable' and is going to send 'freedom' to Hong Kong Island?"

"Hahaha……"

Guan Zu raised his head and laughed. The laughter contained endless irony.

"You are just trying to disrupt the situation in Hong Kong Island before leaving! Are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf!"

At this moment, the whole audience fell into death silence.

The air seemed to have frozen, and everyone held their breath.

Needle,

It can be heard when landing!

All the members of the parliament were shocked. No one expected Guan Zu to be so direct and so bold and unreserved.

Too bad!

No one dared to speak for fear of causing dissatisfaction with the Governor of Hong Kong.

At this time, Fei Peng's face instantly turned red, his fists were clenched, and his knuckles turned white due to the force.
