The Hong Kong SAR government unveiled its long-awaited political reform proposals, which - if passed in Legislative Council - will allow Hongkongers to choose our own chief excutive for the first time in 2017. Opposition "pan-democrats", however, have vowed to veto the proposed electoral package that will be voted upon in the legislature this summer.
香港政改進入關鍵時刻，剛出台的政改方案，經過一年多時間，兩輪政改公眾諮詢，按照全國人大常委會「8．31」決定的框架和香港基本法而制定，是一個合憲、合法、合情、合理的方案，並在符合本港實際情況下，以循序漸進的方式推進，是有利於香港的長遠發展及國家利益的一個方案。
The proposal outlined that the nominating procedures of the Nomination Committee (NC) shall be divided into two stages, namely the stage of "members recommendation" and the stage of "committee nomination". The candidates hoping to run must first be voted for by members of the nominating committee. The persons seeking nomination and obtain the highest number of endorsement of more than half of all the NC members could formally become candidates. The candidates that make it through will then run for election by the general population of more than five million eligible voters.
特區政府提出提名階段分為「委員推薦」及「委員會提名」兩個階段，提名委員會的提名方式，可以同時產生至少兩名、但不多於三名獲得提名委員會全體委員過半數支持的候選人，然後由全港合資格選民從提名委員會提名的二至三名候選人，以「一人一票」選出行政長官人選。這個建議可讓香港人選出有廣泛代表性的行政長官，這是一個香港人期待以久的普及而平等的選舉方案。
立會應依民意投票
A recent poll indicated that more than 60 percent of Hongkongers feel the Legislative Council should pass the government's political reform package while 30 percent disagree. About 83.3 percent say the legislature should heed public opinion and 63.7 percent say they are pessimistic about the prespect of universal suffrage if the reform package is to be rejected.
Let's siege the opportunity to strive for the implementation of universal suffrage for the election of the Chief Executive in 2017. I do believe the majority of the people in Hong Kong cannot wait to see this happened. I am here to call for the "pan democrats" to join us on the effort to take a step forward.
筆者見到不少民調都反映大多數市民支持2017年可以一人一票普選特首，約有六成一受訪者認為立法會應通過方案，使到2017年可以一人一票普選特首，期望「泛民」議員尊重市民的意見，放棄「不理民意，一意孤行否決人大」的態度，作出負責任的決定，投票支持政改方案。■陳威雄 青年民建聯副主席、民建聯財經及教育事務副發言人
