not for those who are too blinded by their so-called democratic values that they can't realize China is actually moving slowly towards a multi-party nation.  albeit a slow process, but nonetheless  ...

Nice to know that he is not attached to either party.
But in this kind of police state, it is very normal that another political storm, which can arise simply from personal greed, let alone people taking sides in the "King's Quest", will wipe out and back step this move.
Maintaining a high moral pressure by the public is beneficial to forewarn China relapse into chaos and totalitarianism, although this is a nimble force from the civilians, is always better than none.

thx for reply Rubber, now i know 1 other person in this forum who doesn't think everything revolves around a little 7m pop. city called Hong Kong.

i hope peer pressure won't cause these 2 (i hear there's another non-communist who was elected into a gov't position several months earlier) to budge from their non-partisan standpoints.  it really is a big step for such a backward thinking country to take, and in a far off sense, perhaps will ease the talks between China and North Korea in the future. (excuse me if i'm not clearer, on a tight schedule here)

I think the "non-partisan" standpoints are not an issue as they are more or less, a technical deployment rather than a political one.  I favor the use of the "pro-party" standpoint rather than "partisan" as for reason that "partisan" has real different interpretation in this forum and amongst forum members.
To this effect, I also hope Hong Kong can maintain its integrity, as an archive of historical events and a nurturing  ground for democracy ( where people are born equal ),  and a safe harbour for all those being oppressed.  Freedom is  something like air, you breath and you won't notice it, but if you are deprived from it, you suffocates.
