No, even they practiced democracy, it won't make the citizen smarter. If your point was valid, Chen Shui Bian won't be elected again after the first 4 years of bad governance, so is GW Bush. Did you even remember all those crazy scandal involved in those elections? Democracy is just an illusion to "majority rules", it is not about what's right or wrong. It is about who can deceive the most people. It is just a bunch of liars doing their lip service about a year before the election.
It's true that citizens were pushed to disparity in 2003, but you also need to understand they cannot blame everything to the HKSAR gov't. HKSAR didn't spread SARS, didn't brought Avian Flu to themsevles, everyone was pissed due to so many unfortunate incidents happened in such a short time and the economy plummeted as normal. The HKSAR gov't was not wise to promote such unpopular law at that moment, and they suffered the consequence already. Tung and Reginia resigned. PRC did not dare to bring it up again in near future.
For the case of GW Bush, I don't think it is nothing wrong for he got elected. You don't like him. This doesn't mean US people don't like him. I don't trust those biasd polls.
One of the reasons for Tung forced to resign probably was Jiang Zemin's resignation from Chairman of the Central Military Commission. Otherwise, Tung might be able to finish 10 years term.
Regina resigned not because of 500K protest on July 1st. Before July 1st, even 1470's 張無忌 said that Regina's friends knew that Regina planned to go to US with her daughter already. Don't be too naive that Chinese Communist Party would really care what HK citizens' needs. |
