You do realize:
1- voting got implemented over there only a few years before the handover. It's a relatively new and fluid concept to them.
2- industries/businesses get to vote. These are increasingly owned by China
3- China maintains veto power for any political candidates
If only it were as simple as "just vote"
- throwaway1997 7y agoEven with our fake democracy, it's very common for people to buy votes from elderly people, who make up much of the population, and don't really understand democracy. We have a lot of poverty here so it's very easy to buy votes by just hosting a dinner at a average restaurant, telling the people all the wonderful plans you have for HK then giving them a trinket to help them remember to vote for you.
