Election

Being a minority group, I am all against general election (unless I become the majority, of course).

Do you seriously believe election means a fair system ? Look at the NBA: Yao Ming got the highest vote for two years - not by any extraordinary performance, but by the extraordinary group of immigrants. What do you think would happen if these people could elect the leader in their home country ?

Take another example from our home city. Does Mrs Chan mean democracy ? Well, nearly half of it - no demo, just crazy. Yes, Mrs Yip is all against democracy. (It is a pity that she doesn't come out and declare her view openly.) Nonetheless, the enemy of someone against democracy does not mean that this enemy is democracy. A people that fail to appreciate this simple logic should - and could - hardly be gifted with a civilized political system.
