You may think my discussion on the old Chinese political system irrelevant. That may be true - unless you begin to see what's going around.

Alas, why does certain Mr. Tsang face so much difficulty ?

Putting it back to our algorithm, local government policies are:

• proposed by our dear Donald and his civil servants
• endorsed by the Legislative Council
• executed, again, by the civil servants

You see, the Council is the king of the Ming empire (or the bottleneck of administration, if you like). Well, I'm not saying the policies are good or bad, but much energy is wasted in the conflict between civil servants and our noble council members - half of which from the opposition, while the other half hijackers.

On the other hand, in the old colonial government, members of the Legislative Council were either senior civil servants or people appointed by the governor - there was no conflict what so ever.

Again, I shall not soil my hands and join the discussion of general election here.
