DEMOCRACY

A vastly over-commented subject I know, but it did occur to me that the current furore in Taiwan, involving mass protests and riots following the recent election there, and the ludicrous claims that the shooting of the president was staged, is only going to make Beijing even less likely to allow any change to the current system here in Hong Kong.

And frankly, if there was a chance the scenes from Taiwan would be repeated here then I'm on Beijing's side. People shouldn't have democracy until they are able to accept the possibility of losing an election as well as winning it.
