Hong Kong Civic Party yesterday made the proposal that in order to fight for universal suffrage, the pan-democratic alliance, which holds 23 seats in the Legislature, should quit together. What a Don Quixotic suggestion.
Nickname the "Rich Party", the legislative councillors from Hong Kong Civic Party would not suffer any economic hardship by quitting the "debating forum", as they are barristers or professional-sort-of. However, they should be compassionate with others situation.
Taking Wong Sing Chi of the Democratic Party of Hong Kong as an example. He once lost his seat in the Legislature and has said that his live was difficult then. His wife was a chronic patient and his son was young. So, could he bear the idea of losing his seat and the huge income again? Remember, everything is expensive in Hong Kong.
And without a second guess, Fung Kin Kee, the representative from ADPL opposed the move. He said the suggestion itself has not been enquired and thus it was undemocratic. Fung is claimed to be a registered social worker. If he waives his seat, it may not be that easy for him to find a job in the field of social work. Recalling the example of YWCA, which Tsang Tak Shing was suspected to intercept its internal affairs recently.
According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, without the physiological need to be fulfilled, how can we talk about self-actualization, something like universal suffrage or democracy?
