何去何從?


人大常委會對普選之決定已呼之欲出。二○一二普選被否決,二○一七亦沒有具體承諾、遙不可及,已成定局。中央及特區政府繼續以民建聯及自由黨為擋箭牌,以他們反對為否決普選理由。○四年如是、○七如是、相信一二及一七亦如是。
就算是一二的政制改動空間,也是微不是道:分組點票、直選與功能組別比例不變,總之是什麼也沒有。唯一可能可以改動的,是功能組別的選舉辦法。但這些改動也極之有限,不會達至間接直選。
既無對話、也無對策,我們可以做甚麼?這種既無助又憤怒的感覺,老是揮之不去!
有民主派同事建議全部請辭,甚至拒絕參與立法會選舉。但若立法會沒有民主派,如何為惡法把關?如何爭取進一步民主?
我們應否以放棄作為抗爭起點?應否辭職?明年應否拒絕參選?
請你們給一些看法、一些意見......

no, pan democrats should not resign nor boycott the 2008 election.

if there are bigger gains than losses in pushing for democracy in hk by resigning or boycotting, you definitely should, but if these actions are only a gesture or an impulsive reaction, it will do no good to hk's democracy development.

you are elected to the seat by the people, you are expected to finish your full office term, doing what you have promised your voters.

you should continue run next year, not for the sake of simply retaining democrats' presence in the legislature, but for showing people who support democracy in hk that you are a true fighter, even if democrats end up with fewer and fewer seats in coming legco terms.

resigning or boycotting would be seen as the last resort, and after that, what more could be done? collective suicide?

if you truly believe in what you preach, you should stick to it, even if you end up the only "opposition" legislator in legco. nothing should change your belief in pursuing democracy.

compromise, as the govt has been calling for since the npcsc decision last week, should only be made when there's gain. if the govt were to only table a revised 2005 proposal, then hell with it. vote no!

Ronny,2008新年進步!很同意Lee的說法‧香港人現時仍處於比較短視的階段,股市樓市賺得到,其他就沒有意欲去爭取,若果可以的話,多以經濟問題分析港人現時隱藏著的危機‧http://tw.epochtimes.com/bt/7/12/18/n1946699.htm香港時事評論員林保華(筆名凌鋒)認為,它(中共)的政策一變,香港就不行了,所以那個股市、什麼股市自由行,直通車,股市漲幾千點。然後過兩個月,(中共總理)溫家寶說那個直通車不能弄了,馬上股市又掉幾千點。香港的股市金融中心,這樣一下子就變成了共產黨的金融中心,港人就沒看到這一點。我覺得民主派對這個經濟問題是比較少介入,他們比較關心政治,經濟上的問題比較少分析給百姓看。

Thank you both for your invaluable comments. I have steadfastly refused any suggestions of boycott or resigning as a protest action. Under the present voting system, not only will such action be costly to the people but will only allow the other side more seats.
Politics is about power. If you have no seat then you have no power. That is why I always regard running as a must. The question is, do we have new blood to continue the fight?
