政綱比併?


回歸以來,首次一場非「君子之爭」的小圈子特首選舉,焦點一直放在抹黑炒作之上。撇開何俊仁不談,究竟有誰看過兩位中央「認許」候選人之政綱?這星期日便是選舉日了。雖然市民無法影響最終結果,但對未來五年特區首長的政治立場和管治理念也應來個了解,最少也要有心理準備,未來的日子將會是怎樣。

在香港核心價值上,唐梁兩人均是欲言又止。唐英年在政綱第四節以「推動民主 落實普選」為題,雖然表面上政綱沒有迴避這重要課題,但內容卻並無具體說明他將如何推動民主、落實普選。儘管如此,他總算有應邀出席普選聯主辦的政制論壇,並公開承諾會盡力爭取於二○一七年設立一個最開放、公平及不高於現時之行政長官選舉提名門檻。相對而言,梁振英之政綱卻對如何落實普選隻字不提。莫說競選承諾,連立場也沒有!

至於本港最逼切的貧富懸殊問題,唐英年建議成立由政務司司長統籌的「社會共融委員會」,訂立扶貧政策,研究及制訂政策,提升社會流動;在退休保障方面,他建議為合資格長者發放每月三千元退休津貼,以及承諾即時展開全民退休保障之研究和討論。而梁振英方面,雖然他一再展示出一套親民形象,但他的扶貧政策只可說是政府現行政策之延續,仍然以重設扶貧委員會為中心思想。

在各人極為關心的環保政策方面,梁振英的政綱只是說:「採納世界衞生組織的『空氣質素指引』為長期目標」;唐英年則以「低碳環保城市」為題,建議全面落實推行更新空氣質素指標,最終達致世衞標準。

在現時各界討論焦點的人口政策方面,唐英年表示當選後會定期檢討人口政策和相關措施,包括「雙非」兒童來港對社會資源的需求、利用配額制度限制內地孕婦來港產子、公共醫院不應再接受內地孕婦預約及設懲罰性措施,建議把「闖關」孕婦資料通知內地部門,令其兩年內不獲發旅遊證件來港。而梁振英方面,則以人口政策為政綱之第一步,建議「全面評估『雙非』孕婦來港產子對香港的承受能力」及「押後訂定二○一三年『雙非』孕婦在私家醫院產子的配額」,亦建議公立醫院於二○一三年停止接受「雙非」孕婦產子。

在房屋方面,梁振英只是倡議,把政府早已公布之五年興建七萬五千間公屋之時間表提前一年落實;而唐英年則建議在這七萬五千間公屋之外,加建四萬個「資助單位」,但這建議如何落實,卻不得而知。其他方面,兩者之政綱均可說只是大致上為現行政府之一貫政策;特別在經濟營商方面,兩人之建議皆以傾斜於商界為主,對香港地產霸權、以商欺民所產生之社會矛盾、消費者及小市民之經濟權益等逼切問題一概避而不談,輕輕帶過。

  由此可見,整體而言,唐梁之政綱均頗為空泛。相比於個別政黨每年就《施政報告》諮詢提交政府之建議,更是相形見絀,較為失色。兩位候選人把全副精神放在攻擊對方及自身誠信作辯上,缺乏深入探討特區之種種深層次矛盾,似是當然之事。也許應該說這是小圈子選舉之既有特色。星期天,你對選舉結果又能有何期望?

To use Zhiang Zhimin's expression: you are sometimes naive. Do any of these candidates have to present an agenda to get elected? Are you kidding me or just yourself? They have only have to please one master. Guess who?

This CE election gives you some idea what kind of agenda you should invest your time and energy in preparation for your own September Legco election. As Regina Ip said,somewhat cynically about the last CE election, this is not an election in a western democratic sovereign nation. Your own September election is a H K election with undemocratic characteristics. Don't blindly follow the western model. Tailor it to suit the H K landscape.

It is anticipated that to reduce or eliminate opposition in the Legco, the pro-government parties will try to get more legislators into the assembly in the September election. They can achieve this better because their grass-root preparation seem better organized. They can vote en bloc. The liberals whether they are civic party or democratic party members tend to be more loose and free-spirited.

Neither Tang nor Leung needs any agenda. The verdict of their so-called contest is already decided by the sovereign master who designed the One Country Two Systems.

Next time before you write, please ponder over this: are you a journalist, an advocate, a politician or what. Each category write with a different agenda. Make sure your writing serves your purpose.
