分手

汽車的音響系統傳來一陣西門與加芬高的歌聲: 「在那空地上站著一位拳手;他的職業是戰鬥,他身上掛著很多提醒他的傷痕:每一次他被擊中倒下、每一次他蒙受損傷,都令他憤怒而羞愧地高喊: 『我要離開!我要離開!』但這戰士還是留下……」這是多大的諷刺!我甚至有點憎恨這首歌!為什麼他不可以離開?

花了一段時間說服別人,我的創黨中心理念一直是以達至執政黨為目標、以理性務實的態度來議政、以爭取社會公義為己任。什麼時候這創黨中心理念卻已無聲無息地隨風而逝? 是我抓不住它,還是它走得太快?還是我太天真,以為這理念是大眾的共識?

社會要有理性討論確實不易。首先,討論要建基於對課題的一定了解和認識;單憑感覺或主觀的討論是沒有意義的。也許社會還沒有走到這階段。我們的政黨,特別是民主派的政黨均是脆弱的、基礎浮淺的,是事事要依賴民意而立足的;但民意卻偏偏飄忽不定。這教政黨在社會缺乏理性討論下怎能不左搖右擺?

分手是容易的;但也是決絕的。分了手問題便得以解決嗎?再回頭收拾舊山河,人有多少歲月、多少忍耐、多少堅持,才能做到?我自問是一個在哪裏倒下,在哪裏站起來的人,但再站起來不代表已戰勝了厄運;這只代表着有機會再被擊倒。也許答案是民主派應該團結,但還未團結便已四分五裂,哪來合作的機遇?民主派愈多黨派、愈多不同意見,聲音愈弱小。如何走出谷底?今天要的不是分手,而是結合。但這一刻又有誰能共鳴?不期然想起了岳飛的一段詞: 「莫等閒, 白了少年頭, 空悲切!」

You sound like you have a dysfunctional marriage with your fellow democrats. If you can't stand the heat, don't be a politician. I have not read so much pessimistic nonsense from a so-called politician. How are you going to get votes if you are so circumspect about what you are doing? A politician is by definition a motivational speaker. Look at our American politicians, even if they are sent to jail or being impeached, they will still face the camera and say: I will come back.

You think a politician is a folk singer. Listen to our Chairman Mao: starting a revolution is not like inviting guests for a banquet. Roll up your shirt sleeves and work at it. Being a good barrister and making big money corrupts your mind as a street-smart politician.

May be you feel happier after you quit instead of pondering the pros and cons.

ask not what you can do for your party. ask what your party can do for you. The party I mean is not the kind of party where you play your guitar and sing those lousy songs.

The lawyers of Hong Kong should speak up against Lew Mon-hung's advocating that judges should be more involved in his "One Country" endearment. This additional political requirement for appointment is a dangerous precedent to be followed.
