Democrats celebrate surprise success in Hong Kong elections
Jane Macartney in Beijing
Hong Kong voters gave opposition pro-democracy parties a surprise success in elections for the territory’s legislature today, ensuring they retained their veto power and influence over political reforms.
Firebrand law-maker Emily Lau and maverick activist “Long Hair” Leung Kwok-hung were among politicians from the array of parties that compose the pan-democratic camp who helped to clinch 23 out of the 60 seats.
The democrats themselves had said they hoped to win 21 seats – a decline from the 25 they took in the last elections four years ago. Their success in losing only two seats came in the most fiercely fought contest since Hong Kong reverted from British to Chinese rule in 1997.
Grandissima la Macartney che è lo zimbello dei bolgger cinesi in lingua inglese. Quelli del sito anti-CNN. Loro dicono che è una deficiente. Io non mi pronuncio. Dico solo che i "democratici" sono passati da 25 seggi a 23 seggi ma siccome dice la MC Cartney si aspettavano di averne 21 allora hanno vinto!!!
’Long Hair’ Leung Kwok-hung, a democrat, celebrates his win in the Hong Kong elections
Da notare che il "democratico" in questione ha la maglietta con l'effige di Che Guevara.
La Macartney è effettivamente deficiente.
