香港 普選了會怎樣

我對香港普選後，發展成怎樣，本無興趣。
但看了樓主給人揄辱，忍不住就發表以下意見：1. 如果普選就像小學生選班長，不選也吧！2.如果普選選了另一個「長毛」出來當特首，香港還不散嗎？
以下是我對樓主的問題的看法。我常對友人說：香港如果有台灣的一些條件：如遠離大陸；又或大陸民不潦生，政治和經濟都失控，國運低沉等，香港早已像台灣般，心懷去志。至於台灣今日情況，有目共睹，也不是討論所能解決的。

不要以為印度的民主選舉有甚麼特色：無論古今中外，上層利益集團永遠是佔優的，無論資本，教育程度等，他們是比較立於高地，如果低層社會得勢，就是亂世的開始，沒有人想看到的。以上是常態，我認為與民主選舉無關的。至於美國的情況，就較難以解釋了。美國大選臨近，我們看到那方經濟充裕，那方的勝算愈高，那也是常態。但他們避開了暴力行為，沒有窮困國家的常見現象，就是為選舉而打打殺殺。難道財富，真的可以代替因拗撬而殺戮的嗎？

1.) I think the excutive branch (I mean its institutions) may not be ready for universial franchise in 2012 yet (so 2017 is reasonable). However, the Legislative Council is definitely ready for universial franchise in 2012 !!!


2.) When we refer to Taiwan, we generally see the bad side of democracy. Indeed, there is a less glamorous side to democracy, and in fact, not peculiar to Taiwan (e.g. in 1855, a US Congressman beat up a Senator in the Senate with a cane and that Senator took 3 years to recover).

However, there is a less glamorous side for everything. China, for example, look at its wealth gap between the rich and the poor, look at its exploited factory workers, look at the living conditions of the people in the west and northwest. And let's not forget what happened in 1989, and the people who are still imprisoned, not for their deeds, but for their political or religious view !!!

For the economic argument, firstly, there are certain important things other than the economy: liberties, equalities..... Also, you compared Taiwan with China and concluded that democracy impede economic development. Try comparing North Korea and the USA, you may come up with some other conclusion !!!!
