Dear Reader,

Templar's Take
(1-Nov-2014)
RECENTLY ON WEBB-SITE
Delivery of
petition for HK democracy.
Webb-site has today delivered to the CE's
Office the petition with the first 2,114 signatures. The realistic and pragmatic
petition remains open for signature, so it is not too late to add your voice.
The CE has an opportunity to resolve the impasse over constitutional
development, move HK forward, and land on the right side of
history. (31-Oct-2014)
Broadly
representative of wealth
C Y Leung tells 3 media from democratic countries that the Nominating
Committee should be "broadly representative" of wealthy people, not the general
public, who would otherwise wreck the economy, and explains how he has to pander
to vested interests in the committee to get elected. Yet the lack of a popular
electoral mandate has resulted in populist handouts anyway, as well as wasteful
infrastructure spending to favour vested interests. Could a democratically
nominated and elected CE really be any worse? We also look ahead to what the
students should realistically be asking for tonight. (21-Oct-2014)
And much more besides...
