The Civic Party, commonly known as the “big party”, will hold a meeting next Saturday to decide its survival. The last chairman, Leung Ka-kit, shouted that “there is no turning point”, and he just waited for the final blow. The party was once prosperous and unstoppable. Brother Jie and other big brothers and sisters dreamed back in the middle of the night, did they ask themselves, why did the party fall into such a state?
A political and business savage talked to me about politics last night. He said that he drank coffee one-on-one with Liang Jiajie a few years ago. As for the bad result, Brother Jie hesitated and didn’t want to talk about it again.
A few years ago, political and business savages questioned Liang Jiajie face-to-face. Back then, the Legislative Council voted on the plan for the election of the chief executive. Why didn’t the pan-democrats “live first”? The other party only replied “It’s hard to talk about what happened a few years ago”, which was quite unbearable.
People say that my grandfather proposed the “831 universal suffrage plan”. After a nomination process, the chief executive can be elected by universal vote. This is a big step forward in democratization. As things stand, black violence may not appear, and the democrats will continue to have fun, so Hong Kong will not be hurt like this. He has always been worried about this.
One year after the democrats collectively voted against the “whole melon” 831 plan, the fierce man and Liang Jiajie met for coffee in a hotel in Central. After drinking two sips, he bluntly said that the democrats were tired of Hong Kong, and questioned Jie Jie on the spot Why don’t the Civic Party and other democrats focus on the overall situation and “take the bag first” before dumping it? He said that Brother Jie didn’t refute or explain at that time, but only responded that “it’s hard to talk about what happened a few years ago”, which was a bit unbearable.
History cannot be turned back. The democrats made a mistake, and Hong Kong has to pay a heavy price for it. Now a group of bigwigs are suffering from prison, and the Civic Party and the Democratic Party are on the verge of breaking up. Thousands.
For this matter, Ye Liu, chairman of the New Democratic Party, also has many unforgettable memories. She said in her memoir “My Ten Years and Me” that on June 18, 2016, the Legislative Council voted on the “Resolution on the Method for Selecting the Chief Executive”. “One month before, four legislators from the Civic Party, Leung Ka-kit, the Democratic Party Emily Lau, the Labor Party, Ho Siew-lan, and the health service sector, Li Guolin, were arranged to meet with the chairman of the National People’s Congress, Zhang Dejiang, to discuss the political reform plan. This was a great opportunity to “break the ice”. , but the four still expressed their firm opposition to the “831 Plan” and demanded the resumption of political reform, which can be said to be difficult for a strongman.
At that time, she no longer had any suspense that the plan would be rejected, but she still felt very emotional. Everyone was willing to give up what was already available at their fingertips.
As the universal suffrage plan is difficult to produce, it will be difficult for the pan-democrats to communicate with the central government in the future. The Civic Party and other pan-democratic parties are dominated by radical waves. In order to keep votes, they follow the trend and embark on the road of self-destruction.
Tang Jiahua is a core member of the founding party of the Civic Party. He disclosed that the party had become radical and irrational when it decided to participate in the “five district general resignation, disguised referendum” as early as 2009. At that time, something happened: the party members held a meeting to act and make decisions , he first spoke against participation, only a scholar stood up to agree with him, but before he could say a few words, a party member walked up to the man, pointed at the man’s nose and yelled insults, but the chairman and the party leader did not stop him.
At that moment, he said, he had for the first time a strong and bad feeling that the Civic Party would end in demise. After that, he became more and more addicted in the party, and finally quit the party in 2015.
The fierce people pointed out that when the pro-democracy legislators collectively rejected the “831 Plan”, Hong Kong had to pay a heavy price for this, and it also made the Civic Party and other pan-democratic parties go on the road of no return.
After watching these historical clips, I realized more deeply that the development of things has a cause and effect. The Civic Party has come to an end today, and the root of the disaster has already been planted. It’s just that the leaders are hot-headed, greedy to win but not to lose, and finally make mistakes again and again. It ended in a crash.
