【明報專訊】DISCUSSIONS of universal suffrage entered a new stage in Hong Kong when the Occupy Central deliberation day closed. That day three plans were picked, and citizens taking part in the June 22 electronic ballot will vote for them. The plans moderates had put forward were all rejected. The three plans all feature popular nomination, which is unacceptable to the Central People's Government (CPG), such is the framework it has laid down for the introduction of universal suffrage in the SAR. They may be discussed openly because every one of them is supported by some citizens, but it is actually next to impossible to get the CPG to endorse any one of them. Some behaved in such a way at the polling station during the deliberation day vote that people have suddenly come to realise radicals are about to gain ground. Meanwhile, some suggestions those in the pro-establishment camp have put forward point to another leftist tendency. One of them is that only those supported by at least 50% of the nominating committee members may enter the race. One may therefore think the moderates have thrown in the sponge. The two camps affect each other by virtue of their leftist tendencies. Conservatism of the pro-establishment camp feeds radicalism in the pan-democratic camp and, because pan-democratic radicals have come to the fore, pro-establishment conservatives now speak more plausibly and volubly.
