至於替代人士的產生方式問題，政府亦曾就此澄清和確認。
The Government has also clarified and confirmed how the substitute person should be selected
第二點，我想談談更新候選人資格審查機制，以及資審會的組成及職權。
Secondly I would like to talk about updating the candidate eligibility review mechanism as well as the composition and terms of reference of CERC
主席，修訂將增設資審會，負責審查選委會、行政長官及立法會候選人的資格。
President the amendments will establish CERC responsible for reviewing the eligibility of candidates standing for EC Chief Executive and Legislative Council elections
過去由選舉主任裁定候選人是否符合參選資格，這個做法並不合適，亦欠缺統一標準。
In the past the Returning Officer would determine whether a candidate was eligible to stand for election which was inappropriate and lacked uniform criteria
現時由資審會負責審查，便有統一的標準，更重要的是把"愛國者治港"這項重要原則法律化、制度化，做法亦符合《憲法》及《基本法》，以全面落實貫徹"愛國者治港"，這絕對是香港選舉進程的重要里程碑。
The current approach of having CERC responsible for the review will put uniform criteria in place . More importantly it will legalize and institutionalize the important principle of patriots administering Hong Kong which is also in line with the Constitution and the Basic Law so that patriots administering Hong Kong can be fully implemented . This is definitely an important milestone in the development of Hong Kongs electoral process
另外，對資審會根據香港特別行政區維護國家安全委員會的審查意見書作出的候選人資格確認的決定，不能提出訴訟，不受司法覆核。
Besides no legal proceedings or judicial review may be instituted in respect of a decision made by CERC on the eligibility of a candidate for membership of EC the office of Chief Executive or membership of the Legislative Council pursuant to the opinion of the Committee for Safeguarding National Security of HKSAR CSNS
我認為這做法合情、合理、合法，因為候選人是否符合國家安全的標準，最權威的審查機構便是香港國安委，這亦是修訂引入國安委審查意見書制度的原因，有關做法具充分的法律正當性，不容挑戰。
I consider this sensible reasonable and legitimate because the most authoritative organization to examine whether a candidate meets the criteria of national security is CSNS . This is also the reason why amendments are made to introduce the system involving CSNSs opinion . Having full legal legitimacy such an approach is not subject to challenge
我很高興特區政府接納議員、委員的建議，將資審會成員人數上限由5人增加至8人，加入若干社會人士參與，以進一步增加資審會的公信力。
I am glad that the SAR Government accepted Members proposal to increase the maximum number of CERC members from five to eight with additional participation from certain members of society to further enhance the credibility of CERC
修訂將會阻斷"攬炒派"連同外國勢力透過破壞和操縱選舉，危害香港及國家的安全，所以這些修訂絕對有必要。
The amendments will stop the mutual destruction camp together with foreign forces from jeopardizing the security of Hong Kong and the country through sabotaging and manipulating elections . For this reason these amendments are absolutely necessary
主席，正如我之前所說，《條例草案》建議修訂8項主體法例及24項附屬法例，對於盡快完善香港選舉制度、阻斷"攬炒派"通過選舉制度漏洞進入香港特區政治體制，以維護香港國家安全的期望是極之殷切的。
President as I have said earlier the Bill proposes amending eight principal Ordinances and 24 items of subsidiary legislation . There is a great expectation that Hong Kongs electoral system can be improved expeditiously to stop the mutual destruction camp from entering the political structure of HKSAR through loopholes in the electoral system so as to safeguard national security
中央親力處理《香港國安法》及完善選舉制度這兩大舉措，結合了法律及制度的"組合拳"，終結香港多年的政治亂象，從中央層面為香港提供不容挑戰、堅實可靠的法律理據及制度保障，讓香港能夠全面準確落實"一國兩制"及"愛國者治港"，形神聚焦於香港的發展、經濟及民生。
With the Central Authorities taking the initiative to throw combination punches by introducing two major legal and institutional measures namely the Hong Kong National Security Law and improvement of the electoral system the years - long political chaos in Hong Kong came to an end . The provision of robust legal justifications and institutional safeguard at the Central Government level that cannot be challenged has enabled Hong Kong to fully and accurately implement one country two systems and patriots administering Hong Kong such that Hong Kong can focus on its development economy and peoples livelihood . Members of the public describe the two major measures of the Central Authorities as the sharp sword and hard shield for maintaining social stability and safeguarding the future of Hong Kong
市民形容中央的兩大舉措是維護社會穩定、守護香港未來的利劍和堅盾，香港有着中央最堅實、最可靠的支持，再加上現時中央給予這套寶貴的利劍和堅盾，"愛國者治港"將得以準確及全面落實，"一國兩制"將可以行久致遠，香港必定會更加繁榮，有更好的明天。
Hong Kong has the strongest and most reliable support from the Central Authorities . In addition with this valuable set of sword and shield currently provided by the Central Authorities patriots administering Hong Kong will be accurately and fully implemented while one country two systems will remain sustainable and successful . Hong Kong will definitely be more prosperous and have a better future
主席，我發言支持《2021年完善選舉制度條例草案》恢復二讀辯論。
President I speak in support of the resumption of the Second Reading debate on the Improving Electoral System Bill 2021 the Bill
今天對於 香港來說有着非常重要的歷史意義，因為完善了的選舉制度將更符合香港的實際情況，亦象徵我們的議會回復理性辯論，回復為專注民生、專注經濟的議會，亦可令香港特區政府的精力投放在解決香港深層次問題之上，讓香港可以重新出發。
To Hong Kong today is a day of great historical significance because the improved electoral system will better reflect the actual circumstances in Hong Kong . It also symbolizes that this Council will return to rational debates and return to its role as a parliamentary assembly focusing on peoples livelihood and the economy . It enables the SAR Government to put its efforts into resolving the deep - seated problems of Hong Kong so that Hong Kong can start afresh and strive ahead
主席，為何我剛才說在完善選舉制度後，我會感到很欣慰呢？
President why did I say just now that I felt gratified about the improvement of the electoral system?
其實我在這個議會出任議員不經不覺已經是第三屆，我剛才在樓上撰寫這篇發言稿時，我看着我的辦公室內有很多感謝狀、很多與市民的合照，我便在想，究竟我自己從政的初心是甚麼？
Well I have been a Member of this Council already for a third term though quite unnoticeably . Just now when I was upstairs writing the script of this speech I saw in my office many certificates of commendation as well as many photographs that I have taken with members of the public . Then I thought to myself What was my original intention when I first engaged in politics?
剛好在數天前，有電視台重播我在1999年5月20日接受的一個訪問，當時記者問我，擔任議員助理或社區幹事的薪酬不高並且辛苦，所有事情都要"一腳踢"，為何我仍要做呢？
It happens that a few days ago 20 May an interview I gave back on 20 May 1999 was replayed on television . At that time the reporter asked me this When the pay was not high for a Members Assistant or Community Organizer and the job was so demanding that one literally had to do everything all by himself why did I still do this job?
我當時回答說，如果我能夠在一個崗位上服務香港市民和服務香港，即使只是改善社區的一花一草、一樹一木，我也感到非常開心。
I replied at the time that if I could serve the people of Hong Kong and serve Hong Kong in my position even though I could make only some trivial improvement to the community I would feel very happy
隨着我的工作崗位改變，我接觸的市民亦越來越多。
As my position changed I have had contacts with more and more people
這麼多年以來，我領略的一個道理是，香港必須穩定，因為穩定關乎每個家庭、每名市民。
Over the years I have come to appreciate the truth that we must have stability in Hong Kong because stability concerns every family and every member of the public
"我當時不太了解他在說甚麼，但隨着個人的成長，特別在兩年前，我們看到香港社會受到反對派的挑動，受到"黑暴"的衝擊，那時社會的動盪，令我深深明白社會穩定是多麼重要，而這麼普通的一件事情，也並非唾手可得。
Back then I did not quite understand what he was trying to say . But as I attained more personal growth especially as we saw two years ago that Hong Kong society had been instigated by the opposition camp and suffered a blow from the riots the social disturbances back then made me deeply understand how important it is for stability to prevail in society and this even being such an ordinary thing is not easy to come by
所以，保障香港的長期繁榮穩定，其實便是保障香港市民的生計，而我們每天在這裏說的政治，其實並非如反對派所說般那麼虛無縹緲的東西，我們在說的政治，即是香港市民的生計，香港的經濟發展。
Therefore safeguarding the long - term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong is actually safeguarding the livelihood of Hong Kong people and the politics that we are talking about here every day is actually not something as illusory or abstract as described by the opposition camp . The politics that we are talking about is the livelihood of Hong Kong people and the economic development of Hong Kong
我記得我第一天進入這個議會時，我告訴自己要充分利用這崗位，幫助社會解決一些問題，因為沒有人能保證我在4年後一定可以連任，一定可以繼續留在議會內。
I recall that the first day when I joined this Council I told myself that I must make full use of this position to help solve some problems in society because no one could guarantee that I could surely be re - elected and remain in this Council four years later
所以，我在議會提出的第一項議案是關注青年人的"4業"，即學業、就業、住屋置業和創業的問題。
Therefore the first motion that I proposed in this Council was a four - pronged motion on caring about the education employment housing home acquisition and business start - up problems faced by young people
所以，從第一天開始，我便希望利用這平台來解決問題，但經過10多年，我覺得能夠做的似乎不太多。
So since my first day I have hoped to make use of this platform to solve these problems . But a decade or so have passed and it seems that there is not much I can do
大家會說我的能力不足，又或我們的社會或政府不重視這些問題，這些都有可能，但最重要的是在議會內，有很多事情在"拖我們後腿"。
Some people may say that I am not competent enough or the community or the Government has attached little attention to these problems which may be true . But what is most important is that in this Council many things were holding us back
我原本以為進入議會可以做很多事，怎料原來落差也頗大。
At first I thought that I could do a lot of things after joining this Council and it turns out to be quite a different case
現在回望過去，發覺其實很多事情做不到， 是因為有很多議員，特別是反對派議員沒有服務市民的初心。
In retrospect I found that we were unable to do a lot of things because many Members especially the opposition Members did not work with the intention of serving the public
當然，在議會裏，即使是建制派也有不同的政見，但只要大家服務市民、服務香港的初心是一樣便沒有問題。
Of course in this Council even the pro - establishment Members have different views on political issues but it is fine so long as we have the same intention to serve the people and to serve Hong Kong
當反對派在議會搞"拉布"、搞破壞的時候，當我們想向前走，他們卻拉我們後退一步，一加一減就變了原地踏步。
When the opposition camp was filibustering and causing damages in this Council and when we wanted to move forward they held us back and we had to move one step backward and at the end of the day we remained stagnant
十多年以來想處理的一些民生問題和深層次矛盾均無法處理，很大原因就是被"拉布"拖垮。
Regarding some livelihood issues and deep - rooted conflicts that we had wanted to tackle for the past decade or so it was impossible for them to be dealt with and a main reason for it is that they were bogged down by filibustering
當然，大家會說搞事的人四處也有，但如果讓搞事的人進入立法會，後果便非常嚴重，正如我剛才舉出的實質例子一樣。
Of course people may say that there are trouble - makers everywhere . But if we let trouble - makers into the Legislative Council the consequences will be very serious just as I explained in the concrete examples that I cited earlier on
所以，我們看到之前的選舉制度其實是有問題。
Therefore we can see that the previous electoral system is actually problematic
今次完善了選舉制度，可以令更多有心服務市民的人進入議會，亦讓更多有能力、有承擔、真誠為香港市民的人進入議會，他們甚至可以競選行政長官。
With the improvement of the electoral system now more people who aspire to serve the public and more people who are competent committed and sincere in serving the public can join the Legislative Council . They can even run for the office of the Chief Executive
也許主席會問我，搞事與做事的人有甚麼分別？
President you may ask me what the difference is between trouble - makers and people who do their jobs
其實，標準從來沒變，也就是擁護《基本法》和效忠香港特區，即"愛國者治港"。
In fact the standard has never changed and that is upholding the Basic Law and swearing allegiance to the HKSAR and in other words patriots administering Hong Kong
這絕對不是一個新的標準，這個標準在鄧小平先生設計和提出"一國兩制"的時候就已經訂立。
This absolutely is not a new standard . This standard was already laid down when Mr DENG Xiaoping designed and proposed one country two systems
所以，今次修例的核心精神，就是全面落實"愛國者治港"的原則。
Therefore the core spirit of these legislative amendments is to fully implement the principle of patriots administering Hong Kong
因此，立法會的選舉制度必須能夠選賢與能，選出一些做實事的人，排除一些搞事的人，立法會才可以履行職責，否則我們只會繼續像以往般，每次開會也是吵架、衝擊主席台，接着被保安趕走或抬走、潑臭水，繼續不斷休會，吵吵鬧鬧，甚麼也做不到。
To this end the electoral system of the Legislative Council must be able to choose virtuous and capable people . It must be able to choose people who do solid work and exclude trouble - makers and only in this way can the Legislative Council perform its duties . Otherwise what happened in the past will keep recurring and during every meeting there will be quarrels and people charging the President Podium and then being expelled or taken away people hurling stinking liquid and meetings being suspended over and over again with endless bickering but nothing being done
主席，政治體制是中央事權，中央作出一系列的決定，必定經過深思熟慮。
President our political system falls within the jurisdiction of the Central Authorities . The Central Authorities must have made in - depth and thorough consideration in making this series of decisions
正如中央官員說，中央對全面準確落實"一國兩制"和《基本法》負有最大的責任，對於維護《憲法》和《基本法》確立的憲制秩序亦負有最大的責任。
As an official of the Central Authorities has said the Central Government holds the primary responsibility for ensuring full and faithful implementation of one country two systems and the Basic Law and for upholding the Constitution and the constitutional order established by the Basic Law
面對之前香港選舉制度的漏洞和風險，中央亦有權力和責任完善。
In view of the loopholes and risks of the previous electoral system in Hong Kong the Central Authorities have the power and duty to make improvements
今天在席的每位議員很用心地審議和辯論這項旨在完善選舉法例的《條例草案》，我們亦希望透過今次辯論，能夠澄清一些錯誤的信息。
Today each and every Member in the Chamber is working very hard to scrutinize and debate this Bill which seeks to improve the electoral legislation . We also hope to clarify some wrong messages through this debate
有些反對派人士說中央現在提出完善選舉制度，其實並不是完善制度，而是想排除一些反對派的人，這些其實便是反對派一貫以來的伎倆。
Some members of the opposition camp said that the Central Authorities in proposing to improve the electoral system actually do not aim to improve the system but to exclude people from the opposition camp . This is in fact a tactic consistently used by the opposition camp
我不知道他們是真的不了解"一國兩制"，還是刻意歪曲"一國兩制"，把一個明明是完善的制度說成倒退的制度。
I wonder if they genuinely do not understand one country two systems or they are deliberately distorting one country two systems in describing a clearly improved system as a retrograde system
在過去一段時間，我們看到議會依然有效運作，對於政府的一些議案或撥款要求， 如果政府做得不好，議員同樣作出批評，而政府提出的撥款要求亦未必得到立法會的同意，這說明了議會能夠"是其是，非其非"的重要性。
For a period of time we have seen that this Council has still operated effectively . Regarding motions or funding requests put forward by the Government if the Government is not doing its job Members will make criticisms all the same and the Governments funding requests may not necessarily be endorsed by the Legislative Council . This shows the importance for this Council to say what is right as right and denounce what is wrong as wrong
所以，主席，我在此再明確表示，我支持今次《條例草案》恢復二讀辯論和三讀。
Therefore President let me expressly state again that I support the resumption of the Second Reading debate and Third Reading on the Bill
主席，今天晴空萬里，陽光普照，正正體現了我對《2021年完善選舉制度條例草案》恢復二讀辯論的歡欣心情。
President today is a sunny day with a clear blue sky and this precisely reflects my joy at the resumption of the Second Reading debate on the Improving Electoral System Bill 2021 the Bill
因此，完善選舉制度的《條例草案》，可謂功在千秋。
Therefore I would say that this Bill on improving the electoral system has made profound contributions that will last forever
主席，我長話短說，除了剛才鄭松泰議員和陳沛然議員兩位議員的發言外，我非常認同其他議員的觀點和論述，他們已經詳盡講述《條例草案》的深遠意義，我在此不想再花時間重複他們的論點。
President to cut a long story short except for the speeches made earlier by Dr CHENG Chung - tai and Dr Pierre CHAN I very much agree with the views and remarks of other Members . They have explained in great detail the far - reaching meaning of the Bill and I do not wish to further spend time repeating their points here
一句說話，我堅決支持和擁護《條例草案》，期望能夠盡快落實和實施。
In a nutshell I resolutely support and embrace the Bill and I hope that it can be expeditiously brought into effect and implemented
代理主席，我們現正審議的，是《2021年完善選舉制度條例草案》。
Deputy President we are now examining the Improving Electoral System Bill 2021
在數個月前，我們得知要採用"一籃子"的方式作出修訂，我認為不太可能。
A few months ago we learnt that the amendments would be made in a single consolidated Bill . I considered it not quite possible
事實上，當中牽涉的主體法例和附屬法例非常多。
As a matter of fact numerous principal Ordinances and items of subsidiary legislation were involved
最終，據我理解，政府安排了一個所謂審議框架，按照框架作出相關法例修訂。
Eventually as far as I understand it the Government arranged a so - called framework for scrutiny under which relevant legislative amendments were made
所以，我相信稍後就政府的修正案投票時，會與之前有些分別，因為事實上，當中牽涉很多不同的"交叉"法律。
Hence I believe that when we vote on the Governments amendments later they will be somewhat different from the previous ones because many different crossover laws are actually involved
剛才很多議員也提及今次完善選舉制度的意義，我認為這意義是過去這麼多年來從沒出現過的。
Just now many Members mentioned the significance of this exercise on improving the electoral system . In my view such significance has never been seen in the past years
今次有關香港選舉制度的修訂，嚴格來說，其實是香港管治制度的修訂，我會視之為"港人治港"的真正試金石。
This amendment exercise on the electoral system of Hong Kong is strictly speaking about amending the system of governance in Hong Kong . I would regard it as the real touchstone of Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong
過去，當然很多市民均認為香港沒有所謂普及而平等的選舉，我們無法落實"港人治港"，但據我理解，在北京眼中，至少特首是從香港的不同界別，經過以往的選舉制度而產生的。
In the past of course many people thought that Hong Kong did not have universal and equal elections so to speak . We were unable to realize Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong . Yet I understand that in the eyes of Beijing at least the Chief Executive was selected from different sectors in Hong Kong through the previous electoral system
但是，經過這數年的政治變化，出現了一個相當明顯的情況，便是因應過去的選舉制度，似乎我們的議會以至管治團隊，不是單純的"港人治港"，它並不能做到所謂真正的"港人治港"。
However subsequent to the political changes in the past few years it became rather obvious that in the light of the past electoral system it seems that our legislature and even our governing team did not purely represent Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong . They failed to genuinely achieve the so - called Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong
今次有關選舉制度的修訂，頗明顯地將一些所謂外部勢力排斥或掃除於香港的制度以外。
This amendment exercise on the electoral system has clearly expelled or removed the so - called external forces from the Hong Kong system
但是，在未來5年，萬一出現好像之前的亂狀，那怎麼辦？
However if similar chaos appears in the next five years what should be done?
事實上，我認為這個改變真正的部分，是究竟在5年後，我們是否仍然有所謂"港人治港"的政治方向，又或是我們理解的《基本法》的基本綱領呢？
In fact I think the real part of this change is whether five years later we will still have the political direction of so - called Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong or the fundamental framework of the Basic Law in our comprehension
有否問過這個問題呢？
Have Members ever asked this question?
其實在我而言，那並非是單純的街頭衝突，2019年最危險的情況是，原來在我們的制度下，可以有權力不穩的狀況出現，可以有一個月份是管治真空。
Actually in my view those were not simply clashes in the street . The greatest danger in 2019 was that it turned out that under our system there could be instability of power and a vacuum in governance for a whole month
所以，這次的修訂，無論大家如何把責任歸因於泛民議員也好，在座每位也要背上一個責任，這是既成的事實。
Hence in this amendment exercise no matter how Members put the blame on pan - democratic Members everyone in this Chamber has to share the responsibility . This is a fait accompli
這次修訂，尤其是一些細節，絕對是要商榷的，例如關於選委會的組成。
This amendment exercise especially certain details is definitely open to question such as the composition of EC
過去，我們理解的是，且不要說議會的組成有多少席是經功能界別或直選產生，最少我們知道，過去參選並不需要取得所謂選委會委員的授權，然後才可參與選舉。
In the past to our understanding leaving aside the number of seats in the Legislative Council that were returned by functional constituencies or direct elections at least we know that in the past there was no need to obtain the so - called authorization from EC members to stand for election
現時在重構選委會的部分其實加入了一個元素，這個元素有利也有弊，這個元素是裙帶關係。
In the present reconstitution of EC an element has in fact been added . This element having both advantages and disadvantages is cronyism
這是一個小圈子選舉，大家"圍威喂"，互相"搵着數"，與"圍標"沒甚麼分別。
This is a small - circle election where cronies get together and seek advantages from each other . It is no different from bid - rigging
不會說有利益輸送，但會涉及利益輸送。
I will not say there is transfer of benefits but transfer of benefits will be involved
以裙帶關係作為一個選舉門檻，它帶來的是龐大的腐敗機制。
The adoption of cronyism as an election threshold will bring about a huge mechanism of corrupt practices
因此，我過去在法案委員會不斷詢問，究竟我們如何防貪？
For this reason previously I kept asking in the Bills Committee how we could prevent corruption . The prevention of corruption is not about specific advantages
代理主席，我發言支持《2021年完善選舉制度條例草案》。
Deputy President I speak in support of the Improving Electoral System Bill 2021 the Bill
代理主席，的確是中央救香港，在《香港國安法》通過後，香港社會終於回復平靜，起到一個震懾作用，使我們的社會不需要再受"黑暴"所威脅；而再透過這次的完善選舉制度的安排，讓我們可以進一步堵塞選舉制度中的漏洞。
Deputy President the Central Authorities have indeed saved Hong Kong . Finally the Hong Kong society has returned to peace and calmness after the passage of the Hong Kong National Security Law which has produced a shock - and - awe effect so that our society will no longer be threatened by the black - clad violence . And through the arrangements to improve the electoral system we can further plug the loopholes in the electoral system
我們回帶看看，我們一直都應該說"愛國者治港"是否得到全面的落實。
Let us look back we should have all along asked whether patriots administering Hong Kong has been fully implemented
大家知道，我們從2019年發生的"黑暴"看到，選舉制度出現漏洞可以帶來多大的遺害。
We all know as evidenced by the black - clad violence in 2019 how much damage the loopholes in the electoral system can do
我們先看到的是，立法會議員居然利用其公職崗位公然勾結外國勢力，要求外國制裁香港，打擊中國，明裏暗裏支持當時的暴動，甚至基本上是分裂國家，背後支持"港獨"的行為也有 看到。
What we saw first was that Members of the Legislative Council went so far as to use their public office and official positions to blatantly collude with foreign forces asking them to sanction Hong Kong and attack China and both explicitly and implicitly supporting the riots at that time . We have even seen acts that were basically secession and supportive of the Hong Kong independence behind the scenes
我們看到原來有人，特別是立法會議員，利用公職崗位竟然可以達致分裂國家等危害國家安全的目的。
We have seen that some people particularly Members of the Legislative Council have made use of their public office and official positions to actually achieve the goals of jeopardizing national security such as secession
我們更加覺得，如果我們看到這些漏洞，讓它們繼續存在而不予堵塞，讓這群人將來繼續危害國家安全，是相當危險的。
We all the more feel that it would be rather perilous if we see these loopholes but allow them to persist without plugging them and allow such people to continue to jeopardize national security in the future
今天我們選擇在這裏透過今次的本地立法，希望能夠堵塞這方面的漏洞，不要再有2019年"黑暴"、暴動等情況再在香港出現，因為我們看到市民的而且確真的受夠當日的"黑暴"，我們不可能讓這些情況再次發生，因此，必須堵塞這方面的漏洞。
Today we have made a choice to enact local legislation in the hope of plugging these loopholes so that situations like the black - clad violence or riots in 2019 will not happen in Hong Kong again because we can see that people had really suffered enough from the black - clad violence back then . Therefore loopholes in this respect must be plugged
代理主席，在全國人民代表大會公布關於完善選舉制度的決定後，社會上出現了很多討論。
Deputy President after the National Peoples Congress announced the decision on improving the electoral system there have been a lot of discussions in society
在這裏我亦想特別提到，這次完善選舉制度中有幾個精髓，我希望在這裏可以再三表述一下，特別是這次完善選舉制度，我們看到選舉委員會的組成由1,200人增至1,500人。
I would like to especially mention the several quintessences of the improvement of the electoral system which I wish to repeat here . In particular as regards the improvement in the electoral system we are aware that the composition of the Election Committee EC has been increased from 1 200 to 1 500 members
同時，我們看到，將來新一屆的立法會由70席增加至90席，而在90席中有40席由選委會產生，30席是功能界別，20席是地區直選。
At the same time we can see that the number of seats in the new Legislative Council will increase from 70 to 90 with 40 of the 90 seats to be returned by EC 30 by functional constituencies and 20 by geographical direct elections
其實我們看到在這次建構的組成中，特別體現出均衡參與的精神，因為我們不要忘記，其實我們的社會和政治制度的設計，是強調各界的均衡參與。
In fact we can see that the spirit of balanced participation is particularly evident in the reconstituted composition because we must not forget that the design of our social and political system carries an emphasis on balanced participation of all sectors
換言之，未來的議會更加可以從整體利益的角度處理香港的問題，特別是選委會的新增界別席位，亦可超越一些固有界別的利益或者地區利益，尤其是在地區利益與整體利益發生矛盾時，也能取得平衡，最後大家可以從整體利益的角度達到共識，然後再向前行。
In other words the future Council will be more able to deal with Hong Kongs problems from the perspective of overall interests . In particular with the new EC seats it will be possible to transcend the interests of some existing sectors or the interests of the local communities especially in times of conflicts between the interests of the local communities and the overall interests so that a balance can be struck and a consensus can be reached from the perspective of overall interests and then we can all move forward
