所以，主席，我全力支持今次的《條例草案》。
Therefore President I fully support this Bill
主席，今天提交大會恢復二讀辯論及三讀的《2021年完善選舉制度條例草案》，顧名思義，是要"完善"我們的選舉制度。
President the Improving Electoral System Bill 2021 the Bill tabled before the Legislative Council today for resumption of the Second Reading debate and Third Reading seeks as the title suggests to improve our electoral system
有些建制派人士以選舉委員會為例，指出人數較原來增加300名，由原先的1,200人增至1,500人，令政治光譜擴闊了。
Some members from the pro - establishment camp cite the example of the Election Committee EC saying that the increase of the number of members by 300 from the existing 1 200 to 1 500 has widened the political spectrum
本來在新的"一國兩制"精神下，增加多些與中央有密切關係的機構和人物，可能是無可厚非。
Under the spirit of the new one country two systems it is supposedly hard to criticize the increase in the number of organizations and individuals closely related to the Central Authorities
不過，問題不單是這樣，還要對原來1,200人的選委會來個"大手術"，將不少個人票的專業界別分組一分為二，一半改為由當然委員或提名的方法產生，餘下一半則由選舉產生，但選民基礎就由個人票改為團體票，而這些新加入的團體，更是與中央關係密切或是絕對可信任的團體和機構。
Yet the problem is not only this but there is also a major operation on the original EC with 1 200 members . Many professional subsectors used to be elected by individual voters are divided in half one half to be returned by ex - officio members or nomination and the remaining half to be returned by election . Nonetheless the electorate is changed from individual voters to corporate voters whereas the newly added organizations are groups or organizations closely related to the Central Authorities or fully trusted by the Central Authorities
法律界、教育界、會計界、資訊科技界、社福界等無一幸免。
The legal subsector the education subsector the accountancy subsector the information technology subsector and the social welfare subsector are all affected by the change
他們除可像以前般，選出中央信任的特首外，還可以選出40個立法會議席，佔議會七分之四議席。
EC apart from electing a Chief Executive trusted by the Central Authorities as it did in the past can now elect 40 Members to the Legislative Council accounting for four seventh of all seats
改革後的選委會選舉制度是民主倒退，議席減少，餘下議席亦有相當多的當然委員，民意基礎收窄，加上對參選資格審查的重重關卡，日後民意反映相當有限。
The reformed EC election system is a regression in democracy where the number of seats is reduced and a considerable proportion of the remaining seats is occupied by ex - officio members . With the shrunken electorate base and the many hurdles in the candidate eligibility review the reflection of public views will be very limited in the future
本月初，林鄭特首主持的《選委界別分組面面觀》，訪問了香港八和會館主席人稱"阿姐"的汪明荃。
Early this month in the programme Get to Know the Election Committee Subsectors hosted by Chief Executive Carrie LAM the Chairman of the Chinese Artists Association of Hong Kong Liza WANG―who is commonly known as Ah Jie was interviewed
她所屬的體育、演藝、文化及出版界，席位由60席減至30席，其中15席更透過表列團體提名產生，"阿姐"對此表示不滿，她認為這項安排令很多人失去參選機會，亦失去業內一半聲音。
Regarding the sports performing arts culture and publication subsector to which she belongs the number of seats has been reduced from 60 to 30 while 15 seats will be returned by nomination by designated bodies . Ah Jie expressed discontent with the arrangement and believed that this arrangement will deprived many people of the opportunity to stand for election and half of the voices of the sector will not be heard
這次完善選舉制度的"大手術"，錯位縫合，七拉八湊，將一些看似相同，但其實並不相同的組織拼湊一起，不理他們是否有排斥作用，放在一起便算。
In this major operation to improve the electoral system stitches are sutured incorrectly in a sloppy manner cobbling together some seemingly similar but actually different organizations without considering the possible exclusionary effect
以我所屬的醫學界為例，本來立法會和選委會，醫學界和衞生服務界都是分開選，現在立法會功能界別就二合為一，合併為醫療衞生界；選委會的安排亦一樣，但就加入了中醫界。
Take the medical subsector to which I belong as an example . Originally the medical sector and the health services sector of the Legislative Council and EC are separate sectors but now the two sectors are combined to form the medical and health services functional constituency in the Legislative Council . The same arrangement also applies to EC but with the addition of the Chinese medicine subsector
按照2020年選民登記數字，衞生服務界有40,000多名登記選民，其中護士佔大多數，而醫學界只有12,300名選民。
According to the voter registration statistics in 2020 there are 40 000 - odd registered voters in the health services sector with nurses making up the majority . As for the medical sector there are only 12 300 registered voters
不難想象，選舉結果很大可能會是一面倒，醫生最終無得留低。
It is not difficult to imagine that the election result will likely be lopsided and doctors will eventually be excluded
無論是選委會以至是立法會，長遠而言，都未必會再有醫生的聲音，這樣是否"完善"呢？
Be it in the EC or the Legislative Council the views of doctors may not be heard anymore in the long run . Is this an improvement?
究竟這個"大手術"的社會科學性和代表性在哪裏？
Where is the socio - scientific basis and representativeness of this major operation?
代理主席，我發言支持《2021年完善選舉制度條例草案》，以落實"愛國者治港"。
Deputy President I rise to speak in support of the Improving Electoral System Bill 2021 the Bill to implement patriots administering Hong Kong
代理主席，當下世界正面對百年未有之巨變，在國際關係中最大的矛盾是甚麼？
Deputy President what is the biggest conflict in international relations while the world is now facing the most drastic changes in a century?
代理主席，我認為是和平發展、互利共贏，就好像我們國家的發展理念一樣，對抗帝國主義對發展中國家的巧取豪奪。
Deputy President I think it is peaceful development a win - win situation to achieve mutual benefits just like our countrys development philosophy to fight against the exploitation of developing countries by imperialism
這個就是最大的矛盾。
This is the biggest conflict
在這個國際大氣候之下，香港很不幸成為了國際鬥爭的最前線。
Under such an international atmosphere Hong Kong has unfortunately become the front line of international conflicts
大家回憶過去數年的發展，我們經歷了2014年的佔中、2016年的"旺暴"及2019年的反修例"黑暴"。
Let us recall the development in the past few years . We have experienced the Occupy Central movement in 2014 the Mong Kok riot in 2016 and the black - clad violence during the movement of opposition to the proposed legislative amendments in 2019
幸好，香港到現在由亂及治，除了有賴香港市民，包括警隊及在座各位的努力之外，更關鍵的是需要中央出手。
Fortunately we have now halted chaos and restored order in Hong Kong . Apart from the efforts of Hong Kong people including the Police and everyone present in the Chamber and more importantly this is attributed to the actions taken by the Central Authorities
中央在去年6月30日實施了《香港國安法》，震懾了"攬炒派"顛覆、"港獨"、恐怖主義、勾結外國勢力等違法行為，令我們有法可依，有法可執；亦就立法會議員資格作出相關的決定，踢走了那些"食碗面、反碗底"的"攬炒派"議員。
The Central Authorities implemented the Hong Kong National Security Law on 30 June last year to deter the mutual destruction camp from committing unlawful acts such as subversion advocating Hong Kong independence terrorism collusion with foreign forces so that we have a law in place to comply with and enforce . A relevant decision has also been made on the eligibility of Members of the Legislative Council to kick out those Members from the mutual destruction camp who bite the hand that feeds them
到今年再次出手，2021年3月11日作出了完善香港選舉制度的決定，通過了新修訂的《基本法》附件一及附件二。
This year the Central Authorities stepped in again and made a decision to improve the electoral system of Hong Kong on 11 March 2021 by passing the newly amended Annexes I and II to the Basic Law
到了今天最後關鍵的時刻，本地立法在立法會恢復二讀，我相信法案亦會很快通過，香港被"攬炒派"騎劫將會成為歷史。
Now that we have come to the final critical moment today with the Second Reading debate of the local legislation resumed in the Legislative Council I believe the Bill will be passed very soon and the hijacking of Hong Kong by the mutual destruction camp will become history
我作為議員4年多以來，我覺得這是我們議會其中一項最重要的成就。
Having served as a Member for more than four years I think this is one of the most important achievements of our legislature
我們透過今次的修例，落實"愛國者治港"，踢走"攬炒派"，就是要阻止"攬炒派"用公帑攻擊國家、破壞香港。
Through this legislative amendment exercise we can implement patriots administering Hong Kong and kick out the mutual destruction camp in order to stop the mutual destruction camp from attacking the State and damaging Hong Kong with public money
大家都知道，立法會議員的權力相當重要，有立法權和財政權，每一屆更加有接近1,000萬元的公帑，可用於議員的薪津和議員辦事處的開支等，其實是一個非常重要的公職。
As we all know the power of Members of the Legislative Council is very important as we are empowered to make legislation and approve financial proposals . Moreover we can receive public money of almost 10 million for each term of office which can be spent on the salaries and allowances of Members and the expenses of Members offices etc . It is actually a very important public office
"攬炒派"過去利用這個非常寬鬆的選舉制度，"入建制、反建制"，顛覆國家政權，甚至作出一些分裂國家、鼓吹"港獨"的言論。
In the past the mutual destruction camp made use of this very lenient electoral system to enter the establishment but oppose the establishment subvert the State power and even make some remarks advocating secession and Hong Kong independence
更令人憤慨的是，他們領受公帑，一年去美國或其他歐美國家數次，"唱衰"香港，要求一些外國政客制裁香港和國家。
What is even more outrageous is that they receive public money and then go to the United States or other European and American countries several times a year to bad - mouth Hong Kong and ask some foreign politicians to impose sanctions on Hong Kong and the State
我們的經濟已經被鄰近的深圳超越，亦被新加坡超越，人家踏踏實實搞經濟、搞民生，香港就日日在這裏搞政治，市民的生活又怎會好呢？
Our economy has been overtaken by Shenzhen our neighbouring city and by Singapore as well . While they are working pragmatically on improving the economy and peoples livelihood Hong Kong is beset by political disputes every day . How can the people lead a good life then?
出現了經濟不前，貧富懸殊擴大，居住環境越來越差，但是，過去這群"攬炒派"的行為非常可耻，其中一件事我一定要批評他們，就是他們最喜歡葉公好龍。
The economy is stagnant with a widening gap between the rich and the poor the living environment is getting worse but the acts of this gang of people from the mutual destruction camp in the past are very shameful . I must criticize them for one thing and that is they always profess to like or support something but are afraid of it in actual practice
就是他們口口聲聲說很想要某些東西，很想追求某些價值，但到政府說要做的時候，他們卻千方百計搞污名化，拉倒這些事情。
They keep claiming that they want something very much and they want to pursue certain values but when the Government says it will do it they will then try to stigmatize it by all means to pull it down
最明顯的是，我們本來有機會普選行政長官，在2015年他們否決了普選行政長官的方案。
The most obvious example is that we had a chance to elect the Chief Executive by universal suffrage but they vetoed the proposal to elect the Chief Executive by universal suffrage in 2015
普選行政長官本來已經是垂手可得的事情，但是這群人口裏說民主，實質是反民主，令市民至今未能夠普選行政長官。
The election of the Chief Executive by universal suffrage should have been something within our easy reach but this gang of people keep talking about democracy while they are actually anti - democracy such that the people have not been able to elect the Chief Executive by universal suffrage up to the present
在民生上，"攬炒派"口口聲聲說很緊張市民沒有屋住，但往往當有土地發展、填海和收地計劃時，他們便用盡所有辦法去鼓動一些矛盾，阻撓收地和填海，把事情小事化大，總之令土地發展難上加難。
With respect to peoples livelihood the mutual destruction camp keeps claiming that it is gravely concerned about the housing shortage faced by the public . But then whenever there are plans for land development reclamation and land resumption they will try every means to stir up conflicts to obstruct land resumption and reclamation and make a big fuss out of a trivial matter therefore making land development even more difficult in the end
由此可見，這些政客不是為了甚麼，就只是為了選票及個人利益，因為"攬炒派"知道，如果香港民主進程有進展，他們便不能藉此攻擊政府；如果搞好了民生，他們反對政府的票便會減少，所以"攬炒派"的真正本質是不會想香港好的。
From this we can see that these politicians are doing this for nothing but their votes and personal interests . Because the mutual destruction camp knows that if there is progress in the democratization of Hong Kong it cannot take this opportunity to attack the Government; if peoples livelihood is improved the votes against the Government for them will drop . Therefore it is the true nature of the mutual destruction camp that they do not want to see Hong Kong fare well
繼而發展至2019年，他們就更加誇張，所謂的"三不"政策，"不分化、不割席、不篤灰"，大家仍歷歷在目，完全顛倒是非。
They became more ridiculous after stepping into 2019 . Their so - called three nos policy of no division no severing ties and no snitching which completely confounds right and wrong is still vivid in our mind
他們包庇逃犯，所以反對《逃犯條例》，透過暴力和謊言不停滾動、循環，製造更多矛盾及衝突，甚至有人闖進立法會大樓破壞，他們也不敢譴責一句，是徹徹底底的墮落。
They opposed the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance since they had to harbour fugitives . They created more conflicts and clashes through advocating violence and telling lies over and again . They have completely degenerated as they did not dare to condemn those people even when they broke into and vandalized the Legislative Council Complex
這種墮落不限於激進反對派，連以前被稱為泛民主派的人士，也徹底墮落成為"攬炒派"，正正就是這個過程。
This degeneration is not only confined to the radical opposition camp but even those who used to be known as pan - democrats they have also completely degenerated to become the mutual destruction camp . This is precisely the process
所以，在我們新的社會制度下，香港要重新上路，一定不能讓這些人再次干擾香港的發展。
Therefore under our new social system Hong Kong must set a new course and we must not allow these people to interfere with the development of Hong Kong again
最近越來越多事情被披露，法庭近期不同的宣布，包括最近"爆眼女"的事件，越來越多事情令香港市民擦亮眼睛，了解事實。
More and more issues have been revealed recently such as the recent announcements made by the courts and including the case in which a young woman was said to have her eyeball ruptured which is being discussed recently . More and more issues have driven the people of Hong Kong to sharpen their eyes and look at the facts
說回選舉制度，今次修訂的而且確是一個很大的改變，我們要完善選舉制度，但我想說這更是完善我們的政治制度，完善我們的民主制度。
Coming back to the electoral system this amendment exercise will indeed bring about a drastic change . We have to improve our electoral system but I wish to say that it will even improve our political system and democratic system as well
其實，民主是每個政治制度必定要有的元素，但甚麼是民主呢？
In fact democracy is an essential element of every political system but what is democracy?
代理主席，我覺得民主有兩個維度，一個是制度上、程序上的民主，這就是選舉制度；另一個是實質的民主，指制度能否為市民帶來更好的生活，能否帶來良政善治，能否解決社會問題。
Deputy President I think democracy encompasses two dimensions . One of them is institutional and procedural democracy which refers to the electoral system; the other is substantive democracy which refers to whether the system can bring about a better life to the people whether it can bring about good governance and whether it can solve social problems
我們要按照目標來設計民主程序，而不是靠一些政治學術教課書，教條式地設計民主制度。
We must design our democratic process having regard to our goals rather than relying on some academic textbooks on politics to design our democratic system in a dogmatic manner
談到程序民主，西方式一定認為"一人一票"普選最好，而《基本法》亦表達了這個方向，沒有改變，《基本法》第四十五條訂明行政長官及立法會由普選產生的目標。
When it comes to procedural democracy universal suffrage on the basis of one person one vote is certainly regarded as the best in the Western style . The Basic Law has also expressed this direction there is no change . Article 45 of the Basic Law states the goal of electing the Chief Executive and the Legislative Council Members by universal suffrage
此外，候選人資格審查委員會是為了絕對杜絕"攬炒派"、破壞國家及香港的人加入議會，這些之前已說過了。
In addition the establishment of the Candidate Eligibility Review Committee is to prevent the mutual destruction camp those who wreak havoc on the country and Hong Kong from entering the legislature downright . We have talked about these before
相反，我們的國家做得比那些所謂的民主國家更加好。
On the contrary our State is doing much better than those so - called democratic countries
所以，我覺得我們現時設計的政治制度一定要有一種解放思想、實事求是的精神。
As such I think the political system currently designed must manifest the spirit of liberation and pragmatism . We need to face the future . We have wasted too much time
我們要面向將來，我們已浪費了太多時間，我們建設力量的朋友要加強社會各方面的建設，在社會上找更多人才，加入議會和政府，在各個諮詢架構向政府提出更好的建議，在各種居民組織中發揮能量，凝聚社區等，希望透過各種方法完善社會，除了制度上的改善，也完善我們的實質民主操作，最後達致改善市民的生活，令"一國兩制"的發展走上一個新的高度。
We must identify more talents in society to enter the legislature and the Government put forward better suggestions to the Government in various advisory bodies play a role in various residents organizations unite the community etc . in the hope of improving our society through various means . Apart from institutional improvements the actual operation of democracy should also be improved to achieve the ultimate aim of improving the life of the people so as to take the development of one country two systems to a new height
主席，局長剛才的主體答覆十分詳細，不過，令我真的感到很震驚的是，局長在主體答覆第三段的最後數行說，操守議會"曾就《守則》編寫實務指引及參考事例，並於2016年進行諮詢。
President the main reply given by the Secretary just now is very detailed but what I find really shocking is that the Secretary said in the last few lines of the third paragraph of his main reply that CPC drew up practical guidelines with exemplars for the Code . A consultation was carried out in 2016
然而，由於個別教育團體對闡釋/參考事例提出強烈反對，操守議會將實務指引擱置，於2018年再次進行諮詢"。
However there was strong opposition from individual education organizations against the illustrationsexemplars . CPC hence shelved the practical guidelines and conducted another consultation in 2018
而局長在最後一句說："現時的修訂稿主要是在1990年的版本加入一些原則性標題及將條文按性質歸類，內容並沒有很大的實質改變"。
And the Secretary said in the last sentence the current revision of the Code mainly involves the addition of guiding principles as section headings to the 1990 version and categorization of the provisions according to their nature . There were no substantial changes in the content
局長，1990年至今，已經過了31年，為甚麼有那麼多家長向我投訴，他們想投訴教師專業失德，也未能找到相應的條文，指出教師失德和他們沒有做到的？
Secretary 31 years have passed since 1990 . Why have so many parents complained to me that when they intend to complain about the professional misconduct of teachers they are unable to find the relevant provisions to deal with the misconduct of teachers and their failure to do their job?
因為那些強烈的反對意見，就連對他們教育界自己訂立的專業操守作出評估或改變，也能被他們否決呢？
Secretary frankly speaking nowadays can the Hong Kong Professional Teachers Union or whatever organizations veto the review or modification of their professional code of conduct because of their strong objection even though the Code is formulated by the education sector itself?
不如由教育局重新編寫吧。
We had better have it rewritten by EDB then
主席，2018年推出了局長剛才說的"T-標準+"，但就教師和校長的專業角色方面，都沒有提到需要守法這個規定。
President the T - standard the Secretary has referred to a short while ago was launched in 2018 but there is no mention of the need to abide by the law as a requirement in respect of the professional roles of teachers and principals
反而在1990年公布的《守則》卻訂明，專業教育工作者應尊重法律及社會接受的行為準則。
Instead the Code which is promulgated in 1990 states that a professional educator should show respect for the law and the behavioural norms acceptable to society as a whole
局長剛才說了一大堆話，但我不明白的是，為何政府不可以帶頭推出一份官方指引即使不是守則也好將兩種元素結合起來？
The Secretary has made some lengthy remarks just now but what I do not understand is why the Government cannot take the lead to issue an official guideline―it would be fine even if it is not a code―which incorporates these two elements?
我相信無論學校或教師都比較容易遵守。
I believe this would facilitate compliance of both the schools and teachers
學校作為教師的僱主和管理者，學校管理層當然包括校長和校董會有重要的責任。
Being the employer and manager of teachers the school management―the principal and the school management committee are of course included―shoulders an important responsibility
我想請問局長，鑒於現時只有《香港教師專業標準參照》和《香港校長專業標準參照》，當局會否針對學校管理層的校董會是校董會制訂適合的專業參照標準呢？
I would like to ask the Secretary given that there are only the Professional Standards for Teachers of Hong Kong and Professional Standards for Principals of Hong Kong at present will the authorities draw up appropriate professional standards for school management committees? . I am talking about school management committees
教師在課堂上所說的話，如果學生沒有把這些信息帶回給家長，他們根本無從投訴，而且亦擔心投訴後會被報復。
Regarding what teachers have said during the lessons parents would have no way to file a complaint if the students do not convey those messages to them and they are also worried about reprisal after filing a complaint
所以家長有兩個擔心，第一，投訴會否得到私隱的保障；第二，學生會否遭受報復。
Therefore parents have two concerns First whether their privacy will be protected when they lodge a complaint . Second whether the students will be subject to reprisal
因此，為何社會上有很多聲音認為，可否在課室內安裝鏡頭，拍攝老師如何授課呢？
Therefore why are there so many voices in society suggesting whether it is possible to install cameras in classrooms to capture how teachers teach their lessons?
所以，在這個層面上，當局會否再考慮市民的提議，在課室內加裝閉路電視，令教師授課時，真正能夠為大家提供透明度呢？
So in this connection will the authorities reconsider the suggestion of the public to install closed - circuit television CCTV cameras in classrooms so that teachers can really provide transparency when they are teaching?
主席，局長在主體答覆的第一句說："教師肩負傳承知識、熏陶品格的重要職責"，但在過去數年張宇人議員說的是 2014年，我則是說2019年的"黑暴"時期我們看到整個教師團隊確實有部分害群之馬，至於多與少，我認為我的看法和局長的看法不一致。
President the Secretary said in the first sentence of the main reply that teachers play a vital role in passing on knowledge and nurturing students character . But in the past few years―Mr Tommy CHEUNG talked about 2014 and I am talking about the period of black - clad violence in 2019―we can see that there are indeed some black sheep in the teaching profession . But then as to their number I think my view differs from the Secretarys
梁志祥議員剛才特別提到CCTV，是考慮將來的事情，但我亦要告訴局長，遲來的公義，絕對不是公義。
By mentioning CCTV cameras specifically a moment ago Mr LEUNG Che - cheung was considering something in the future . But I also wish to tell the Secretary justice delayed is not justice definitely
兩年過去，就如"爆眼女"事件，有學校教師拍攝畢業照時，帶頭按着右眼，挑動社會矛盾；有教師領着數名"學生妹"，在自己學校門口的招牌前按着右眼，挑動社會矛盾；有些還帶領學生出去"衝"，甚至參與非法集會。
Two years have passed just take the incident in which a young woman was said to have suffered a severe eye injury for instance some school teachers took the lead to cover their right eye when taking graduation photographs thereby provoking social conflicts . Some teachers led several school girls to cover their right eye in front of the signboard at the school entrance thereby provoking social conflicts . Some led students out to dash ahead and even participated in unlawful assemblies
張宇人議員剛才說，30年來也沒有進行檢討，而我認為秋後算帳才是我們唯一能夠尋找公義的方法。
Mr Tommy CHEUNG remarked just now that no review had ever been conducted in the past 30 years and I think to settle scores with them is the only way that we can seek justice
我想問局長，特區政府對於我剛才所說這數個case的教師，有否作出懲處，抑或只是譴責便算？
I would like to ask the Secretary will the SAR Government impose any penalty on the teachers in those several cases that I have mentioned just now or will it merely reprimand them and that is all?
如果他們繼續用這樣的態度，留在教育團隊內教學，老實說，我直到今天也絕對不會放心。
If they remain in the education profession and continue to engage in teaching with such an attitude honestly speaking I would never feel relieved even up till now
代理主席，我相信大家也聽過妥協是政治的藝術，如何妥協是很高深的學問。
Deputy President I believe Honourable Members must have heard that compromise is the art of politics and how to compromise is a very profound knowledge
我可以肯定一件事，並且在此告訴大家，那便是在反對派或泛民的前議員中，沒有人懂得政治，更沒有人懂得妥協。
I can tell one thing for sure and here I can tell all of you that no one among the former Members of the opposition camp or the pan - democratic camp understands politics and none of them understands how to compromise
如果大家記得，在2010年5月24日，民主黨有3位成員，包括何俊仁、劉慧卿和張文光，第一次進入中央人民政府駐香港特別行政區聯絡辦公室，與時任中聯辦副主任李剛、法律部部長馮巍及副部長劉春華會面。
Members may recall that on 24 May 2010 three members of the Democratic Party including Albert HO Emily LAU and CHEUNG Man - kwong visited the Liaison Office of the Central Peoples Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region LOCPG for the first time to meet with LI Gang the then Deputy Director of LOCPG FENG Wei the then Director General of the Law Department of LOCPG and LIU Chunhua the then Deputy Director General of the Law Department of LOCPG
便是中 央接受民主黨的方案，在2012年，立法會議員由60席變為70席，加入超級區議會，這正正證明中央肯接受不同派別的意見，不論是建制派或泛民派，當時他們接受了這方案，令香港的政改方案踏前一步。
It ended up that the Central Authorities accepted the Democratic Partys proposal of increasing the number of seats in the Legislative Council from 60 to 70 by introducing the super District Council functional constituency in 2012 . This exactly proves that the Central Authorities are willing to accept the views of different camps be it the pro - establishment or the pan - democratic camp . The political reform of Hong Kong has taken a step forward as a result of their acceptance of the proposal at that time
老實說，所謂的超級區議會，雖然說是功能界別代理主席你是由此界別選出的但其實根本便是直選，是大範圍的直選，這便是民主選舉的進步。
Frankly speaking even though the so - called super District Council is a functional constituency―Deputy President you are returned by this constituency―it is in fact a direct election a direct election of an extensive scale . This is a progress of democratic elections
當中央開出一些條件，大家也知道，泛民主派認為這會變成假普選或這樣那樣的，於是不肯接受，最終否決了。
When the Central Authorities set out some criteria as we all know the pan - democratic camp refused to accept them since they believed that it would give rise to a bogus universal suffrage or result in this and that and they vetoed the proposal eventually
