雖然政制及內地事務局局長譚志源後來在立法會會議上重申投票過程保密，但我們看不到政府有何令人安心的具體措施，確保選委可免受政治壓力，更沒有保證選委在選舉過程中不會拍攝選票。
Although Raymond TAM Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs later reiterated at a Legislative Council meeting that the voting process was confidential we do not see any measures taken by the Government to ease the peoples mind or to ensure that the election is free from political pressure; neither are there any guarantee that EC members would not take photos of ballot papers during the voting process
雖然選舉事務處後來曾經作出澄清，但各選委已是人心惶惶。
Although the Registration and Electoral Office made a clarification later all EC members are all on tenterhooks
第四個是"不任命論"。
The fourth is the theory of non - appointment
在3月5日又有報章報道，指如果當選的候選人並非中央政府所屬意的，將不獲任命。
Another press report on 5 March reported that if the candidate elected was not the one favoured by the Central Government that candidate would not be appointed
這樣的言論無視憲制危機，威脅選委要符合北京心意，選出其所指定的候選人。
Such a remark has totally disregarded the constitutional crisis coercing EC members to vote according to the will of Beijing to ensure that its favoured candidate would be elected
舉凡有此種不任命權，掌權者均須訂明清晰的準則自我約束，令社會人士對選舉公正有信心，現時沒有訂出不任命的準則，只會令人更覺得中央以不任命權來向選委施壓。
For authorities with the power of not appointing the elected candidate clear criteria should be laid down for the purpose of self - restraint so as to gain the publics confidence in the fairness of the election . Without the criteria for not appointing the elected candidate it will only give people the impression that the Central Authorities are exerting pressure on EC members by threatening not to appoint certain candidates
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：姚松炎議員動議的議案，予以通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the motion moved by Dr YIU Chung - yim be passed
有5位議員要就這項議案動議修正案。
Five Members wish to move amendments to this motion
所以，我予以支持。
Hence I support their amendments
但是，謝偉俊議員和李慧琼議員在他們的修正案中，只是促請香港政府確保香港特別行政區的特首選舉得以公正進行，並沒有同時促請中央政府這樣做。
However in their amendments Mr Paul TSE and Ms Starry LEE only urge the Hong Kong SAR Government to ensure the fair conduct of the election of the Chief Executive but they do not urge the Central Government to do the same
如果單單只要求香港政府，而沒有要求中央政府，恐怕是高估了香港政府確保公正選舉的能力，亦忽略了中央政府在憲制上的責任，故此我未能支持。
By urging the Hong Kong Government alone but not the Central Government to do the same I am afraid they have overestimated the capability of the Hong Kong Government of ensuring a fair election and have also overlooked the Central Governments constitutional duty
唯一的分歧在於，究竟只要求香港政府，抑或同時應該要求中央政府採取措施，確保香港行政長官選舉公正進行，這是唯一分歧。
The only difference is whether one should only request the Hong Kong Government or at the same time also request the Central Government to take measures to ensure the fair conduct of the election of the Chief Executive of Hong Kong . That is the only difference
既然他們認為中央政府有角色，那為甚麼中央政府只是有權關心，而沒有責任確保選舉公正進行？
If they think the Central Government has a role to play then why is it that the Central Government has the right to show concern but not the duty to ensure the fair conduct of the election?
我在這裏懇請各位議員想清楚，他們若支持謝議員或李議員的修正案，將墮入一個支持有權無責，"有破壞，無建設"的政府的邏輯陷阱，反映出他們同意中央政府可以關心或干預特首選舉，但沒有責任確保選舉得以公正進行。
May I earnestly ask all Members to think very carefully . If they support the amendments of Mr TSE or Ms LEE they will fall into the logical trap of supporting a government which has the power but not the duty and which does all harm but nothing constructive . This reflects that they agree that the Central Government may show concern or interfere in the Chief Executive Election but it has no duty to ensure the fair conduct of the election
他們若支持這樣的修正案，將必須向其所有選民解釋今天所作的決定，免得將來為天下所笑。
If they support such an amendment they will have to explain to all electors their decision made today lest they will become the laughing stock of the whole world
姚松炎議員，你還有4分39秒作發言答辯。
Dr YIU Chung - yim you still have 4 minutes 39 seconds to reply
首先，十分感謝多位議員就我的議案提出修正案和各抒己見，更有同事確證了部分傳聞，十分感謝大家。
First of all I thank Members for proposing amendments to my motion and expressing their views . Some colleagues even confirmed some of the hearsay . I am very grateful to everyone
正如莫乃光議員提到，香港市民今次高度團結，要求進行公正的選舉，不要再令香港撕裂；香港市民反對香港政府和中央政府進行干預，並希望還香港選委自行作出決定的權利。
As pointed out by Mr Charles Peter MOK Hong Kong people are highly united this time in their request for a fair election and an end to social dissension . People of Hong Kong object to the interference of the Hong Kong Government and Central Government and hope that members of the Election Committee EC of Hong Kong can make their own decision
有同事認為，政府只是關心，並非干預，其實關心和干預很容易作出區分。
Some colleagues opine that the Government only shows its care and that is not interference . Actually one can easily distinguish between care and interference
有公權力的人可公開訂明約束自己的條件、制訂行使權力的條件，這樣便可避免干預。
To avoid interference those who have public power can openly lay down the conditions for exercising self - restraint
公務員應該很清楚這個邏輯，因為當法例授予公務員某酌情權時，優秀的公務員必然會公布行使該酌情權的條件，以免被人認為有意濫用權力。
Civil servants should be very clear about this logic . When civil servants are conferred by law with certain discretionary power those who are competent will certainly make public the conditions under which this power is to be exercised so as to avoid being criticized for abuse of power
同樣道理，如果中央政府能夠公開或立法訂明只在某些特定情況下，才會不任命由香港市民或香港選委選出的行政長官，便可釋除選委的疑慮。
By the same token if the Central Government can openly declare enact legislation to stipulate the special circumstances under which it will refuse to appoint the Chief Executive elected by Hong Kong people or EC members the doubts and worries of EC members can be dispelled
官員這樣制訂自我約束的條件，便可避免被人認為他們是干預，而非關心。
If officials can lay down the conditions for self - restraint they will not be regarded as interfering instead of showing concern
真心關心子女的好父母，只需知道子女跟誰人拍拖，而不會開出條件，限制他們擇偶，更不會強迫他們盲婚啞嫁；他們反而會向子女保證，無論選擇誰人作為男、女朋友，也不會阻止。
Good parents who truly care about their children only need to know who their children are dating . They will not set conditions to restrain their choice of spouse; neither will they force their children into prearranged marriage . Instead they will assure their children that they will not interfere in their choice of boyfriend or girlfriend
這樣才是關心，而非干預。
Then this is genuine care not interference
如果中央政府和其所屬部門只是關心，而非干預，為何他們只關心建制派選委？
If the Central Government and its departments only care but not interfere how come they only care about the pro - establishment EC members?
為何不關心民主派300多名選委？
How come they do not care about the 300 - odd democratic EC members?
如此有選擇性的關心，目的昭然若揭。
With such selective care their aim is laid bare in front of our eyes
多位同事一致指出，越有權力的人，越需要自我約束。
Many colleagues have unanimously pointed out that the more power one has the more self - restraint he must exercise
有公權力的人，更要制訂自我約束行為的標準，避免讓人產生他們在作出干預的觀感；他們要做到的是，在公開和透明的情況下關心別人。
Those having public power should even lay down the criteria for self - restraint so as to avoid giving others the impression that they are interfering . What they should do is to show concern in an open and transparent manner
所以，如果他們很想知道對方對選舉的意見，便不應該致電個別選委，而是應該一次過約見全部選委，並且通知傳媒，在公開和透明的情況下進行，這樣便可避免這種干預的指控。
Hence if they are anxious to know the voting intentions of EC members they should not call individual EC members but should meet all EC members in an open meeting with great transparency and also notify the media . Thus they can avoid the accusation of interfering in Hong Kongs affairs
其實，特首選舉既非外交事務，亦非國防事務，所以我希望局長重新思考，情況並非一如他所說，這不是香港的內部事務：這件事其實屬於香港的內部事務。
As a matter of fact since the Chief Executive election is neither a foreign affair nor a national defence I hope that the Secretary will reconsider his saying that the election is not Hong Kongs internal affair . It is indeed Hong Kongs internal affair
如果中央所屬部門干預，便違反了《基本法》第二十二條。
If the departments under the Central Government interfere in it they breach Article 22 of the Basic Law
代理主席，我發言反對原議案。
Deputy President I speak to oppose the original motion
香港的選舉非常廉潔而有公信力，這有賴本港的選舉法例作出適當的規管，以及選舉管理委員會人員的專業精神，監管得力，令到市民放心。
Elections in Hong Kong are clean and highly credible . This is attributable to the appropriate regulation under the electoral legislation of Hong Kong and the professionalism and effective monitoring of the Electoral Affairs Commission EAC staff . The public is thus at ease
政府亦一再強調，會一如既往與選管會緊密合作，確保在本星期日進行的2017年行政長官選舉會嚴格按照有關法例，在公平、公正、誠實的情況之下進行。
The Government has stressed time and again that it will as always work closely with EAC to ensure that the upcoming 2017 Chief Executive Election on Sunday will be conducted in a fair equitable and honest manner strictly in accordance with the legislation
但是，我認為確保特首選舉得以公開、公平、公正地進行，政府不單一定要做到，更必須讓一眾市民看得到，也感受得到。
However the Government not only has to take adequate actions to ensure that the Chief Executive Election is conducted in an open fair and equitable manner I think it also has to let the public see and feel that the election is so conducted
然而，近期出現了一些劣質選舉文化，不斷散播虛假傳聞，企圖抹黑某些候選人，影響市民對是次行政長官選舉的看法。
However recently some vile electoral culture has arisen in which false news has been spreading incessantly in an attempt to smear certain candidates and influence the publics views on the Chief Executive Election
特區政府必須認真嚴肅地對待，迅速處理，讓市民看到亦感受到特首選舉是在公平、公正、公開的情況下進行。
The SAR Government must squarely and swiftly address this problem so that the public will see and feel that the election is conducted in a fair equitable and open manner
因此，近日有關行政長官選舉的種種傳聞，例如選票會送到內地驗指紋，又或是有人要求選舉委員會委員拍下選票作紀錄等，說到天花龍鳳、言之鑿鑿，很容易蒙騙選委及市民，當局不能坐視不理，只當花邊新聞或選舉宣傳看待。
In recent days there have been all kinds of rumours about the Chief Executive Election such as ballot papers will be sent to the Mainland for fingerprint examination or members of the Election Committee EC have been requested to take photos of their ballot papers for record so on and so forth . Such rumours sound very convincing and highly credible; EC members and the public may thus be deceived . Hence the authorities cannot turn a blind eye and regard such rumours as tidbits or election propaganda
面對各種虛假、失實的言論，當局必須嚴肅對待，盡快澄清，致力防止任何歪曲事實、誤導選委及市民的資訊被不斷炒作。
When dealing with all kinds of false and misleading arguments the authorities must act seriously and clarify expeditiously so as to prevent false information from being hyped continuously misleading both EC members and the public
如果特區政府不主動打擊這種劣質選舉文化，它會不斷侵蝕、污染香港的選舉，不單令今次的特首選舉是否能夠公平、公正進行受到外界質疑，更窒礙當局推動優質民主的努力。
If the SAR Government does not take the initiative to combat this vile electoral culture it will continue to erode and pollute our elections . As a result it will not only arouse peoples doubts about the fairness and equity of the Chief Executive Election but also dampen the authorities efforts in the promotion of high - quality democracy
代理主席，反對派的修正案及平時的言論都直指中央干預選舉。
Deputy President the opposition camps amendments and day - to - day comments all point the finger at the Central Authorities accusing them of interfering in the election
香港特首的產生過程分兩部分，首先經過選舉產生候任特首，然後由中央任命。
The election of the Chief Executive of Hong Kong consists of two parts first the election of the Chief Executive by voting and second the appointment by the Central Government
《基本法》規定行政長官既要對香港特別行政區負責，亦對中央人民政府負責。
The Basic Law provides that the Chief Executive shall be accountable to both the SAR Government and the Central Government
中央之所以關注特首選舉，我認為是希望經選舉產生的特首，能擔當起實行"高度自治"的授權，可以順利得到任 命。
As I see it the reason why the Central Government is concerned about the Chief Executive Election is that it hopes the Chief Executive returned by election will be capable of shouldering the mandate of implementing a high degree of autonomy and can be appointed smoothly
中央對競選過程表示關切，其間依法參與，完全沒有阻礙特首選舉依法、公平、公正的進行，大家都很清楚並無具體證據顯示中央直接插手特首選舉。
The Central Authorities concern during the election campaign and their participation in accordance with law has not impeded the fair and equitable conduct of the Chief Executive Election as provided by the law . We are also aware that there is no evidence of the Central Authorities interfering in the election
然而，反對派散播中央干預特首選舉的言論，肆意炒作"不任命論"，不尊重"一國兩制"的制度設計，亦不尊重中央的憲制地位和權力，目的是要排除中央根據《基本法》安排在香港特首選舉中的角色，甚至試圖令特首選舉按照反對派的意願發展，選出其代言人。
However the opposition camps remarks about the Central Authorities interference in the Chief Executive election its wilful hype of the non - appointment theory as well as its disrespect for the design of one country two systems and the Central Governments constitutional status and power aim at eliminating the Central Governments role in the Hong Kong Chief Executive election under the Basic Law . The opposition camp even attempts to make the election develop in its desired direction and selects its spokesperson
反對派最近隨意推舉與他們理念不同的候選人，企圖"造王"，增加流選的風險，製造憲制危機。
Recently the opposition camp has wilfully nominated candidates who hold different political beliefs to theirs in an attempt to make a king increase the risk of the election being aborted and create a constitutional crisis
這些做法實際上是不折不扣的干預、操縱選舉，不尊重選舉制度的做法。
Such attempts are actual interference and manipulation of the election through and through an indication of their disrespect for the electoral system
當局的工作，是要確保特首選舉公平、公正進行，讓所有選委及市民能夠敢於說真話，保護他們免受言語暴力威嚇。
The authorities must ensure the fair and equitable conduct of the Chief Executive Election so that all EC members and members of the public will have the courage to tell the truth and protect them against the threat of verbal violence
在選舉過程裏，不論是選委或市民因為公開支持某位候選人，而受到不同政治立場及意見的人批評及欺凌，在現實或網絡上被人身攻擊、歧視、侮辱、威嚇，在寒蟬效應之下，選民及市民最終會自動滅聲，選舉的公平、公正亦無從說起。
During the election process EC members or the public who openly express their support for certain candidates have been subjected to criticisms and bullying by people having different political positions or views in the form of personal attack discrimination insults or threats in the real or cyber world . As a result of the chilling effect EC members or the public have to keep their mouth shut a fair and equitable conduct of election is thus vanished
因此，如果作出威嚇及欺凌的作為屬於違法，特區政府便應毫不猶疑的處理，確保特首選舉在我剛才所說的公平、公正、公開的原則下順利進行。
Hence if acts of threatening or bullying are against the law the SAR Government should take actions without hesitation so as to ensure that the Chief Executive Election will be conducted smoothly under the aforesaid principles of fairness equity and openness
代理主席，保護任何市民無畏無懼地表達個人意見，不單是特區政府的責任，所有人包括特首候選人亦責無旁貸，有所承擔。
Deputy President it is not merely the SAR Government which has the responsibility to protect peoples right to express their personal views freely without fear all other people including the Chief Executive candidates have the duty to do so
我們不能夠因為政治立場不同就阻止其他人發言，我相信香港人不會認同祝賀人"晚節不保"的惡毒咒語，或諷刺聽障人士"又盲又聾"之類的言論。
We cannot stop people with different political beliefs from voicing their views . I believe people of Hong Kong will not endorse cursing others of losing his integrity in his closing year or ridiculing people with hearing impairment of being blind and deaf
所以，我期望特首候選人不會無視或包庇任何人發出歧視或仇恨的言論，我們更要呼籲其支持者不要作出網絡欺凌的行為。
Hence I expect that the Chief Executive candidates will not turn a blind eye to such discriminatory or hostile remarks and condone anyone making such remarks . We should also urge their supporters not to engage in cyber - bullying activities
代理主席，還有數天就舉行2017年行政長官選舉，但確保特首選舉公開、公平及公正的工作，不單是2017年行政長官選舉順利舉行之後就完結，我期望特區政府能任重道遠，總結經驗，不斷完善所有選舉法例及監管制度，確保本港的行政長官選舉或各級議會的選舉繼續保持公開、公平、公正。
Deputy President the 2017 Chief Executive Election will take place in a few days time but the work to ensure an open fair and equitable conduct of a Chief Executive Election will not end after the successful conduct of the 2017 Chief Executive Election . We expect the SAR Government to assume this important responsibility through thick and thin sum up the experience and continue to improve the legislation relating to elections and the monitoring system so as to ensure the elections of the Chief Executive and various councils will continue to be conducted openly fairly and equitably
我支持李慧琼議員及謝偉俊議員的修正案。
I support the amendments of Ms Starry LEE and Mr Paul TSE
謹此陳辭，多謝代理主席。
I so submit . Thank you Deputy President
主席，我們今天討論的議題，本質上是討論"一國兩制"、"高度自治"的問題。
President the subject we are debating today is essentially related to one country two systems and a high degree of autonomy
剛才李慧琼議員在台下發言時提及，"高度自治"並不是絕對的，所謂的"高度"有多高，視乎中央對香港的信任程度。
Ms Starry LEE said just now in her speech that a high degree of autonomy is not absolute and how high the degree of autonomy would depend on the level of confidence the Central Authorities have in Hong Kong
這無疑是實情，但這個實情也十分尷尬，因為所謂的可高可低，本質上說的便是走樣、變形。
While this is indeed a fact this fact is very embarrassing for the reference to flexibility essentially means that the principles will be distorted and twisted
我們環顧不同地方，自治制度，通常會有一個確定的法制，清楚界定雙方的權力關係，列明甚麼可以做、甚麼不可做，而且往往設有有效的調解機制，以解決雙方出現的矛盾。
Looking around various places in the world we will realize that an autonomous system is normally defined by a specific legislation which clearly defines the powers and relations of the two sides as well as clearly states what should and should not be done . In most cases an effective mediation mechanism is also put in place to resolve conflicts between the two sides
但是，在香港的自治安排中，雖然我們有《基本法》，但沒有一個有效的調解機制，我相信基本法委員會無法做到這個效果。
That said under the autonomous arrangement for Hong Kong though we have the Basic Law an effective mediation mechanism is not in place and I believe the Basic Law Committee can hardly perform such a role
由於欠缺法規的規範，我們只能依靠一些軟件。
Due to the lack of legal regulation we can only rely on certain software
梁美芬議員剛才提到一個十分重要的軟件，這是我也同意的，即互信。
Dr Priscilla LEUNG just now mentioned a very important software which I agree namely mutual trust
我想補充另一個軟件，即自我約束。
I would like to add another software namely self - restraint
"一國兩制"這種自治形式要獲得成功，必須有深厚的互信基礎，以及良好的自我約束。
If one country two systems a form of autonomy is to succeed it must be underpinned by profound mutual trust and sound self - restraint
兩者往往是互為基礎，互信是自我約束的基礎，自我約束也是互信的基礎。
Each of the two serves as the basis for the other . Mutual trust forms the basis for self - restraint and self - restraint forms the basis for mutual trust
李慧琼議員提到，由於互信不足，所以中央要加強關心，或換另一種說法，便是干預。
According to Ms Starry LEE due to the lack of mutual trust the Central Authorities have to show greater concern or to put it in another way interference
但是，正是因為加強干預，反而破壞了互信，形成惡性循環。
However greater interference will inevitably undermine mutual trust giving rise to a vicious cycle
這種惡性循環，我們過去10多年看得非常清楚。
This situation is well evident over the past 10 years or so
特首選舉，中央多次強調有4個準則，即中央信任、愛國愛港、有管治能力和港人擁護。
As regards this Chief Executive Election the Central Authorities have emphasized time and again four criteria namely being trusted by the Central Authorities loving the country and Hong Kong having the ability to govern and being supported by Hong Kong people
會否最後只是中央欽點，然後港人擁護與否的重要性不大呢？
Will it turns out that preordination by the Central Authorities is all that matters while the support of Hong Kong people carries no weight?
如何才能真正做到這兩點能並存呢？
What can we do to ensure the co - existence of the two criteria?
在今次的選舉過程中，我們看到很多非常令人不安的情況。
In the course of this election campaign we have witnessed many disturbing developments
中央的參與或"西環"的干預是否太過分呢？
Is the involvement of the Central Authorities or interference of Western District way too excessive?
根據《基本法》第二十二條，"中央各部門、各省、自治區、直轄市在香港特別行政區設立的一切機構 及其人員均須遵守香港特別行政區的法律。
According to Article 22 of the Basic Law [a]ll offices set up in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region by departments of the Central Government or by provinces autonomous regions or municipalities directly under the Central Government and the personnel of these offices shall abide by the laws of the Region
"意思是剛才我所說的法律也適用於他們。
This indicates that the law I referred to just now is also applicable to them
這些準則，我們一定要堅持。
We must abide by this principle
回歸之初，駐港機構的人士在香港非常低調，當時我們對"一國兩制"充滿信心，但現在情況已經大大改變，各種干預已到了必須正視和檢討的時候。
In the early years following the reunification the personnel of Central Governments offices in Hong Kong all kept a low profile and we had full confidence in one country two systems at that time . However the present situation has changed drastically as interference has become so serious that we must address squarely and conduct reviews
鄧小平先生在1984年曾說，"要相信香港的中國人能治理好香港。
Mr DENG Xiaoping said in 1984 that we must believe that Chinese people in Hong Kong can govern Hong Kong well
不相信中國人有能力管好香港，這是老殖民主義遺留下來的思想狀態。
Those who do not believe that the Chinese are able to govern Hong Kong well maintain a mindset left over by old colonialism
"我希望大家能夠好好思考鄧小平先生的這番話。
I hope that Members can thoroughly consider these words of Mr DENG Xiaoping
實際上，由於過度干預，今屆選舉已出現弄巧反拙的情況。
In fact due to excessive interference this election turns out to be a blunder instead of something desirable
本來數名建制派候選人可以做到跨陣營競選，但由於"西環"過度介入，整個選舉變成兩陣對圓，變成加強了對立。
Originally the several pro - establishment candidates should be able to conduct election campaigns transcending their own camps but due to excessive intervention by Western District the election has become a battle between two camps with intensified antagonism
這種不當的干預進一步破壞了互信。
Such inopportune interference has further undermined mutual trust
我希望中央能夠回答兩個問題。
I would like the Central Authorities to answer two questions
第一，如何體現港人擁護？
First how can the support of Hong Kong people be manifested?
第二，如何做好自我約束......甚麼可以做，甚麼不可做？
Second how to exercise self - restraint and what should and should not be done?
至於特首選舉制度，儘管現時選民基礎已超過30萬人，但香港市民普遍希望可以"一人一票"選出特首。
Under the Chief Executive election system despite the current electorate base of over 300 000 voters Hong Kong people generally hope that they can elect the Chief Executive by one person one vote
李嘉誠先生昨天在一個記者招待會上說得非常好，他指香港原本有機會"一人一票"選特首，但有些人卻拒絕；他聲言要找出禍首。
Mr LI Ka - shing made an excellent remark at a press conference yesterday . He said that Hong Kong could have had the chance to elect the Chief Executive by one person one vote only to be rejected by a few people
我今天在此回應李嘉誠先生，禍首便是這個議事廳內的反對派議員，全港市民也應該責備當日投票反對政改的28名反對派議員。
I am going to respond to Mr LI Ka - shing here today the culprits are those Members from the opposition camp in this Chamber . All Hong Kong people should also blame the 28 opposition Members who voted against the constitutional reform package back then
反對派議員經常聲稱中央干預香港選舉，但眼睛雪亮的香港市民看到和聽到，數年來真正干預香港選舉的其實是反對派。
Opposition Members have often accused the Central Authorities of interfering in Hong Kongs elections but those Hong Kong people with discerning eyes can see and hear that it is actually the opposition camp which has really interfered in Hong Kongs elections in recent years
去年立法會選舉的雷動計劃，根本就是一場大規模的配票行動。
The ThunderGo campaign for the Legislative Council election last year was literally a large - scale campaign for allocating votes
然而，在9月4日選舉日凌晨，《蘋果日報》網絡版圖文並茂配合雷動計劃的方案，教導選民如何令民調中落後的候選人高票當選，難道這些都是所謂的私人信息？
However in the early hours of the polling day on 4 September in coordination with the plan of the ThunderGo campaign the online version of Apple Daily published graphical and textual instructions for voters with a view to enabling candidates lagging behind in polls to get elected by a wide margin
我和很多香港市民也無法相信。
Many Hong Kong people and I would also find it unbelievable
回到特首選舉的問題。
Back to the question on this Chief Executive Election
在提名階段，有人提出以選舉委員會委員提名票作為交換條件，遊說某特首參選人當選後撤回對4名立法會議員的司法覆核。
During the nomination period someone offered one Chief Executive candidate nomination votes of members of the Election Committee EC in exchange for his consent to withdraw the judicial review against four Legislative Council Members if he was elected
這簡直是赤裸裸的買票和賣票交易，堪稱政治黑箱作業。
This is in fact a flagrant deal of vote buying and vote selling which can be referred to as a black box operation
就此，法律界人士普遍指出，以政治要求介入司法程序，正正破壞了香港法治的核心價值，不但妨礙司法公正，更涉及藐視法庭和選舉舞弊。
With respect to this members of the legal profession have generally pointed out that intervention into the judicial process by political request has genuinely damaged the core values of Hong Kongs rule of law . This has not only perverted the course of justice but has even involved contempt of court and electoral corruption
在一場選舉中，選民支持與自己理念相近的候選人，理所當然。
In an election it is right and proper for voters to support a candidate with whom they share similar visions
然而，在是次特首選舉中，反對派為操控選舉無所不用其惡，令人嘆為觀止。
However in this Chief Executive Election the opposition camp has used all the unscrupulous means to manipulate the election leaving people gasp with astonishment
