這一點其實非常重要，因為事實上，我們知道香港社會總是需要有一個設計制度，除突顯均衡參與，有各界不同代表的聲音外，我們還需要有一個機制，不能夠議而不決，我們需要一個機制最後達到決定，然後向前行。
This is crucial because we know that as a matter of fact in addition to a design system that highlights balanced participation with the voices of different representatives from various sectors the Hong Kong society also needs a mechanism―we cannot deliberate without deciding―to reach a final decision and then move forward
大家知道，過去每次舉行選舉時，"攬炒派"都會將香港和內地的矛盾不斷發酵和挑撥，甚至煽動一些反中國、反國家的情緒，透過這些惡行爭取市民的支持。
As we know each time an election was held the mutual destruction camp would incessantly instigate and brew conflicts between Hong Kong and the Mainland and even incite some anti - China and anti - national sentiments to win the support of the public through such vicious acts
其實這些對香港整體來說是非常壞的情況，可幸的是，這次落實完善選舉制度後，我們相信未來無須再糾纏於這些煽動人反國家、反中的情緒，又或者煽動香港與內地間的矛盾，我們不用再面對這些事情，香港社會和議會能夠集中精神處理民生事務和問題。
Fortunately after the implementation of the improved electoral system we believe that we will no longer be embroiled in such sentiments that incite people to act against the country and China or conflicts between Hong Kong and the Mainland . We will no longer need to deal with such matters and the Hong Kong society and the Council can focus on dealing with issues and problems about peoples livelihood
當然，這亦牽涉到候選人資格審查委員會，我要再三說清楚，資審會是一個把關，要確保參選者的確符合"愛國者"的標準，而不能是反中亂港的人士，我認為這一點要說清楚，我們需要這個把關。
Of course the Candidate Eligibility Review Committee CERC is also involved . I have to make it clear over and over again that CERC is a gatekeeper to ensure that candidates truly meet the criteria for a patriot and will not be people that oppose the Central Authorities and cause disturbances to Hong Kong . I consider we have to make it clear that such gatekeeping is needed
我們已經看到這些情況發生，絕不能袖手旁觀。
We have seen such situations happen and we cannot stand idly by
而且，我再三強調，透過這次完善選舉制度，我們希望香港可以達到良政善治的局面，未來能夠集中精力處理好相關的民生問題，讓香港可以繼續向前行，做好"一國兩制"的工作，好好把握國家給我們的機遇，讓香港再重新出發去發展。
Moreover I stress over and over again that through the improvement in the electoral system we hope that Hong Kong can achieve good governance and concentrate on dealing with livelihood issues in the future so that Hong Kong can continue to move forward and do a good job in respect of one country two systems and seize the opportunities given to us by our country which will allow Hong Kong to start anew for development
在發言前，我想先回應鄭松泰議員剛才提到他認為《條例草案》會造成的後果。
Before I speak I would like to respond to Dr CHENG Chung - tais earlier comments on the consequences of the Bill
但大家可以想象到，我們的社會要穩定和發展，如果政府的工務工程無法進展，又怎可以令香港經濟發展起來呢？
Honourable colleagues can tell that our society needs stability and development but if the Governments public works projects cannot progress how can the economy of Hong Kong develop?
鄭松泰議員無須擔心，《條例草案》在2021年通過後，2022年開始的新一屆立法會必定可以令香港回復正軌，達到高水平的發展。
Dr CHENG Chung - tai needs not worry for when the Bill is passed in 2021 the new term of the Legislative Council commencing in 2022 will surely put Hong Kong back on the right track to attain high levels of development
今天，為了完善選舉制度的《條例草案》出爐，其實也是為勢所逼、迫不得已的，原因我剛才也提到了。
Today the presentation of the Bill which seeks to improve the electoral system is indeed forced by circumstances and compelled by necessity the reasons for which I have just mentioned
在2019年6月後，"黑暴"肆虐，令香港處於一個動亂狀態。
After June 2019 Hong Kong was in a state of turmoil due to the rampant black - clad violence
這些"黑暴"勾結外國勢力，攪亂香港，要"攬炒"香港，令香港處於動亂狀況。
Such rioters colluded with foreign forces to stir up trouble in Hong Kong to inflict mutual destruction on Hong Kong and to put Hong Kong in a state of turmoil
外部勢力搞香港，其實便是針對我們國家，最終目的就是要遏制中國的發展。
The external forces meddle in Hong Kong actually for the sake of targeting our country with the ultimate aim to inhibit the development of China
"台灣牌"、"香港牌"、"新疆牌"也是外國勢力慣用的招數。
The Taiwan card Hong Kong card and Xinjiang card are all the usual tactics played by foreign forces
它們串同"攬炒派"和"黑暴"，藉反修例事件搞事，煽動香港市民抗拒中央政府和香港的管治。
They have conspired with the mutual destruction camp and the rioters to using the anti - legislative amendment incident stir up trouble and incite Hong Kong people to resist the Central Government and the governance of Hong Kong
立法會運作被癱瘓，特區政府施政被阻礙。
The operation of the Legislative Council was paralysed and the administration of the Special Administrative Region SAR Government was hindered
戴耀廷甚至提出"攬炒十部曲"，最明目張膽的就是明言要癱瘓立法會，迫行政長官辭職，最終要奪取管治權。
Benny TAI even proposed the 10 steps to mutual destruction the most blatant of which was laying bare their intention to paralyse the Legislative Council force the Chief Executive to resign and ultimately seize the governing authority
他們這些行為嚴重危害了香港的憲政秩序，挑戰國家主權。
Such acts have put the constitutional and political order of Hong Kong in serious jeopardy and challenged the sovereignty of the state
這些慘痛經驗大家也是記憶猶新的。
These painful experiences are still fresh in our minds
可以說，自回歸以來，中央政府對香港高度寬容，在政制發展上所給予的廣闊空間，全部被"攬炒"分子一次過"清袋"。
It can be said that since the handover of sovereignty the Central Government has been exceedingly tolerant towards Hong Kong and given us an expansive space for constitutional development which had all been wiped out in one go by the mutual destruction elements
在香港最危急的時候，中央只能夠被迫出手，保護香港、保護國家的主權和利益，至關重要。
In the most critical time for Hong Kong the Central Authorities were forced to take actions to protect Hong Kong and the sovereignty and interests of the country which is of paramount importance
在2020年6月頒布實施《香港國安法》，是要先穩定香港局勢，保住香港不致繼續被破壞、沉淪下去，市民不致繼續惶恐度日。
The promulgation of the Hong Kong National Security Law in June 2020 was intended to stabilize the situations in Hong Kong and to ensure that Hong Kong would not continue to be subjected to destruction and sink into depravity and that the people would not continue to live in fear
事實證明，《香港國安法》能夠控制局面，令香港社會迅速回復平靜。
The Hong Kong National Security Law has proved to be able to bring the situations under control and quickly restore calm to the Hong Kong society
香港暴亂雖然被遏止，但如果制度上仍然存在漏洞，外部勢力和"攬炒派"始終會找機會反撲。
Although the riots in Hong Kong have been curbed if there are still loopholes in the system external forces and the mutual destruction camp will still find opportunities to launch counter - attacks
所以，立法會今天必須走的一步，就是完善選舉制度。
Therefore the step the Legislative Council must take today is to improve the electoral system
全國人民代表大會在2021年3月11日作出了《全國人民代表大會關於完善香港特別行政區選舉制度的決定》，提出修訂《基本法》附件一和附件二應遵循的基本原則。
The National Peoples Congress made the Decision of the National Peoples Congress on Improving the Electoral System of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on 11 March 2021 proposing the basic principles to be followed in amending Annexes I and II to the Basic Law
第一，全面準確落實"一國兩制"、"港人治港"、"高度自治"的方針。
The first principle is to fully and faithfully implement the policy of one country two systems under which the people of Hong Kong administer Hong Kong with a high degree of autonomy
第二，維護《中華人民共和國憲法》和《基本法》確定的特區憲制秩序。
The second one is to uphold the constitutional order in SAR as established by the Constitution of the Peoples Republic of China and the Basic Law
第三，確保以愛國者為主體的"港人治港"。
The third one is to ensure that the administration of Hong Kong by Hong Kong people with patriots as the main body
第四，切實提高特區治理效能。
The fourth one is to effectively improve the governance efficacy of SAR
第五，保障特區永久性居民能夠依法享有選舉權和被選權。
The fifth one is to safeguard the right to vote and the right to stand for election of permanent residents of SAR
完善香港的選舉制度，就是要為選舉制度、議會制度設立一道防火牆，防止禍港勢力和"攬炒派"透過選舉制度進入特區的政治體制。
To improve Hong Kongs electoral system is to set up a firewall for the electoral system and the parliamentary system so as to prevent the powers that scourge Hong Kong and the mutual destruction camp from entering the political system of SAR through the electoral system
前公民黨的郭榮鏗在立法會拖延了7個月，令內務委員會"搞唔成"，還有朱凱廸潑污議事堂，其他"攬炒派"議員阻撓會議進行也不計其數。
Dennis KWOK formerly from the Civic Party stalled in the Legislative Council for seven months causing the functioning of the House Committee to fall through . Also CHU Hoi - dick soiled the Chamber and there were countless incidences of other Members of the mutual destruction camp obstructing the proceedings of the meetings
議會無法運作，政府無法有效施政，最終受害的就是香港市民。
When the Council could not function and the Government could not administer effectively ultimately the people of Hong Kong would suffer
只要香港的政治體制保護得好，才能夠確保香港可以繼續發展。
Only when Hong Kongs political system is well protected can we ensure the continual development of Hong Kong
香港依法施政不能夠被拖後腿，特別現在疫情有機會"清零"時更需要進行疫後重建，政府和立法會已經無時間可以浪費了。
Hong Kongs law - based administration cannot be encumbered especially now when there is a chance of achieving zero infection regarding the epidemic it is of an even greater need to engage in post - epidemic rebuilding . The Government and the Legislative Council have no time to waste
完善選舉制度並不是要趕絕泛民，只是要隔絕禍港分子和"攬炒派"進入建制威脅香港和國家。
Improving the electoral system is not to eradicate the pan - democrats; it is only to preclude those scourging Hong Kong and the mutual destruction camp from entering the establishment to threaten Hong Kong and the country
甚麼是"愛國者治港"？
What is patriots administering Hong Kong?
簡單來說，就是要尊重中央政府對香港的管治權，保護國家和香港的安全和利益，願意效忠《基本法》和特區政府，願意為香港的未來服務。
To put it simply it means respecting the Central Governments jurisdiction over Hong Kong protecting the security and interests of the country and Hong Kong being willing to pledge allegiance to the Basic Law and the SAR Government and being willing to render service for the future of Hong Kong
《條例草案》賦權選舉委員會委員提名特首參選人之外，還可以提名立法會參選人。
The Bill empowers members of the Election Committee to nominate candidates for the Legislative Council election in addition to those for the Chief Executive election
如果這些參選人能夠獲得提名，即得到大部分香港各界人士支持，那麼，日後這些立法會議員就具有全面認受性。
Candidates who are able to secure nomination would mean that they have gained the support of the majority of members from various sectors in Hong Kong . Accordingly the future Members of the Legislative Council will gain full legitimacy
主席，在現在百年大變局的時代，香港的確需要適應和採取措施應對。
President now at this time of great changes in the century Hong Kong really needs to adapt and take corresponding measures
對任何侵害香港利益的舉動，一定需要建構一條護城河，讓城中的人可以安居，讓城中的經濟可以發展，讓城中的民主進程可以前進。
We must build a moat to guard against any move that infringes on Hong Kongs interests so that the people in the city can live in contentment the economy in the city can grow and the development of democracy in the city can progress
主席，我發言支持《2021年完善選舉制度條例草案》恢復二讀。
President I rise to speak in support of the resumption of the Second Reading of the Improving Electoral System Bill 2021 the Bill
我們數名可以回來大樓的同事，相信這輩子也不會忘記當天的混亂和驚險。
The few of us who were able to return to the Complex will I believe never forget the chaos and danger of that day
今天立法會和香港社會的穩定，跟兩年前相差很遠。
The stability of the Legislative Council and Hong Kong society today is a far cry from what it was two years ago
全靠中央頒布實施《香港國安法》，香港社會才能夠恢復秩序。
It is only thanks to the Central Governments promulgation of the Hong Kong National Security Law that order has been restored to Hong Kong society
主席，再看看你現時坐的位置，在一年多兩年前的2019年的7月1日，被進入大樓的人大肆塗污和破壞。
President look at your current seat which was defaced and vandalized by people who entered the Complex more than a year or some two years ago on 1 July 2019
我記得7月1日之後，我以行政管理委員會委員的身份，與其他議員同事進入會議廳，看一看被破壞的場面，這個會議廳簡直是被破壞到體無完膚，座位被人毀壞，有鐵馬和鐵欄搬進來，暴徒吃剩的飯盒、飲品和垃圾隨處可見。
I remember that after 1 July as a member of the Legislative Council Commission I went into the Chamber with other Members to take a look at the scene of destruction . This Chamber was simply damaged beyond recognition as seats were vandalized mill barriers and metal railings were brought in and meal boxes with leftovers drinks and rubbish dumped by the rioters were everywhere
大家可以想象當時的亂象，在這個大樓內，除了會議廳開會時出現的混亂，還有會議室1，即最大的會議室，最常看到的場面包括擲臭水、拉黑布、爬高、圍主席台等情況。
You can imagine the chaos in this Complex . During meetings not only in the Chamber but also in Conference Room 1 the largest conference room we have observed the most common scenes including hurling stink bombs holding black cloth climbing up and surrounding the Presidents podium
我們可以想一想，過去其實犧牲了多少寶貴的議會時間？
Let us think about how much valuable parliamentary time had been sacrificed in the past
有多少香港的經濟民生問題無法得到解決呢？
How many economic and livelihood problems in Hong Kong had yet to be solved?
在這樣的背景下，中央果斷出手，先在去年推出《香港國安法》，遏止"黑暴"，再在今年完善香港的選舉制度，令我們的議會能夠重回正軌。
Against this backdrop the Central Authorities took decisive action by first introducing the Hong Kong National Security Law last year to curb black - clad violence and then improving the electoral system in Hong Kong this year to put our legislature back on the right track
主席，在3月中，當全國人大宣布完善香港選舉制度後，我有機會在一個場合中，與5個國家駐港的總領事和數名反對派前議員會面。
President in mid - March after the National Peoples Congress had announced the improvement of the electoral system in Hong Kong I had the opportunity to meet with the consuls general of five countries in Hong Kong and several former opposition Members on one occasion
在當天的會面中，我一人對他們數人，他們提出很多疑問和問題，我都逐一回答。
During the meeting it was I alone versus several of them and they raised many queries and questions which I answered one by one
我想在此分享當中數個重點。
I would like to share some of the key points here
首先，他們當天不斷重複，說《香港國安法》實施後，香港人的自由權利大幅減少，而完善選舉制度後，便會限制了香港人，特別是年輕人參選和從政的機會。
First of all they kept repeating on that day that the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law had greatly eroded the freedoms and rights of Hong Kong people and that the improvement of the electoral system would restrict the opportunities of Hong Kong people especially young people to run for elections and participate in politics
我告訴他們，在"黑暴"期間，市民連出街、逛街、吃飯和看戲的自由也沒有，因為商場無故有人"和你shop"。
I told them that during the period when black - clad rioters ran amok people did not even have the freedom to go out window - shop dine out or go to the movies because someone would shop with you in the shopping mall for no good reason
在"黑暴"期間，市民真的失去自由。
During the period when black - clad rioters ran amok people really lost their freedom
在《香港國安法》實施後，如果問市民失去了甚麼自由，我想有一種自由失去了，便是顛覆政權、勾結外國勢力、推翻政府的自由，但這是犯法的。
After the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law if one asks what freedoms people have lost I think one freedom has been lost namely the freedom to subvert the regime collude with foreign forces and overthrow the government but this is against the law
有人說，立法完善選舉制度，會令年輕人參選和參政 的機會受到限制，其實這是多餘的。
Some people say that legislating to improve the electoral system will restrict young peoples chances of standing for election and participating in politics but this is actually gratuitous
事實上，完善選舉制度的目的只是要落實"愛國者治港"，這個制度只是將一些反中亂港的人摒棄於制度以外。
In fact the purpose of improving the electoral system is simply to implement the principle of patriots administering Hong Kong which only excludes those who oppose China and disrupt Hong Kong from the system
如果一個人根本沒有勾結外國勢力，不是顛覆政權、反中亂港的分子，無論是年輕人還是甚麼年紀的人，也不會被摒棄於選舉制度之外，不會被剝削參加選舉的權利。
If a person has not colluded with foreign forces and is not a subversive element that opposes China and disrupts Hong Kong he will not whether he is a young person or regardless of his age be excluded from the electoral system and will not be deprived of the right to stand for election
事實上，大家看到，自從去年11月"攬炒派"議員總辭後，這個議會也不是只有一把聲音，我們在很多政策問題上，也有很多理性的辯論。
In fact as we can see since the resignation en masse of Members from the mutual destruction camp in November last year there has been not only one voice in this Council and we have had many rational debates on many policy issues
事實上，為何中央要完善選舉制度呢？
In fact why does the Central Government want to improve the electoral system?
我認為不只是要解決香港的政治問題，更要解決香港一些深層次問題。
I think that this aims to not only solve the political problems in Hong Kong but also solve some of its deep - rooted problems
所以，我十分鼓勵一些反對派人士參選，即使我們彼此有不同政見，但只要他們是愛國人士，符合愛國愛港的原則，也應該參選，共同在議會內解決香港的問題。
For this reason I very much encourage some opposition figures to run in the election . Even if we have different political views they should as long as they are patriots who love our country and Hong Kong run in the election and work together to solve Hong Kongs problems in this Council
我們希望議會內能夠有不同的聲音，而我們的目標只有一個，便是為香港解決一些深層次問題，令市民能夠更加幸福。
We hope that there will be different voices in this Council but our only goal is to solve some deep - rooted problems for Hong Kong and make people happier
此外，在當天的聚會上，有外國領事又表示，完善選舉制度之後，選舉只會成為建制派"爭位"的遊戲，只會讓建制派爭"櫈仔"坐。
In addition at the gathering on that day a foreign consul also said that after the improvement of the electoral system the election would only become a game for the pro - establishment camp to scramble for seats allowing only the pro - establishment camp to grab a seat and sit down
相反，我認為完善選舉制度之後，只會令建制派更加團結，因為在新的選舉制度下，如果建制派要取得議會更多的議席，大家要更加團結合作，才能夠取得更多選票和議席。
On the contrary I think that after the improvement of the electoral system it will only make the pro - establishment camp more united because under the new electoral system the pro - establishment camp must be more united and cooperative in order to get more votes and seats in this Council
所以，這不會令建制派"爭位"，爭"櫈仔"，反而能夠促使建制派更加團結，我相信這是中央考慮和設計新制度時的心思，也是他們的初心。
Therefore this will not make the pro - establishment camp scramble for or grab seats but will instead make the pro - establishment camp more united . I believe this is what the Central Government had in mind when considering and designing the new system and this is also their original intention
主席，在本月初，我提出私人法案，禁止業主濫收水費，保障基層租戶的權益，我很高興能夠得到議會內各個黨派、各個界別議員的一致支持，表明這個議會的議員也是齊心為香港市民做實事。
President early this month I introduced a private bill to prohibit landlords from overcharging water charges and to protect the rights and interests of grass - roots tenants . I am very pleased to have the unanimous support of Members from various political parties and groupings and different sectors in this Council which shows that Members of this Council are united in doing practical work for the people of Hong Kong
我十分期望，在通過今天的《條例草案》，完善選舉制度之後，日後這個議會能夠更高效運作，能夠提出更多類似我提出的私人法案，透過不同法例和措施幫助基層市民，令香港的深層次問題得到解決，令香港市民能夠有更大的獲得感、幸福感和安全感。
I very much hope that after the passage of the Bill today and the improvement of the electoral system this Council can operate more efficiently in the future and introduce more private bills similar to the one I have introduced so as to help the grass roots through different laws and measures solve the deep - rooted problems of Hong Kong and enable the people of Hong Kong to have a greater sense of gain happiness and security
為人民謀幸福，也是每一位從政者的初心。
It is the original intention of every politician to work for the well - being of the people
主席，我謹此陳辭，支持恢復二讀。
With these remarks President I support the resumption of the Second Reading debate
立法會今天恢復《2021年完善選舉制度條例草案》的二讀辯論，具有重大意義，亦標誌着《條例草案》進入關鍵的最後審議階段。
Today the Legislative Council resumes the Second Reading debate on the Improving Electoral System Bill 2021 the Bill . This carries great significance and marks that the Bill has entered the critical and final stage of scrutiny
過往凡是改動政制，都會採取"三步曲"或"五步曲"的做法，但這種做法不盡善之處，在於涉及冗長和複雜的立法程序，需要花費很長時間，難免引致此起彼落的意見爭拗，絕對不可能像今次完善選舉制度的立法般，可以在短時間內，優質高效地順利完成。
In the past changes to the constitutional system would adopt the Three - step Process or the Five - step Process approach . Yet this approach was less than desirable for the legislative procedures involved would be lengthy complicated and time - consuming and would inevitably trigger lots of disputes . It is certain that the work will not be completed with high quality efficiency and smoothness within a short period as in the present case of improving the electoral systems
香港回歸以來，選舉實踐中暴露了制度漏洞和缺陷，對國家安全和香港安定構成了重大現實威脅。
Elections implemented in Hong Kong since the handover have exposed the loopholes and deficiencies of the system posting a major and real threat to national security and the stability of Hong Kong
中央政府當機立斷，依據憲法權力，在國家層面採用"決定+修法"的方式完善了香港特區的選舉制度。
The Central Government has acted decisively in accordance with its constitutional power to adopt the approach of Decision plus Amendment at the State level to improve the electoral system of HKSAR
其實，這是保證立法會可以高效率、高質素地完成本地立法的關鍵所在。
In fact this is the key to ensure that the Legislative Council can efficiently complete the local legislative exercise in an efficient and high quality manner
經全國人大常委會修改的《基本法》附件一和附件二，內容清晰而詳實，對隨後特區行政及立法機關進行本地立法工作，起到定海神針的作用，亦保證在正確的軌道上加速前進，可以說是功在當代，利在千秋。
Annexes I and II to the Basic Law as amended by NPCSC are clear and detailed in content and will serve as the pillar of the ocean in the local legislative exercise to be carried out by the executive and legislature of the SAR shortly ensuring that the progress is speeding up on the right track . The work we have done now will bring benefits lasting for centuries
必須指出的是，這次全國人大的《決定》完全沒有修改《基本法》第四十五條及第六十八條有關達致普選的最終目標。
I must point out that the NPC Decision this time around has not changed the ultimate goal of achieving universal suffrage stipulated in Articles 45 and 68 of the Basic Law
我們深信落實經完善的選舉制度，確保"愛國者治港"和保障社會整體利益，將有助促進香港的民主穩步發展。
We strongly believe that the implementation of the improved electoral system to ensure patriots administering Hong Kong and safeguard the overall interests of society will facilitate the steady development of democracy in Hong Kong
對此，全國政協副主席、港澳辦主任夏寶龍說得很清楚："愛國者治港"是"一國兩制"方針的核心要義，是推進"一國兩制"事業的時代呼喚，落實"愛國者治港"原則當然需要多項舉措、綜合施策，而其中最關鍵、最急迫的是要完善相關制度，特別是要抓緊完善有關選舉制度，確保香港管治權牢牢掌握在愛國愛港者手中。
In this connection the Vice - Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference CPPCC and the Director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office HKMAO of the State Council XIA Baolong has made it clear that Patriots administering Hong Kong is the core meaning of the principle of one country two systems and it is the call of the times to taking forward one country two systems . The implementation of the principle of patriots administering Hong Kong certainly requires various measures and comprehensive policies whereas the most crucial and pressing task is the improvement of the relevant system . It is particularly important to improve the relevant electoral system to ensure that the jurisdiction of Hong Kong is held firmly in the hands of individuals who love the country and love Hong Kong
港澳辦常務副主任張曉明對完善香港選舉制度的重要性和長遠性，亦有以下數點看法：一、是體現了習近平總書記的治港方略，在"一國兩制"實踐進程中具有重要里程碑意義；二、是維護香港特區政治穩定和政權安全的治本之策，是涉及奪權與反奪權、顛覆與反顛覆、滲透與反滲透的較量，沒有退讓的餘地；三、是構建符合香港實際情況、有香港特色的民主制度。
ZHANG Xiaoming Deputy Director of HKMAO has the following views on the importance and sustainability of improving the electoral system of Hong Kong . First it embodies the strategies of General Secretary XI Jinping for governing Hong Kong which is an important milestone in the course of implementing one country two systems . Second this is a fundamental solution for safeguarding the political stability and security of SAR
從夏寶龍和張曉明的論述可以看到，新選舉制度屬於"一國兩制"體系中的基本制度，是一種長遠安排，絕非權宜之計，將貫穿"五十年不變"的後半期。
Third this is about the construction of a democratic system suited to Hong Kongs realities and with Hong Kong characteristics . From the remarks of XIA Baolong and ZHANG Xiaoming we can see that the new electoral system is the fundamental system under one country two systems . It is a long - term arrangement rather than a stop - gap measure which will be implemented throughout the latter part of the period during which the way of life remains unchanged for 50 years
完全可以預計，將來落實《基本法》規定的雙普選，也一定是以這個新選舉制度為基礎的雙普選。
It is fully predictable that the future implementation of the dual universal suffrage as stipulated in the Basic Law will be built on the foundation of this new electoral system
最近，泛民幾個主要政黨仍糾纏於在完善選舉制度後會否繼續參選，如民主黨領導層表示最快在9月會有決定，而公民黨中人亦把參選描述得是非常委屈。
Recently a few major political parties and groupings in the pan - democratic camp are pondering whether or not they will continue to stand for election after the electoral system has been improved . For instance the leadership of the Democratic Party said that they would make the decision in September at the earliest and members of the Civic Party have also found it extremely aggrieved to stand for election
不過，大家一定仍記得，去年年中，泛民在是否延任議席的問題上，同樣惺惺作態。
Yet Members should still remember that in the middle of last year the pan - democrats were equally hypocritical on the issue of whether to stay for the extended term
剛開始的時候，泛民將球拋由民調決定，當他們發現多數民意並不認同他們延任時，為了達到留任的目的，亦以不同的理由繼續留在議會，直至所謂總辭。
In the beginning the pan - democrats let public opinion survey decide . Yet when they found out that the majority of public opinion did not approve of their stay for the extended term they used different excuses to stay in the legislature until the so - called mass resignation
