Ordinary Gweilo

Just a quick follow-up to what I wrote on Monday on Tsang Yok-sing’s suggestion that a nomination committee should choose the candidates for the next Chief Executive election (with the electorate then able to vote on which of the candidates should get the job). Thursday’s SCMP has a piece from Frank Ching saying that this idea has merit and should be considered by the Democratic Party, even though it is less than ideal. Which is more-or-less what I said (in considerably fewer words). Not sure whether that is a good or bad thing, but it made me happy!
