延期也许会使激情消退,但是时间不会长久。由于现任行政长官曾荫权的任期接近尾声,香港选举权的根本问题变得更加分化。今年七月,标志着曾荫权执政最后一年的开始。2012年,一个精挑细选的拥有1200个成员的特别委员会将会选出曾荫权的继任者。
To most Hong Kongers it is a rigged contest. Of the desultory crew of candidates beingmooted, the three most likely share a salient characteristic: they are dependably pro-Beijing. One of them, Rita Fan Hsu Lai-tai, a former president of Legco with a schoolmarmishmanner, enjoys a measure of popularity. Another, Leung Chun-ying, is a force in theproperty world. He is rumoured to have some ideas up his sleeve, which would be a welcomechange. But in opinion polls he draws lower numbers than any other candidate underconsiderationperhaps because of his close ties to Chinas Communists. The emergingfavourite, with only marginally better ratings, is Henry Tang Ying-yen, the current chiefsecretary, whose most memorable recent public pronouncement has been his defence of thedespised property tycoons who get blamed for the territorys extortionate housing prices.
对于大部分的香港民众来说,这是一个操纵选举的较量。这些背景参差不齐的候选人中,三个希望最大候选人都具有一个显著特征:他们是忠实的亲北京派。其中之一,带有女校长举止的立法委员会前任主席范徐丽泰,很受欢迎。另外一个,梁振英,他是房地产领域的重量级人物。据说他有些锦囊妙计,这将会是一个可喜的变化。然而民意调查显示,他的支持者数量在所有候选人中最低,这也许是因为他和中国共产党的密切关系。最近出现的民意调查中稍占优势的是现任政务司司长唐英年,他最近的引人瞩目的公开声明,为受到歧视的房地产大亨作了辩护,此房地产大亨因香港过高的房价而受指责。
