Experts: HK government loses credibility for twisting election system as Carrie Lam’s support rating drops to new low
The Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (#PORI) interviewed 1,000 Hong Kong citizens between Jan 4 and Jan 8, 2021.
Results showed that Chief Executive Carrie Lam’s support rating averaged at 29. The net support rating was -54%, a 3% drop from half a month ago.
The net support rating of Chief Secretary for Administration Matthew Cheung was -29%, while that of Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po was -14%. Secretary for Justice Teresa Cheng’s support rating, which has always been low, dropped further to -52%, a new record since October 2020.
According to Reuters on Jan 12, 2021, Beijing intended to forcefully change Hong Kong's electoral system and law. These include further delaying the postponed Legislative Election and changing the formation method of the 1,200-person election committee to select Hong Kong’s Chief Executive in 2022, in order to curtailing the influence of the pro-democracy camp.
Baptist University Professor in political science and member of the Hong Kong Election Observation Project, Kenneth Chan, criticised that if the government keeps refusing to learn its lessons and twisting election policies, its credibility is just going to drop even further. He also indicated that the way the government has repeatedly used national security as an excuse to abuse its power and frame the innocent just represented “the end of one country two systems” and made Hong Kong one step closer to be under a similar dictatorship to North Korea. “Everyone might as well just be ordained (by China). It is nonsense.”
PORI deputy executive director, Dr. Chung Kim Wah, criticised the government's lack of self-awareness and added that if the government continues to trump up its power and twist the election system, it will rather just make Hong Kongers lose their trust towards the system than actually fixing the problem.
