15 Pro-Dem Legislators' Stay in #LegCo to be Decided by Public Opinion Poll
The pro-democracy legislators' decision of whether or not to stay in the Legislative Council for the next year has been up to debate, after the Carrie Lam adminstration postponed the Legislative Election by a year.
15 pro-democracy legislators had decided to use a public opinion poll to determine their stay in the Legislative Council, with the Democratic Party entrusting the Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (#HKPORI) to conduct one.
Chairman of Democratic Party Wu Chi-wai stated that they would leave if half of all participating supporters believes that the pro-democracy camp should leave the Legislative Council.
Participating legislators include seven from the Democratic Party, five from the Civic Party, Claudia Mo from HK First, Fernando Cheung from the Labour Party and Shiu Ka-chun from the Social Welfare functional constituency. Leung Yiu-chung from the Neighbourhood and Worker's Service Centre also expressed that he would take the polls to account.
HKPORI Director Prof. Robert Chung believes that the Institute had decreased the gray area in the current threshold, but stated that "politically neutral" participants would also be taken in account, causing the percentage for those in favour or against the stay to be both not more than half.
When asked about the protocol for such an event, Wu stated that they would take different information into account before making a political judgement.
As for why they were only taking supporters of the participating legislators into account, and not towards all pro-democratic supporters, the Democractic Party stated that it had once considered for all supporters of the pro-democratic camp to participate, but Prof. Chung denied the request stating that the legislator's citizen authorisation came from their supporters.
Prof. Chung had been adamant on Friday, stating that were pro-democratic legislators not tied down, they should not have asked for authorisation.

Nearly 60% of Hong Kong people were unhappy in the past year: public opinion survey reveals
Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (#HKPORI) released the latest survey finding on popularities of the Chief Executive and her Administration on December 29, 2020.
At an individual level, 59% of the respondents said they were unhappy in 2020, 1 percentage point higher than the year before (58%). Only 13% said they were happy in 2020, 6 percentage points lower than the year before (20%). The net happiness value in the year past stood at negative 45 percentage points, again hitting a new low since the survey series began in 1992.
#RobertChung Ting-yiu, Chairman and CEO of HKPORI described the sharp fall in Hong Kong peopleās happiness rating as ācliff-breakingā. The rating in net happiness among Hong Kong people declined from 40% in 2018 to negative 38% in 2019. Chung explained that this is related to the changing political and economic environment in Hong Kong, as well as the pandemic hit. He opined that people with different political backgrounds and stance were all unhappy, otherwise, the rating wonāt be declining so rapidly.
Besides, the survey showed that the popularity rating of Chief Executive Carrie Lam stood at 29.7 points. Her approval rate is 18%, disapproval rate 69%, giving a net popularity of negative 51 percentage points. As many as 44% of the survey respondents gave 0 score to the CEās overall rating.
Regarding the HKSAR Government, the latest satisfaction rate was 17%, whereas 60% were dissatisfied, thus net satisfaction stood at negative 43 percentage points. The mean score is 2.1, meaning close to āquite dissatisfiedā in general.
The survey showed several negative ratings on government performance. Robert Chung criticized that the ratings showed that the cityās government has been going against public opinion in many of its policies.
