Why postpone the Legislative Council elections? Mainland's supporters cannot make it: Tam Yiu-chung
Host: How will it affect mainland supporters?
Tam: It's not that they don't want to come [to Hong Kong] and vote, but that they can't come here at all!
Host: Why can't they come? There are no traffic problems.
Tam: 14 days (of quarantine)!
Host: Well, they can come earlier.
Tam: Then, they have nowhere to stay.
Host: They have nowhere to live in Hong Kong?
Tam: Of course not, they've already moved to the Greater Bay Area so what can they do? And they can't come back here because of the quarantine.
Tam's words were a rude awakening. No wonder there are tourist buses taking people to vote at every election. An example was the District Council elections in November last year. Bus upon bus of voters suspected to be from the mainland were taken to the voting station at Man Kiu College, a constituency in Braemar Hill. No matter from what angle you look at them, they still didn't look like Braemar Hill residents!
