【明報專訊】THE government is to put its package of proposals for the methods of selecting the Chief Executive (CE) and forming the Legislative Council (Legco) in 2012 to the vote in Legco next Wednesday. Much negotiation has taken place since more than six months ago. As matters stand, the constitutional reform is in a critical stage. The only thing that can save it now is the "amended District Council (DC) plan" the Democratic Party and the Alliance for Universal Suffrage have put forward. In our view, the central government and the establishmentarians should, having regard to Hong Kong's overall interests, give the green light to it. By doing so, they can allow Hong Kong's constitutional system to "move forward" and avert what would be detrimental to Hong Kong's development - prevent its political ecology from radicalising, its political situation from worsening and its government from weakening. By doing so, they can also bring about a new era of healthy interactions. We support the "amended DC plan". Its adoption would greatly delight us.
