【明報專訊】THE second round of public consultation on constitutional reform has failed to generate much public response, thanks to the pan-democrats' boycott of the consultation. If this state of affairs continues, the reform is doomed to be vetoed by the pan-democratic lawmakers, as the officials in charge have said. There will then be no election of the chief executive by universal suffrage in 2017, and the existing electoral arrangements will remain unchanged. However, opinion polls have again and again shown that the majority of the public would like to elect their chief executive by "one person, one vote".
