   Never seen a District Council election promoted as hard as this one.

   Probably because the new "better governance" election it's the most useless and pointless district election since the District Boards were established 40 years ago.

Besides, all district councilors candidate who opt for election must be vetted and passed by the new District Council Eligibility Review Committee. The proposal has been approved by Legislative Council in July 2023."

     @gemlog The 20% elected seats are for show. And even those 20% don't have open nomination, candidates are pre-screened. Anyone with an opinion is incarcerated, in exile or keeping quiet.

     @clacke The party may as well simply appoint their favs and stop the sham. That's what it looks like from here anyhow.
