Charles Mok 可圈可點

民主會變成人民大革命！

今早特首曾蔭權在香港電台 Radio 3接受訪問（線上觀看、收聽），談到民主：

Hugh Chiverton: "Despite what you were saying, Mr Tsang, I was struck by one phrase toward the end of the policy address, you say we promote democratic development without compromising social stability or government efficiency. That kind of implies that democratic development does compromise social stability or government efficiency..."

Donald Tsang: "It can, it can. If one goes to the extreme, people can go to the extreme, you have the Cultural Revolution for instance in China, where people taking everything into their hands, then you cannot govern the place. And the similar thing is for instance..."

Hugh Chiverton: "The Cultural Revolution wasn't really an extreme example of democracy, isn't..."

Donald Tsang: "It is people taking power into their own hands, now, this is what is meant by democracy, if they take it to the full swing. And, in other democracies, you have even an elected person...you overturn a policy, in California for instance, you have initiative number what, and then you overturn the policy of the government. That is not necessarily conducive to efficient government. And, so, you, you have to strike the balance somewhere...you, you, you at the end of the day, I do believe we in Hong Kong are moving in a rational manner. Um, but as far as universal suffrage goes, you know my personal commitment. And my administration started the ball rolling within a fortnight of our installment and immediately we go into work. And I am still determined to help people of Hong Kong achieve universal suffrage, arrive in a good package of universal suffrage within my administration."

文化大革命是民主的極端？
中國一早已有民主？
港人治港下人民原來是不能有權力在手的？
反對政府政策是有違政府效率？

原來特首對民主理解是這樣的，是我不懂還是他不懂？
