the public opinion of Hong Kong people and let their society decide their own path. If it works, perhaps we should follow.
- the brain of those writing the script at state media must be splitting
- this happens when ppl can vote and is why HK can’t implement universal suffrage

- if pro-establishment wins, the silent majority spoke; if they lose, blame it on foreign interference
- a short but telling “hoho”
There are also comments urging Chinese authorities to send in the tanks instead and abolish 1C2S, and some who cannot understand the results.

The turnout for District Council elections this morning is absolutely unprecedented. The queue at my local polling station does a complete lap around the housing estate. I didn’t have to line up *at all* to vote in the last election. Demographics are a cross-section of society.
As promised, there are riot police here in militarised garb but they’re not masked, wielding shields, or pointing batons/other weapons anywhere so the equivalent of your neighbourhood bobby in today’s HK. In fact they’re on their phones—estate security are doing all the work.
Yesterday in Stanley was the first time in months I saw police in regular blue uniforms walking their beat on foot. It’s noteworthy that officers’ fear of doxxing isn’t based on the fact they’re policing but *how* they’re policing.
I’m standing in line to vote in the Water St elections and I am at least three turns away from the polling station.
As I near the station, those in the queue are directing lost-looking people to the end of the line. The line is so long it’s actually faster to walk around the back of the polling station rather than to follow the line from the front to the end.

Posters are really popular around Hong Kong, especially on the Lennon Walls and "Lennon-floors",, but STICKERS are also popular.
This will be my thread for protest related stickers I see.
