Predicament

Today is the district election day. As a citizen of responsibility I should go to vote.

But there is a selection predicament in my district.

One is from DAB, the other is from People Power, the so called DAB team B. Interestingly, if PP is team B, it should not have been becoming one of the candidate to versus the team A. But it is what the situation is. I have to choose among the two. And I don't like their parties.

Nevertheless, I still took a look at their election platform, comparing and contrasting it. After that I should decide who to vote.

The platform from the Team A was specific and showed that he really knew what was going on in our district. The crime. The prostitution. The transportation. They were something that annoy us for a long time.

The one from his competitor was broad and general. Democracy. Education. Health Care. His platform was supposed for someone to go to the Legislation Council. Anyhow, it was not really tailor-made for us.

I finally chose the Team B. Interesting, huh? It was based on the OSCE principle. For DAB Team A candidate, he was good in saying specific platform, but at the same time, he said something really irritated me. He emphasized that he would eradicate the unlicensed hawkers in our district, which I 100% disagreed with. Our town is a small town. Our people are not rich enough to go to the supermarkets for daily needs. In many occasions, we rely on the hawkers to provide us the necessities. If he is to clear up the streets, where shall we buy the stuff we need in a reasonable price?

It is as if a candidate who says will discharge a symptomatic psychotic patient for out-patient management. Wrong to society. Wrong to the patient.
