A failure of a ballot by protesters in Hong Kong

Summery

 

Protesters in Hong Kong called off a ballot about whether to accept government concessions or not. This is because protesters’ opinions about a format of the vote were divided and protest leaders thought they could not hold it. In Hong Kong, a lot of protesters, especially students, have requested the government to receive “full democracy” and done sit-ins since September. At first, Hong Kong government did not allow these actions and tried to suppress them. However, protesters have stood up to this and the government has no choice but to make a concession about democratic system. Considering a failure of a ballot to decide protesters’ policy, it is hard for both the government and protesters to find a point of compromise.

 

My opinion

 

I think that protesters should get opinions in shape and decide clearly what they demand for the government. Now, opinions of protesters were divided and they do not unite. If this situation continues, the government will try to attack them by inner maneuver and oppression. In addition, an internal strife over the course of the campaign can happen. To avoid this and realize the first democratic society in China, demonstrators have to unite and decide their policy.  In conclusion, the ballot should be held as soon as possible.
