		Although the 18 district councils are charged only with advising the government on local issues like sanitation and infrastructure, Sunday's vote was the first since the mass rally and was seen as a crucial barometer of public opinion.

	Foreign Correspondents' Club Hong Kong - The Correspondent - Feb-March 03
		When the Security Bureau finally published its multi-volume compendium of responses to the highly controversial and predictably divisive consultation paper, it inexplicably classified the FCC's submission as "unclear" whether the Club was for or against the Article 23 legislation.
		Also listed as "unclear" was, for example, the submission from the Anti-Article 23 web site organised by Cyd Ho, a Frontier legislator.
		The thousands of e-mail signatures collected on-line by the site's organisers and included in its submission will not be counted in the consultation summary report because the Bureau says it has no way to know whether they're simply names obtained from a mailing list.

	Democracy wins big in Hong Kong vote / Residents flood polls; pro-Beijing party suffers losses (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		While the councils normally deal mainly with precinct-level issues such as traffic congestion and zoning laws, the issue of democratic reform dominated several key races.
		In one constituency encompassing central and western Hong Kong Island, for example, pro-democracy candidate Cyd Ho defeated her DAB opponent Ip Kwok- him in a high-profile campaign that focused almost exclusively on the candidates' positions on two issues: the controversial anti-subversion law and the future of democratic reform.
		Those same pro-democracy activists earlier this month announced formation of a lobby advocating reforms that would allow Hong Kong's next chief executive to be chosen by universal suffrage when Tung's term expires in 2007.

	After Hong Kong Election, China Faces New Calculus (washingtonpost.com)
		But Martin Lee, a founding father of the territory's democracy movement, won 50,000 more votes than he needed, drawing support from a fellow democracy advocate and allowing a pro-Beijing rival to prevail.
		Lee had campaigned aggressively in the final days before the election, afraid he might be ousted after 18 years in the council, and on Monday, he appeared on the verge of tears that his efforts had cost a colleague, Cyd Ho, her seat by about 800 votes.
		Ho was gracious in defeat, but noted that democrats had won more than 200,000 votes in the district to the 140,000 won by the pro-Beijing camp, yet the six seats were divided evenly between them.

		One area where I think EWSN is being a trifle unfair is in saying (even with the benefit of hindsight) that it was a mistake to field two separate lists of pro-democracy candidates on HK Island.
		The reason for having two lists is because some voters might support Audrey Eu (or Cyd Ho) but not be so keen on Yeung Sum or Martin Lee (or vice versa), so a single list might be off-putting for some people.
		The pundits also don't mention that Lau and Ho were campaigning on the last day in Kowloon with Albert Cheng.
