Civility Dialogue Series No. 8
“Democracy Promoted or Betrayed?”
『寸土必爭還是出賣民主？』
Guest: Mr. Albert Ho Chun-yan 何俊仁先生
(Democratic Party Chairman 民主黨主席)
Content: In this dialogue, you are invited to have conversation with Mr. Ho on the following topics:
1) Wasn’t it politically suicidal to negotiate with one-party dictatorship for democracy? 與專權政府進行談判爭民主，不是與虎謀皮嗎?
2) With the pledge to fight for universal suffrage in 2012 broken, can the people of Hong Kong still trust the Democratic Party? 2012 雙普選承諾落空了，民主黨哪一點堅定可靠呢？
3) The way forward: more compromise or more confrontation? 政制如何向前走：繼續妥協還是不斷抗爭？
Time: 8:15pm – 10:00pm
Date: Wednesday, 29 September 2010
Venue: Multi-Purpose Hall A
Student Residence City University of Hong Kong
All are Welcome1
Mr. Albert Ho is the Chairman of the Democratic Party—the largest opposition party in Hong Kong’s legislature. Mr. Ho is a lawyer by profession and has participated in Hong Kong’s democratic movement for decades. He was instrumental in striking a compromised deal with Beijing in the recent constitutional reform in Hong Kong. Supporters of the deal hailed it as a step forward for democracy but critics, including many democrats, said it was a betrayal.
1 We would like to invite a group of residents/students/alumni to sit on the stage to directly ask Mr. Ho questions or comment on his views in each of the three above-mentioned topics during the Dialogue. If you are interested in being a member of this group, please send a message with your name, contact number and email address to the Residence Master of Alumni Civility Hall at scccy@cityu.edu.hk at your earliest convenience.
