Ex-39 What does Democracy Really Mean?
(Kar) According to The Basic Law of articles No. 25-26 those permanent residents of the HKSAR, who over the age of eighteen, shall have the right to vote and stand of election in accordance with law.
The age of adulthood is eighteen, the age when young people are qualified to vote. However, some of them are too young to realize the purpose of the candidates and are less mature to judge which candidate is really loyal to all the electorates or to their party.
It is necessary that parents and teachers should explain clearly to the young people that the real mean of democracy. They should also teach them to judge that whether the candidates who are really conscientious, responsible, to all the people or not. And encourage them to keep open minds accepting the views of democratic politicians.
In my opinion, true democracy should be responsible to the voters, listen to the views of others, tolerate different views from other parties and less argue or confront with others in the society. Furthermore, the elected candidates should really represent the voters or the citizens, and support legislation to help all the underprivileged people. Assist the Government to create an egalitarian society.
On the other hand, the electorates should supervise the elected politicians whether they have fulfilled their promises and performed their duties faithfully or not. And observe their purpose if they are to get power for themselves or their party.
