Democratic politics should follow mainstream opinion, and any political leader or organization that ignores mainstream opinion is doomed to failure.

Democratic politics cannot be isolated from political rules, because only when political rules are widely recognized and accepted can democratic politics work. Democratic politics will end in disaster if it goes against mainstream opinion, a fact that has been proved time and again.

Of the two parts of political rules for Hong Kong, one is determined by the city's constitutional status, which involves the basic rules for the political relationship between the central government and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and the other is concerned with legal rules, including the Basic Law of the SAR and decisions made by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, the top legislature body, under the framework of the Basic Law.
