Today imagine yourself as a politician

Today imagine yourself as a (poor) (Hong Kong) politician:-

  1. First, you got to join (and pick a good one with future) an under-developed party.
  2. Learn all the fuzzy election system and the rules varied between local and legislative councils.
  3. Pledge yourself to a *master*.... (well, hope he is one with reputation)
  4. Generate local support from wealthy tai-tai or local see-lai (vary between suburbs) via arranging free banquets and tours.
  5. Stand in front of rushing station exits. Shout pointless views regarding traffic fares...
  6. Place yourself on the ballot list... via fighting thru reputation within the party.
  7. More local tours, banquets and station-shouts.
  8. Get yourself a seat in the local council. Earn $$ thru arranging more tours and banquet. Dight the station-shouts. Instead, try collecting signatures.
  9. Occasionally, propose pointless motions at the local council.
  10. Get yourself on TV thru helping *angry* por por (elderly), complaining the smelly neighbour(s) and public toilet.
  11. Repeat pt.4 to pt.10 until 20 years into politics. The *master* policians had been all dead... place your name on the ballot list at the legislative council election.
  12. Throughout election campaign, be an out-rage person, attacking whatever the opposition propose. Get a fan club.
  13. Finally, get $80000+ a month + office allowance + (oh!) a comfortable seat within the legislative council building.
  14. More TV interviews. (Remember to) Oppose everything said by the government.
  15. Occasionally, go on street. No riot. Just more shouting.
  16. Do not slip your position on neither left-wing or right-wing... just stand still.
  17. Keep bargaining pointless propose and raise long-debate and motions.
  18. Do more TV interviews.
  19. Get re-elected.
  20. (Finally) Get an advisory job at property tycoons' corporations. (And, of course) Earn $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and a comfortable seat with a view of (limited edition) Hong Kong Victoria Harbour.

So, how cool is it to be a (poor) (Hong Kong) politican.
