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