Don't know if you're following the story, but all our Pro-Democracy Legco Councilors are trying to force Beijing's hand - to allow Hong Kong democracy - so have resigned en masse in order that The People will have to vote for them and thus we'll be a democracy.
Beijing's response is that no one is allowed to contest them thus stopping it being a real election, with all the subsequent publicity and debates with Pro-Beijing types and all that stuff, and has ordered the Punti voters to simply sign them in again, thus turning the whole thing into an anti-climax.
So it's all go, go, go here on the political front! And that's me exercising my left pre-frontal parahippsomething gland, better known as "the irony chip", which, apparently, Asians from China don't possess.
Mind you, neither do Americans, which is why they always let you know they're being ironic by saying "Not!" afterwards.
However that's all by-the-by because the story here is our big political drama - NOT!!! - and the very latest on that front is that, because everyone walked out on their resignation speeches, they took back their resignations in order to resign again next week so they do get to give their speeches ... only no one will listen again, so they can keep on doing this silliness forever.
It's all quite odd, isn't it! Don't quite get it myself, but, you know, vive le roi or whatever.
