However, I believe the Legco chamber should be a place where rational discussion takes place on political matters. Members of the working class, even if they are on low incomes or threatened with layoffs, are obedient citizens who would not support any unruly behaviour.

Mr Cheng said that the league lawmakers' 'latest disturbance can hardly be called an act of violence; it was merely a breach of the rules of procedure'. What they did might not be illegal, but I believe it was morally wrong.

Mr Cheng is wrong to see an association between the working class and such irrational behaviour. Members of Hong Kong's working class observe the rules of society. Even when they suffer great economic hardship they remain dignified and maintain high moral standards.

Aggressive behaviour does attract attention and maybe the league legislators feel a sense of satisfaction with their actions. But this is not what the Legislative Council is about. If all the league members can do in the chamber is mount populist protests, then they will contribute little to the legislative process.

I urge the pan-democrats to take appropriate action in this matter and help to eradicate this kind of stupid behaviour in the Legco chamber.

We want to see our lawmakers acting rationally and following the correct procedures. We do not want to see the kind of outbursts that sometimes take place in the Taiwanese parliament.

If the league wants to continue to behave in the way it has done, then the three lawmakers should resign from Legco and concentrate instead on street protests.
