Hong Kong lawmakers are debating the controversial political reform package put forward by the government ahead of a likely vote today.

The proposal will likely fail, as the number of 'yes' votes (41, versus 28 for those against it) is below the two-thirds majority (47) of votes in the 70-member Legislative Council. Five lawmakers on the 'no' side would need to switch sides to change the expected outcome of the ballot, assuming president Jasper Tsang (of pro-Beijing party DAB) - who will only vote if necessary, such as if there is a tie - goes in favour of the reform package.
