I refer to the results of the opinion poll on Governor Chris Patten's performance conducted for the South China Morning Post (October 7).
The drop in the number of those who have no opinion on the matter has been overlooked by your reporters.
I think this is very encouraging for the future of Hong Kong as more and more people now have a political viewpoint.
There was also an increase in those who were both satisfied and dissatisfied with his performance.
This indicates the Governor makes a significant impression on the people of Hong Kong.
There are many criticisms of the Governor, but people in the territory should be indebted to him for arousing their political conscience. This is a very important contribution to the political development of Hong Kong.
