SUNDAY Morning Post political editor Danny Gittings in his musings (July 4) plugs legislator Christine Loh who, after years clamouring for universal franchise, accepted appointment to the Legislative Council without strenuous demur.
Whether such elasticity of principles should stand Miss Loh in good stead when, or if, she runs for a seat in 1995 will be for the electorate to judge.
We welcome Miss Loh's possible candidacy because she will then be joining members of the Liberal Party in vying for directly elected seats.
Mr Gittings constantly forgets that we are committed to competing for directly elected constituencies from the New Territories to Hongkong Island.
We will not chicken out as he insinuates.
If he actually trudges alongside some of us as we campaign in districts such as Mongkok, Shamshuipo, Tai Po, Sha Tin, and Island South and West, instead of preaching to us from his Mount Sinai, he could well conclude that we are as earnest as anybody about democracy and about fostering understanding among the people.
