LIBERAL group Meeting Point yesterday joined calls for China and Britain to strike a deal on the 1994 district board election independently of the 1995 Legco polls.
The group is the fourth political party, following the Liberal Party, the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong (DAB), and the Hong Kong Democratic Foundation, to call on both sides to treat sections of the Governor's electoral package separately.
Chairman of Meeting Point, Anthony Cheung Bing-leung, said it was technically feasible to separate the district board electoral arrangements from those of the Legislative Council.
''It makes no big difference to us whether the electoral bill on the 1994 and the 1995 arrangements have been split or not.
''We will still support details such as lowering the voting age from 21 to 18 and the voting system of single-seat single-vote,'' he said.
Splitting the package into two would allow more time for both governments to continue to talk, he said.
