香港文化近年起哄,很多議題其實需要得市民認受的議會去處理,偏偏代表文化、演藝、體育及出版界別的霍震霆,竟是芸芸立法會裡議員中,依據考勤紀錄被評為去屆議會「表現最差」、並遭點名「譴責」的一員。[參立法會議員天主教監察組2008報告]如此屢次被指表現不濟的議員,竟仍可在是屆功能組別「自動當選」,難怪梁文道同要大喊狀況「可恥」!
[功能組別+霍老闆]
其實同為香港奧委會主席的霍震霆早前公佈香港奧運火炬手的名單時,梁文道已譏那「滿佈親中權貴,酬庸氣味濃得叫人欲嘔的名單」不是霍主席所謂的「香港社會的縮影」而是「香港社會權力結構的縮影」。這次霍震霆挾如斯差劣往績卻「可恥」還想連任,而文化界則又「不恥」於參選不公不義的功能組別[參政藝小組:讓我們聯署!],結果導生的自動當選,其實正又是當前立法會包含功能組別怪胎的「香港政治權力結構縮影」。
事實上,與霍震霆同列「表現差劣」的十個議員中,除卻劉千石,九個屬為功能組別,其中六個(包括商界(二)、金融服務界、金融界、勞工界、鄉議局界別)又經已自動再當選,令三十席的功能組別共出現十四個自動當選!這跟地區直選的激烈競爭,無疑差天共地。)然而功能組別安排,不單在立法會瓜分了一半議席、常因政治分贓、界別私利而阻礙有利民生法案,還膽敢以「均衡參與」名義試圖箍咒到我們「最終全面普選」頭上。
[中間分界=無得揀!]
為了突顯功能組別此一畸形政治結構縮影的荒謬,我們選了以(參考霍公子的)中間分界髮型作為抗議的標記,邀請大家「齊梳中間界,為廢功能組別表態!」速速把你梳上中間分界髮型的個人照片,連同你想對這位你無得揀的霍議員講的話電郵來:hkpartg@gmail.com,讓我們在下周版頁組次型爆示威!

誰不痛恨功能組別?
想了幾天,決定參加,我影這張相,功能組別明天不會立即消失,但
一日不拿起手機,一日不能踢走功能組別﹗
Q嘜榮譽
嘩,好不雅啊!

FOR YOUR ENGLISH SPEAKING FRIENDS
According to the most recent Legco monitoring group report, 9 out of 10 top lazybones in Legco came out of functional constituencies. However, 6 in which were automatically re-elected, alongside the other 8 uncontested functional constituencies candidates. The one in particular which got denounced by the concern group, is Timothy Fok, representative of the functional constituency of Sports, Performing Arts, Culture and Publication.
To emphasis on the inrighteousness of legco still having half of its 60 seats reserved for functional constituencies, and the ridiculous talk trying to retain functional constituencies, continuing this proportion setting, onto our ultimate goal of universal suffrage, we decided to start a signature campign to state our stance for the abolishment of the functional constituencies and boycotting its election.
To raise the attention upon the issue further, last Sunday in MingPao, we invited people to comb their hair parted in the middle (after Timothy Fok’s infamous hairstyle), take a photo, and send it in to us at hkpartg@gmail, together with anything you might like to speak out to Timothy Fok, or over the functional constituencies arrangement. We will gather all these received photos and statements to form a joint protest on MingPao this coming Sunday (election day).
Do Join in the Protest (and have fun)!

中間分界題
空間,似有還無!
未來的四年,
我們可以有什麼的空間,
霍震霆議員?
立法局分中間界
今天,我們看似熱熱鬧鬧的選議員,但事實是,有另外三十位議員,一般民眾是沒法選擇的。未來四年,我們還是只得一半的民主空間。(Para/Site 藝術空間)

真是功能黨!
公民黨愈說話,我對其愈不恥。
唔知毛孟靜會唔會好後悔當日第二次論壇自己追問黃毓民關於泛民該唔該參加功能組別?但與其賴落社民連,不如好好自我檢討,尤其整個公民黨,去思考其積極參選功能組別會否才是其支持度一直下降的理由?不單西九落選,還有九東的低、新界東的低。港島就是拿了兩席,卻也揭示吹谷十萬票是大誇了,害了何秀蘭作為獨立議員最後還要再次動員。至於張超雄落選的新界西,也望別怪陳偉業追問你關於你黨友譚香文的問題,反過來,既然真心為了基層,就快快在跳出功能組別後,跳埋出這個黨吧!叫我同原想同情的吳靄儀,你說功能組別不該是代表業界利益,卻口口聲聲以法律業界選你來支撐你反對功能組別的意向,你知不知道這其實正是加強了功能組別(能產生出認受性)的認受性,以及吻合了那些強說保留功能組別也可以代表超出業界利益的論述?甚至成為他們口實的一部份!)至於余黨魁,認吧,公民黨從來「都是」明星效應!有人指你不支持2012是錯的?別撐了!你不是就答04年單張有提2012普選?那今日呢?你說日後還是會這樣爭功能組別,不就是否定了支持下屆取消功能組別?否定下屆全面直選?

補充(郭家麒例子)
被立法會議員天主教監察組讚許上屆表現的醫學界議員郭家麒這次落選,再次說明功能組別議員代表誰的利益的結構性問題不可解決,不是沒有應該如何,卻是沒有必須如何,故必須從改變政制入手才能解決問題. (jl)
如何改變政制?
I think that's the ultimate question. You can try to change the system from within or from the outside and I think aim of the civic party is to gain majority for the democratic camp to change the system from within. Is that going to be possible? I don't know... probably not... but that's one approach. Honestly, the structural problem of the system hardly stops at the functional constituency, but I don't think people should use that as a reason to disengage from general election entirely.
