四大政治任務


從備受質疑能否取得足夠提名到以六百八十九票低票當選,梁振英先生登上特首寶座之途,可說是一波三折。他能夠脫穎而出,除了唐英年幫他一把外,中聯辦之力撐更尤為關鍵。坊間傳聞不斷稱中央為支持梁振英出任特首開出了「四大政治任務」的條件。我們無法證實這些傳聞是否屬實,但從特區整體利益而言、從確保管治質素不繼續下滑而言,梁確實有四大政治任務必須正視:

一、政制改革

能否及如何落真普選始終是特區最深層次的矛盾。可惜縱觀梁振英的參選政綱卻對普選立場隻字不提,加上一再拒絕現身於民主派的公開論壇、不斷迴避有關未來政制發展的話題,令人感到他只會聽命於中央,而缺乏為港人爭取盡快落實真普選之決心。這亦將會是令他最難與民主派合作的重要關卡。

二、中港關係

梁振英的選舉工程得以起死回生,最明顯不過的是後期得到中央的力撐,甚至令人懷疑中聯辦行為有否違反《基本法》第二十二條所規定之中央人民政府所屬各部門「不得干預香港特別行政區根據《基本法》自行管理的事務」之條文。當選後翌日,梁更不惜一反憲制先例,到中聯辦「拜訪」個多小時,給予特區及國際社會一個有違一國兩制、港人治港之形象。如何修補這負面形象,將是個頗大的政治工程。

三、言論自由

特區最少有四成人相信唐英年對梁振英打壓言論自由之指控屬實。從宣布他當選那天起,警務人員收窄言論、表達自由之空間,顯然易見;坊間更不斷傳言為二十三條立法將會是梁肩負的主要政治重任,而他更直言不諱說立法是特區之憲制責任。言下之意,似是事在必行。加上傳聞他班子內律政司一職將由「紅色大狀」出任,更令人感到立法如箭在弦。如何改變這形勢,港人能否維護新聞、言論、表達自由等香港核心價值將會是一大挑戰。

四、貧富差距

梁振英的選舉形象似是站在市民的一邊而得不到商界支持。但這形象亦加深了商界與市民互不信任的鴻溝;加上回歸十多年,貧富懸殊日益嚴重,這社會矛盾何時得以化解是任何一位在任特首首要解決的課題。梁以關注基層市民建立親民形象,如何可成為商民之間的橋梁,化解深層次的矛盾,相信比任何一屆特首的工作尤為困難和重要。

要完成這「四大政治任務」,梁特首必須首要修補行政、立法關係,廣納不同政見人士,凝聚共識,建立包容。然而,現在仍受立法會專責小組調查的梁,怎麼可令社會信服他有能力和決心做到這幾點?尤為重要的是,凡此種種挑戰和障礙均凸顯着新一屆政府施政所面對的困難重重。加上最近模擬特首選舉運動顯示有接近二十萬港人及逾八成二之投票者皆不支持梁出任特首,這個缺乏公信力和認受性的弱勢政府,更是在從執政那一天開始,已面對前所未有的困難和障礙。

While CY may not be perfect and I am not particularly fond of him, I genuinely cannot identify someone who would have showed up and made a better CE-to-be than CY: The problems identified in the article have remained unsolved for quite some time. Regarding the concerns over freedom of speech and "red appointees", under present circumstances, if our CE is to deal well with the Mainlanders (which is practically our only option), he has to be either an indifferent person like DT, one who has been "affiliated" like Henry, or one who is experienced in such matters. That rules out some pan-democrats. On top of that, we are concerned with having a not-so-unreasonable-nor-indifferent CE. That rules out Henry. Rita Fan has obviously been blowing hot and cold. And people would think Regina Yip should not be entrusted with tasks relating to Art 23. Theresaid seems like CY is very acceptable unless he turns out to be not...
