Legco election campaign strategy
This is what I notice lately...
I saw Mrs. Yip and Dr. Shih (HK Island Legco election candidates) waving to 'me' on the street of Garden Road ( I was in a van). And the a few days later, another lady Miss Chan (HK Island Legco election candidate) standing on the other side of the road waving to the cars that passed by. Then when I was in Kowloon Tong MTR station, Kowloon East candidate Mr. Wong did the same. I remembered all their faces but these actions would not prompt me to vote for them.
I could not imagine myself waving to 'Air' (better termed it as 'wavng at strangers'. During those peak hours, passengers and passers by are either in a rush to offices or still in a sleeping mode. Effective strategy?
If you don't know them,it would mean
1 Male + 1 Female 揮手; 1 Female揮手; 1 Male揮手...
Will sb interpret it as wanting 順風車? Some of the candidates just wear suits. How can you tell who they are?
p.s.My friend xh told me that 馮兩努 has invented this strategy and it was effective. Thank you so much for the information. :) This history solved the mystery. But on what conditions, this strategy worked? will it still work?
Well, effective STILL ... will see.

FYI, I read an interview about Miss Tanya Chan after she became the district council (?) member for the Peak area. She used this tactic too - waving at cars passing by in the mornings and in the evenings to greet voters to and from work, every single day.
She is the 'Miss Chan' I referred to.
But still...
Is the strategy used in district board election applicable to a legco election scenario?
And now...the candidates could no longer do it every single day at the same location. Were the factors that made the strategy work still present? Or are we only repeating ourselves?
Furthermore, what roles do we expect our legislative councillors to play in the society? Are they just pleasing the voters without making judgements and following the agenda set by the media?
