玫瑰,不叫玫瑰也芬芳 余若薇

港大鍾庭耀的3.23全民投票選特首計劃,令我想起莎士比亞名劇《羅密歐與茱麗葉》中茱麗葉說﹕

“What’s in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Remeo would, were he not Romeo call’d,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title.”

(名字算什麼?玫瑰就算不叫玫瑰,一樣芬芳;羅密歐就算不叫羅密歐,一樣完美。)

3月25日特首選舉前兩日,鍾庭耀擔任總監的香港大學民意研究計劃舉辦「3.23民間全民投票計劃」,讓全港市民有機會在民間設立的票站或網上一人一票選特首,投票結果即晚公布,三個目的﹕(1)結合民意調查結果立體展示民意,供市民和選委參考;(2)推動公民參與,建構公民社會;及(3)示範電子投票制度。

左報近日連篇文章批評鍾庭耀搞「特首公投」的動機是「得出一個與選舉結果相反的『民意』結果」,「攻擊所謂小圈子選舉不符合民意」,是「反對派繼2012年發動立法會『五區總辭,變相公投』之後,再次挑戰本港憲制安排的『港獨』行徑。」

鍾庭耀早前在記者會強調,這活動不是「公投」,因為無表決議題,無觸及主權問題。

名字算什麼?就算3.23全民投票不叫「公投」,本質也是公投,彰顯民意。
兩年前「五區公投」,是追求廢除功能組別,盡快實現真普選,與今次3.23全民投票一樣和平、科學,不違憲,與「港獨」風馬牛不相及。

眾所周知,700萬香港人之中,今次只有1200人有份投票選特首,其餘99.9%香港人只能在民意調查或3.23投票中表達個人意見,而且無法律效力,即使如此,仍屬禁忌?當權者反應越大,越想打壓,越突顯這是一場未能理直氣壯、欠缺公信力的小圈子選舉,自暴其短。
