It was not an election at all. Most of those on the "election committee" that chose Leung Chun-ying, were not really free to exercise any sort of choice. Of the 1,193 committee members who voted (out of Hong Kong's population of over 7m), many did so under orders from Beijing. Under China's agreement with Britain, Hong Kong was to enjoy its own system of government for 50 years after China resumed the exercise of sovereignty in 1997. But China, like Britain, has denied Hong Kong democracy. A Byzantine process, in which most members of the election committee are chosen by sectoral interests ("functional constituencies"), ensures that the committee has a majority ready to toe the line.
