These are the power of a District Councillor. I have no doubt on Mary Ann. She will do whatever she will do no matter who she is. However, it is naive to think that she can initiate policy changes regarding equal opportunities in the Government just because she is a DC.

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: "it is naive to think that she can initiate policy changes regarding equal opportunities in the Government just because she is a DC"??, So, is it naive to have elected her ? If a DC is not going to voice out and agitate for what she has promised, what is the point she 's being a DC? The above points you have cited are just ordinary rules & obligations a DC should abide himself to, the specific work for each of them is to be assessed from what he/she has promised. That's what called "be accountable & res[ponsible to your constituency". A DC can't initiate proposal regarding her promises meant nothing at all. We as voters, has the right to demand DC to do so and she has the obligations to listen and act on it.

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Ultra virus – 的意思是: 行為唔可以超出被授權的範圍. 妳認為DC依政綱履行所答應選民的, 是Ultra virus? S61 or 任何法規唔會話到比佢知, 佢應否履行的的原因, 和會否履行的後果. 政綱同法律是兩個不同的概念. 知道嗎? 拿Banner替同志爭取一些東西, 如歧視條例等.. 不會超出DC權力規限的, 知無 ? 一些地區議員都會為履行政綱而努力, 如爭取交通改善等.. 無人會以Ultra virus 來作不打算履行的理据. 想過另一個藉口啦, sorry, 呢個唔work!

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: 如果某人政綱所答應選民的﹐是某人無權做的﹐而某人去履行此一政綱﹐就係 ultra virus。例如某人如果想爭取以區議會撥款來設立一個全港性歧視投訴中心﹐就係 ultra virus.。 當然咁唔代表某人唔可以個個星期走去示威要求立法禁止性傾向歧視。但如果你想擺上區議會會議桌上討論﹐人地咪一句話你知唔係你職權範圍既野﹐無得講0羅。咁唔係區議員都可以個個星期去示威啦﹐咁即係係咪區議員係呢件事情上有無分別﹖ 同埋﹐請唔好再話我話甘甘唔會履行佢既選舉承諾﹐英文唔明我中文再講一次﹔我係希望大家唔好對一個區議員可以做到既野抱太大希望﹐因為區議會由頭到尾都只係 serve 一個 window dressing 既 function﹐但我相信甘甘仍會儘力為所有弱勢社群爭取利益﹐正如佢一直以黎所做既一樣。

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Don't take me wrong. I am not saying Mary Ann is not going to do what she has promised because she has in fact been doing all those things all these years. and i am very glad you cast your vote and made a very good decision. if i were in her constituency, i would no doubt make the same choice. what i am trying to say is that the fact that she is now a DC does not make her god. it is not fair to her to expect her to be god. as a DC, she can only do what is within her power and she understands that very well (you can tell from the wording they use in their platform). however, i am sure she will do the best she can utilising those power, no matter how limited they are.
