徐遠華參選立法會:經驗之旅  LegCo Election: Journey of Mission Impossible?

我參選立法會了!(競選網站:http://www.ahkam.hk )


考慮參選與否的那幾天,我把自己寫的一年多的網誌全部看了一遍,這篇"區議員的視野與質素 Vision and quality Needed"以及韋伯的"以政治為志業"的演講,使我鼓起勇氣,下了參選決心。我曾在裡面這樣寫:


我擔心並一直警惕自己:不能成為這樣的區議員(街坊保長)。我應時刻把握機會擴闊視野,不能讓自己的視野局限於一個小小的選區,而應自我提升,使自己的能力不僅只懂得處理瑣事,否則就算日後有機會,我也根本不能更上一層樓。(http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/article?mid=1747)


下這個決定後,我仍感到很不自信,常常反問自己:這是個適合的決定嗎?我可以為民主黨的團隊貢獻什麼? 當時不便於公開參選,於是我很隱晦地寫了"不要怕 Don't be afraid",以鼓勵自己。乃至這一篇寫希臘悲劇的blog(http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/article?mid=3160),也是寫來鼓勵自己的:裡面的主題是責任感。劉小楓對梁錦松的批評:當經濟人成了立法者 A Critique: Economic Man as Legislator ,這篇也隱約和參選立法會有關,各位有沒有留意呢?


這次我排在甘乃威和楊森後的第三位,完全沒有勝出機會:對我而言,這是一次旨在讓我累積經驗的選舉,我相信我在選舉中吸取的經驗,一定有助於我更好地服務黃竹坑,服務南區;長遠而言對我的從政之路也有百利而無一害。


對民主黨而言有短期和長期的目的:短期而言自然是希望透過我的參選,讓市民知道民主黨有很多像我這樣的年輕人像前輩一樣堅持不懈的爭取民主,追求公義;長期而言,是使我們這批年輕人更早的磨練自己,裝備自己,以應付未來更艱巨的立法會乃至特首選舉。


我謹特別向常常來看我這個網誌的朋友呼籲:如果你認為我還做得不錯,請你支持我的參選,投我一票。


路漫漫其修遠兮,吾將上下而求索!


I've joined the LegCo election! (See the platform at http://www.ahkam.hk )


It's a journey of getting experience. I read all my writing in this blog, this article reminds me of not let this chance go away: "區議員的視野與質素 Vision and quality Needed", and Max Weber's lecture, named "Politics as Vocatoin" pushes me to ahead. I wrote this on my previous blog:


The present system of the district council is not helping to boost political talents, it's especially so after the urban council and sub-urban council were cancelled. And I keep it in mind that I need to enhance my ability and widen my vision to be a qualified district councillor who is competent for position that bears heavier responsibility and needs greater ability.(http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/article?mid=1747)


It's a journey of mission impossible too: I was placed on the third place, after Kam Nai Wai and Dr Yueng Sum, in my party's ticket, I have no chance to win. To be frank, even after the decision was made, I still keep asking myself this question (which a question I learned from Margaret Ng's book): Am I good for the cause?


Because of this, I wrote a story to encourage myself that I must not be afraid:"不要怕 Don't be afraid"and this one is on classical tragedy (http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/article?mid=3160) aims to remind me that sense of duty to my party.


I belive if I want to achieve a greater goal, now it's a good chance for me to get experience to equip myself to be capable for a position with great responsibility.
