Hedgehog for democracy


Hedgehog went voting last Sunday (Sept 7). We walked all the way done to the polling station in our area. He voted for his favorite democratic candidate. Actually it was not that difficult for him to choose a candidate because he would like someone who actually cares about people who don't speak Cantonese. It was quite amazing that many candidates never consider the voter who don't speak Cantonese. Everything was in Chinese. Hedgehog found it a bit offensive that in a bilingual society, English is still the official language, political candidates treated non-Chinese reading/speaking voters as invisible.
