Voting

Election day in the Philippines today, with a race between a high school drop-out movie actor versus the Ivy League educated economist. Hong Kong's (as well as Singapore's) large Filipino voting contingent (130,000 registered) are an important part of the system, having been enfranchised last year. Which is ironic given no-one else in Hong Kong has been enfranchised recently. These are the same people that suffer constant racism in Hong Kong. Make that a double irony, then.

Hmm, so the choice is between Ginger and "The Professor" --- any chance of writing in Mary Ann?

By the way, who are the Howells voting for?
