西九

西九支出龐大,但收入 ...

沒有地產項目(當年被迫取消了) ...

所謂本土文化的收入又有幾多? ...

所謂本土文化又如何長期吸引外來遊客或藝術發燒友來欣賞呢? ...

香港人何時才清醒呢?

一地兩檢

一地兩檢是個複雜的問題,由於在香港特區境內進行,但換個角度,只要有關安檢地區被劃為非香港特區,問題便會消失。當然,這牽涉到政治互信這個問題了。

doctrine of necessity

Seriously, can the doctrine of necessity be applied in LegCo to resolve the impasse arising from filibustering?

"The Doctrine of Necessity is the basis on which extra-legal actions by state actors, which are designed to restore order, are found to be constitutional. The maxim on which the doctrine is based originated in the writings of the medieval jurist Henry de Bracton, and similar justifications for this kind of extra-legal action have been advanced by more recent legal authorities, including William Blackstone.

In modern times, the doctrine was first used in a controversial 1954 judgment in which Pakistani Chief Justice Muhammad Munir validated the extra-constitutional use of emergency powers by Governor General, Ghulam Mohammad.[1] In his judgment, the Chief Justice cited Bracton's maxim, 'that which is otherwise not lawful is made lawful by necessity', thereby providing the label that would come to be attached to the judgment and the doctrine that it was establishing.

The Doctrine of Necessity has since been applied in a number of Commonwealth countries, and in 2010 was invoked to justify extra-legal actions in Nigeria."
