Anson Chan has announced that she will compete with Regina Ip on legislator's seat. The pan-dem tried to turn it into a battle for 2012 universal suffrage. Erynnyes wonders if Anson could really represent Pan-democratic force, as her image is more attached with former government official than a democratic fighter. The blogger still feels that Anson will win, but the above factor might affect the number of votes she will get (zh).

Hi Oiwan, it’s great you’re posting this. However I think that most of our readers who don’t live in Hong Kong probably have no idea who Anson Chan or Regina Ip are. Can you give us a one-sentence explanation? Or link their names to some web pages about them? Thanks!!!
