文中部分段落：

Those political masters in Beijing, who had denounced the by-election as a "blatant challenge" to the central government's authority, must be lighting cigars and breaking out the cognac after watching this ill-conceived scheme backfire on the politically naive lawmakers who hatched it. In the end, the needless exercise cost taxpayers HK$150 million (US$19.3 million) to stage, split the democratic camp and proved nothing beyond the brazen ineptitude of the parties involved.

Indeed, it was a sad day for democracy in Hong Kong. This was democracy at its dumbest, and thus played right into the hands of the central and Hong Kong governments, whose wholly inadequate proposals for democratic reform prompted the harebrained "uprising".
