高靜芝進駐中央政策組、主責人事任命，引發第二個權力核心的「猜想」，弔詭也。此舉若然果如「猜想」所指，乃在各個法定組織、諮詢委員會以至政策局安插數達三千個梁粉，要麼那便是高估了梁粉的數目，再不然便是高估了梁粉的本事。 # x4 Z!

君不見陷入國教困局的林鄭月娥不又愴然淚下：「如果我都離棄梁振英政府，如果我都跳船，那麼我是對不起香港市民。」即使梁振英果有建立第二個權力核心之意，亦得有料之人充實核心方能有效行使權力吧？否則空殼一個則徒令人眼寃而已。 3 P% c ] k& p6 \5 J, MTVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。' v0 [* F7 r, A' a' O- B
這般說法的大前提，是梁振英確有誠意延攬達人良才幹一番實事。然而觀乎為他賣命的邵善波、陳茂波、吳克儉……以至羅范椒芬，他又哪裡像是古人說的選賢與能？當然，人才欠奉，也不表示他便沒有在現存架構之外，建立第二個權力核心之意。事實上他極有這個需要。 & g. i( f) Z: M; Q7 P1 h. [tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb3 h3 [( `9 ]6 \ {6 o; x9 b
林鄭月娥說過了，梁振英的誠信備受質疑。即位當天便好幾十萬人上街要他下台，以這樣的民望，未來五年，漫漫長路，總不成像邵善波所言，一直捱打吧。職是之故，不管是為了保住現今的寶座，或是在一七年尋求連任，他都有需要用一切辦法——包括建立第二個權力核心——提升民望。 7 s r2 h9 L5 q" L* |公仔箱論壇tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb: Q" w6 G7 @& d. \; ?$ n
要而言之，提升民望，兩道板斧而已：要麼便派糖，要麼便做出政績，讓七百萬人的生活一天天好起來。庫房裡有的是公帑，大有條件派糖，不這樣做才怪呢。事實上他一上任什麼長者交通優惠、長者特惠金、長者電梯……不便紛紛出籠了嗎？ 1 f. V# w/ ~0 T' i" d. ZTVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。公仔箱論壇% S6 G/ S9 A# H5 ?2 ?: O+ z" c" h 一直捱打TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。: K$ r8 r+ h5 V

政績可是另一回事了。要做出惠及社會上每一個階層、令人人都感受到好處的政策，要克服的困難，說多大有多大。即以抑壓樓價而言，不要以為樓價下跌便人人歡笑了。起碼那一百二十多萬業主便不見得會高興了。辣招頻出，物業交投淡靜，那四萬名地產經紀又會高興麼？tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb1 K. A. Y' P+ f

Looking at moves such as those to support the less well off, it is not clear if this is a portent of more social expenditure going forward, or if there is going to be some universal integration of benefits so that those people who are not able to gain access to public housing, for example, are not substantially dis-advantaged.4 l5 F- s/ k. h) [

Similarly,we have seen an Administration that has been harping on about Mainland integration while, at the same time, having to heed the cries of the local populace and starts putting in administrative measures to halt the one-way torrent of people coming across the border. 2 g8 H! r5 l8 j! c. \7 GTVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。 $ a# x/ Q!

First off, it does not, as a Government spokesman stated at the time, give a preference to those that are committed to Hong Kong. It merely gives a benefit to those that have the right of abode here. - U. c; a S8 o+ n- }5.39.217.769 `; U- D/ M( K6 k! S2 p
For instance, my two grown up children benefit from their residency status for all sorts of things, including avoiding the latest stamp duty measures, though they only irregularly return from overseas where they are students. $ F8 U1 I! J5 }, I, i% C; n5.39.217.765.39.217.763 [* h1 W. j5 n
They qualify for HOS and PRH public housing units because, as students, they still have no income; they can come back for free health care and later in life retire here and get the public to pick up the bill. And, of course,non-resident holders of the right of abode can sit across the border and use our educational and other services every day- for free.1 |/ u% A1 P% {8 a E

This nonsensical stamp duty discrimination highlights just how wrong the Government is when it adjudges the right of abode to be the basis for receiving free public sector goods and services, irrespective of the ordinary residency of the people claiming the benefit.5.39.217.763 F" Y7 n; f.

8 l4 E: {' Q# n% jSecondly,and more importantly, what the random stamp duty initiative undoubtedly does do is send a message to all around the world that policy in Hong Kong in relation to assets, their price levels and investment overall will in future be subject to ad hoc Government measures, as and when they see fit.
