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 e$ k- O3 s7 W/ n, ctvb now,tvbnow,bttvb: D) l# K. q# k" A, o) i" u( J [
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。 |8 C. Z, p.

標榜有為進取的政府落得如斯境地，不禁讓我想起了《道德經》的十七章來。按林語堂先生的解讀，這一章的主題是給執權統治者來個評級，老子定下的級別是這樣的：公仔箱論壇9 d4 P% Q+ b0 s2 G. r

「其次，親而譽之。」次一等的 B級統治者，是像張默生先生所言，「加恩德於民」，為人民愛戴嘉譽，有點兒像打着龍獅旗的港英政府——香港人暱稱英女皇為「契媽」；過渡夜，維港兩岸汽車響號揮別查理士王子及老友記般的末代港督肥彭。到了今天，龍獅旗比殖民地年代更為普遍，香港人對港英的感情如何，也不用說了。 \& v9 ]( @& Z5 {* M h0 H$ Z: _tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb5.39.217.764 b7 q& w$ q7 {

這 ABCD的四級分類，頂級的只能往神話故事裡去尋了。一旦伊利沙伯二世百年歸老，恐怕 B級的政府亦將成為歷史陳跡。三權制衡，在資訊時代執權者儘管還是會作惡，要人們真的害怕畏懼嗎，有難度。故此當今之世，人民大都視執權者為「不可少之惡」（a necessary evil）；妥協共存，當然說不上「親而譽之」了。至於不及格的 D級政府嗎，那是「特殊材料」打造出來的。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。" d |2 g" L; G- [ k, D: R8 B

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. 1 ]2 g6 d8 T- H, itvb now,tvbnow,bttvb 6 m!
