At this Mall in Sau Gay Wan, Bowtie was there to do his "All Wrong" show. CCTVB news was showing the scene and described scene as "in front of the stage, the crowded supported the policy reforms, but outside the stage, protesters denounced it". (at ~1:48) At no point did the news ever mention anything about paying people to join the support crowd.
Incidentally, did you notice that the overwhelming majority of those seated in front of the stage are old timers?
The act of buying support crowd only used to be this blatant over in Macau...
Do you know this is exactly an example (buying vote) of the potential risks of 絕對民主? What if絕對民主被利用? Can you imagine the potential damage it can cause?

Ging! I find it amazing that scums like you have the guts to denounce this as the flaws of democracy instead of placing the blame where it belongs -- against the very same people that went out to purchase support!
Can you teach me how I can learn to become so 賤, so 狗, and so 無恥 as well?
Buying votes is common in western countries.

Entirely correct. Except politicians in Western countries do it by giving voters the public programs and services they want and fulfilling (some of) their election promises.
And when their attempts to "buy votes" wasn't good enough, they get kicked out of the office and the other party comes in for a shot at the helm.
That's what democracy is all about. Using the carrot of staying in power to lure the political parties to serve the people, and using the stick to kick them out when they fail to do so. But of course someone like you wouldn't understand.
