What was that all about?

What is the reason for them to resign?
If they resigned, why they can still be nominated again for the by-election?
Or should they find somebody instead to run their seats?
Once you are out, then you are out, right?

Success or not  at least we show it to China we want a fair election. Not a system that some minority have two votes instead of one.

Adding to what Beaver has said, the resignation/by-election is really meant to be a referendum in disguise (變相公投). The thing is, HK doesn't have any referendum legislation, so there is no means for HK citizens to really voice their opinions on critically important matters. Through the 5-region simultaneous resignation, LSD and the Civic Party (and hopefully the Democratic Party as well) can brand the re-election process as a form of referendum. If you support the call for a generally elected HKSAR CEO and a fully elected Legislative Council body, you vote for the pan-democrat candidate to reinstate him back into office. If you'd rather give up the right to vote for your own HKSAR CEO and continue to have the undemocratic functional constituencies in LegCo looking out for their own benefits instead of looking out for the general public's interest, vote against the pan-democrats or abstain from the vote.

The choice is clear -- why is this so difficult to understand?!

Whatever the outcome is, why would/should Beijing listen to you?

It is too risky,
you can't afford to loose even one seat.
You can't under estimate the pro China strength to upset you.

question:  why just 五區? is it because the pan-democrats are currently controlling just 五區 - 23 seats?
