Do you naively believe 香港政治體制的變動 is solely Hong Kong’s internal matter?

If Vancouver wants to reform its city council structures, why would the provincial or federal governments stick their nose into such municipal matters?
From a policy point of view, the functional constituency is strictly a matter that concerns nobody other than Hong Kong. Of course, everyone knows why Grandfather wants to stick his hands into this because he pretty much controls the will of the functional constituency. And again, that deviates from what "one country, two systems" is supposed to mean.
Funny how you say the entire Basic Law needs to be taken into consideration because if you were to do that, then the Basic Law clearly stated that there will be a gradual progression towards a complete generally elected legislative council, with the understanding that the amount of direct representation (via elected LegCo members) will be increased in phases. At first, that appointed members would be replaced by directly elected members. To proceed further, the next phase is obviously the gradual elimination of functional constituency seats. Otherwise, how else could you achieve a LegCo body that is entirely elected by direct election?
