Basic Law is binding on and benefits all parties in Hong Kong and no 'referendum' can change their rights and responsibilities

News of the number of people who voted in the poll organized by the "Occupy Central" group in Hong Kong quickly reaching over half a million may surprise some observers. But this is entirely understandable in view of the belief, stirred up by the mass and social media, that Hong Kong people's basic rights are under threat and that they need to defend them by voting in the "Occupy Central" poll.
