Who would you vote for? (If you were a PR and the type that would actually carry out their civic duties...)
Election Coverage on Wiki Regina Ip on Wiki
Anson Chan on Wiki
Anson Chan (in my opinion) was probably the last person in the Civil service who came of as having integrity and someone who might stand up for their principles.
Regina Ip is best remembered for her Article 23 fiasco and the Hitler quote.

"Hitler came to power by democratic election, and he killed seven million Jews. One-person, one-vote is no panacea." -- Regina Ip, defending the lack of democracy in China, 28/10/02

"I agree that it would have been better if I hadn't mentioned Hitler. Hitler is a highly emotional and controversial subject. And of course, lawyers and historians can always say I've got some details wrong. But my underlying argument is as valid as ever: Democracy is no panacea. The performance of democracies vary from country to country." -- Regina Ip, on her earlier statement blaming Hitler's rise on democracy, 21/11/02
