Civic Party of Hong Kong 公民黨 was formed on March 19th, 2006. Asiaweek (Chinese) YZZK carried a comprehensive news report on the formation of this new party. The Civic Party aspired to be the ruling party in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
The EXCO lineup of Civic Party is quite impressive. It comprises 1 Professor, 4 lawyers and NGO leaders. They have 4 representatives in the HK Legislative Council.
In our home ground, the Democratic Action Penang (DAP) has launched a "Go Big" campaign. The DAP Penang has expressed the desires to play a pivotal role in the next General Election in year 2008.
In fact, DAP Penang is more advance in the lineup. There are 5 legislative members, 4 lawyers, one accountant, engineers, chief editor of the Rocket, succesful businessmen, former trade unionist, former staff of Air Force, representative of major races in Malayisa, former student activists etc.

I am more for DAP to gain more political power through winning more seats in the Penang Legislative Assembly and elsewhere. 'Go big' is not a policy and not a good slogan either, I think. DAP must think of a more winnable slogan. Nevertheless,I will vote for DAP for a more vibrant Malaysian political environment.
Thanks for the feedback. "Go big" is a internal codename. We welcome any suggestion on the slogan.
Thank you. You are right. We have to keep our ears near the ground.
