Abstract

Political parties play a stabilizing role in any regime through articulation and aggregation of the interests of citizens. The article discusses political parties in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), their ideological spectrum, origins and constraints, elite-mass gap and political instability in the HKSAR among other topics. The article points out that political parties that are popularly supported by citizens in the HKSAR have minimal influence on the government. (DÜI-Sen)
