The Civic Party is launching a drive aimed at diluting political privilege and paving the way to abolish functional constituencies. The government will bring legislation detailing its political package by the autumn. After meeting with Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs, Stephen Lam, party leader and lawmaker Audrey Eu said they've begun urging civil society groups to push for greater representation, the merger of existing functional constituencies, and the right of all eligible voters to stand for the five new Legislative Council seats representing the District Councils.
