For days, Villagers have been puzzling over the popularity of CY Leung. While seeing a flood of "fuck no!!!" and "End of Hong Kong!" on one's Facebook wall and Twitter feed after Leung claimed the mayorship on Sunday, we're however told that our new mayor is the most popular among the three candidates at around 30 something percent approval rating. HKU's pollster Robert Chung carried out a civil referendum before the Election Committee Election of the Mayor
Libertines Pub came up with a method to measure the approval rating of our new mayor which is scientific but dead simple:
689 / 7,103,700
= 0.000096991
= 0.0096991%
So our new mayor's approval rating is 0.0096991%. End of the story. Hail our new mayor!
