The pro-democracy camp in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) is divided over whether a civil disobedience campaign will take place on July 1 to shut down the city's financial district to make an appeal for electoral reform Air Max 270 Mens Light Bone , amid criticisms and warnings that it may jeopardize the SAR's economy.


While an annual July 1 march in the city has been held since 2003, it is expected that the number of participants this year may be pushed up by an unofficial "referendum" initiated by the Occupy Central movement, which has been condemned as invalid and lacking in a constitutional basis by the authorities. The organizers claimed that so far, more than 700,000 votes were cast, but doubts have been cast on its credibility due to flaws in the online polling system.


Tai Yiu-ting Air Max 270 Womens Flyknit , an associate law professor at the University of Hong Kong and the co-organizer of the Occupy Central movement, told the Global Times Tuesday that after the poll concludes on June 29, a proposal for the selection of Hong Kong's chief executive will be submitted to the SAR government.


He also admitted that there could be some loopholes as the vote is run by a non-government organization. "Repeat votes will be deducted after the whole referendum ends and the number will be smaller," he said.


The poll lets voters choose an electoral method from among three plans, all of which contained public nominations, while the central authorities said the SAR's chief executive should be elected through universal suffrage among candidates that are approved by a nominating committee.


In contrast to Occupy Central's initial plan to shut down the financial district in the summer if their appeal is not dealt with Air Max 270 Mens Flyknit , Tai said the movement will wait until the release of a government proposal on electoral reform, which is due at the end of 2014, to decide whether to go through with the plan.


However, Chow Yong-kang, the convener of another pro-democracy group, the Hong Kong Federation of Students (HKFS) Air Max 270 Womens , told the Global Times that he couldn't rule out the possibility of blocking the financial district on July 1.


Chow said thousands of college students are expected to take to the streets on that day, and may start to occupy the central area depending on the government's attitude toward the referendum.


Tai said he and Chan Kin-man, another organizer of the Occupy Central movement, have been attempting to persuade other groups, including the HKFS, to not launch the occupation on July 1.


But Chow said Tai and his organization will be blamed if they don't follow the students Air Max 270 Mens , should they launch the campaign on July 1.


Differences between the pro-democracy groups also include their positions on electoral reform.


"In fact, we don't really need public nomination and if the government would offer an electoral plan that allows Hongkongers to choose candidates with different political backgrounds, we won't occupy central," Tai said.


However, Chow insisted that public nomination is "a must."
