Having kept his head low after the abortive Occupy Central movement in late 2014, University of Hong Kong law professor Benny Tai Yiu-ting, one of the three co-founders, is back in the political limelight with a bold plan, if not an impossible dream. He is appealing to the pan-democratic camp and their like-minded voters to act in unison in the 2016 Legislative Council election with one target: grabbing 35 seats.
\nCalling it \u201cThunderquake Plan\u201d (\u96f7\u52d5\u8a08\u5283), Tai has called on factions from the non-establishment camp to join hands and pro-democratic voters to cast their vote in accordance with a grand strategy in the upcoming election. By doing so, he is confident that the pan-democratic force might be able to win half of the seats in the next legislature.
