HONG KONG -- Pro-democracy lawmakers in Hong Kong faced the prospect of having to examine their political path forward after a citywide poll on Tuesday showed that their supporters were divided over calls for a collective boycott in response to the government's move to postpone legislative elections.
After activists called for members of the pro-democracy camp to resign from Hong Kong's Legislative Council rather than remain in an extended term for another year, the camp asked their supporters in a survey to decide whether the lawmakers should remain in the de facto parliament or resign in protest against the delayed elections.
