We have no fucking idea how they voted.

In a swamp that blue, no telling who actually won an election, just be sure that the folks counting the votes got the result that they wanted.

All of Hong Kong's pro-democracy lawmakers have announced their resignation after Beijing forced the removal of four of their colleagues.

On Wednesday Beijing passed a resolution allowing the city's government to dismiss politicians deemed a threat to national security.

The opposition lawmakers then said they would leave in solidarity.

For the first time since Hong Kong was handed back to China in 1997 the body has almost no dissenting voices.

BBC China correspondent Stephen McDonnell says the legislature was already stacked in favour of the pro-Beijing camp.

The dismissal of the four legislators is viewed by many as the latest attempt by China to restrict Hong Kong's freedoms - something Beijing denies.

Democratic Party chairman Wu Chi-wai told reporters following the lawmakers' removal: "We can no longer tell the world that we still have 'one country, two systems', this declares its official death."

The city's pro-democracy legislators had 19 seats in the 70-seat legislature. All those members have now left - either by resigning or by being dismissed.

The new resolution passed by China's National People's Congress Standing Committee on Wednesday says that lawmakers should be disqualified if they support Hong Kong independence, refuse to acknowledge China's sovereignty, ask foreign forces to interfere in the city's affairs or in other ways threaten national security.

And if you really just store it as a 3 digit decimal, later smaller districts do not contribute equally to the count.
