just fancy that!

South China Morning Post, November 19th:

District council polls attract record vote: A record 1.149 million people voted yesterday in the city's most competitive district council polls ever, with a turnout exceeding 38 per cent.

The Standard, November 19th:

Polls apart: The presence of Hong Kong's leading political figures and a number of key clashes in several constituencies failed to excite voters, with just over 38 percent of the electorate turning up for yesterday's district council elections.

Polemic?
