a probe aging labor federation blamed kerry lamb for their groups losses in the election that sounds like she is deeply discredited on both sides both views of the hong kong citizens but also these of the beijing itself so what would you expect to be her fate going forward i think her fate to be going forward will be it will be a very difficult situation for her because you ve already framed very good she s in a position where she doesn t get support from any parties. not from the pro-democracy side not from the press that the from camp and not from beijing as well of course beijing says they will support her but she has to listen to carrie lee has to listen to beijing and that s making her very difficult to stay and heroically so question to you glacier are there credible alternatives to kerry lab bearing in mind that her term as as far as i know only goes until 2022 is that
