Established in 1954, the Civic Association is one of the oldest existing political organisations in Hong Kong. Together with the Reform Club of Hong Kong, they were the two dominant groups in the Urban Council elections before the 1980s. ==Beliefs== Members mostly consisting of teachers and some professionals and businessmen, the Civic Association was seen as a predominantly Chinese, centrist and conservative political group compared to the Reform Club of Hong Kong, its counterpart in the Urban Council before the 1980s. At its foundation, the objectives of the associations were: * to actively promote the economic, social and cultural welfare of the people of Hong Kong; a sound and expanding programme of education in Hong Kong; close co-operation and understanding between government and the public; * to do whatever is possible to protect the rights of women and children in Hong Kong; * to encourage great interest and participation in public affairs; * to study the machinery of government in Hong Kong and to increase the effectiveness and prestige of government through constructive suggestion; * to advocate an increase in the size and scope of the political franchise in the colony; * to participate in local politics for promotion and achievement of the objects of the association; * to study and act on any other matter of interest the association; and * to raise and disburse any funds for any of the above objections. The Civic Association claimed to promote "stability, prosperity and progress" in its electoral slogan. It focused more on social and livelihood issues such as cost of living the adequacy of hospitals and rentals. The association also drew attention to constitutional issues, demanding greater power of the Urban Council in education and health matters, and also elected representatives in the Legislative Council and Executive Council. However the association refrained from calling for self-government and independence, a political stance it regarded as the major demarcation between the association and the radical groups, such as the United Nations Association of Hong Kong. it argued that any "radical change" would threaten Hong Kong's stability.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hong Kong Civic Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
