Members are considered as the Young Turks faction and reformists in the Democratic Party, and mostly from the New Territories East constituency. They support a more radically pro-democratic position than that of the Democratic Party. The group describes itself as a 'social movement' and 'not a political party'. However it fielded candidates in the 2011 district council elections, when it cooperated with other parties in the democratic camp to avoid having more than one pan-democrat in each contest. In the 2012 Legco elections the group won one seat, in New Territories East for one of its leaders, a sitting Legislative Councillor, Gary Fan.〔(Democrats lick wounds as 30 reform radicals quit ), The Standard, Colleen Lee, 20 December 2010〕 ==Formation== The Neo Democrats identified themselves initially as a grouping within the Democratic Party, opposed to its rejection of the Five Constituencies Referendum and concessions towards Beijing that the party was offering in the run-up to the Legco vote on the Hong Kong government's proposals for democratic reform. It said it aimed to repair the damaged relationship between the Democratic Party and its pan-democratic allies.〔(Press review by Swiss Consulate General ), Oct 2010, accessed 24 January 2011〕 As the Neo Democrats styled themselves a continuation of the United Democrats of Hong Kong, they chose to found the group on an anniversary of both the dissolution of UDHK and the foundation of the Democratic Party. Then on 19 December 2010, thirty members including seven district councillors in the New Territories East resigned from the Democratic Party to formally create the new group. The departees included former party vice-chairman Chan King-ming and at least five other founding members, together representing around ten percent of the DP's district councillors and just under five percent of its membership.〔 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「Neo Democrats」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
