*governance *leadership *know best *public opinion *excerpts: 尤其当你批评政策,他们立刻提防,有的当面告诉你:“我们制定政策的过程这么复杂,考虑的范围那么多,计算的方法那么专业,你们一般老百姓知道些什么?”另一些则说:“你提出的这些抗议和理由,都不是新点,我们之前已考虑周详,没必要再谈。”*excerpts: 当局目前制定政策时,也许尺度是70-30,认为只要有70%受益,另外30%吃亏也没关系。但也许,人民能接受的只是80-20,尽管自己不属于吃亏的那30%,但难免认识属于这群体的某人或是想象自己已处在边缘,担心遭殃,因此奋起抗议。
