dbo:abstract
  • The Reform Club of Hong Kong was one of the oldest political organisations in Hong Kong, existing from 1949 until the mid-1990s. Established by expatriates who were concerned about the Young Plan proposed by Governor Mark Aitchison Young in 1949, the Reform Club was the first semi-political party to contest in the Urban Council elections, with its longtime chairman Brook Bernacchi serving on the Council for about forty years. It demanded expansion of the power of the Urban Council and elected representatives in the Legislative Council for years. Together with the Hong Kong Civic Association, they were the closest to opposition parties in Hong Kong active in the municipal electoral politics during the post-war colonial period. With the expansion of the franchise in the 1980s, the Reform Club gradually declined and was replaced by the more energetic political groups. The Club ceased to function after its chairman Bernacchi retired from the Urban Council in 1995. (en)
  • 香港革新會(英語:The Reform Club of Hong Kong)是香港早期的政治團體,於1949年創立,貝納祺、馬文輝及簡悅強均為創黨成員。革新會的會員曾經是市政局及早期區議會選舉的主要成員。革新會經常被當時的殖民地政府標籤為「反對派」。 革新會的成員主要集中在港島東區,由於成立時期比較早,所以普遍被歸入保守派,而其立場亦得到北京當局接受。1982年首次區議會選舉時,到處到可以看到革新會會員那紅底白字的醒目圍板廣告,而各會員亦順利取得各個議會不少議席。及後隨着以香港華人的政黨興起,革新會漸漸退出香港的政壇,當中有不少華人成員(如)亦離開革新會而加入港進聯。 值得一提的,如貝納祺、等,俱為歐裔人士,而非華人,另外羅友聖一直都擔任香港東區區議員,直到2007年在區選中敗於新晉的趙家賢。 (zh)
