Inside, Hong Kong Chief Executive, Donald Tsang Yam-kuen, and Audrey Eu Yuet-mee, Leader of the Civil Party, crossed swords in a landmark televised debate. A poll taken afterwards suggesting the contest had hardened public opposition to the government's political reform proposals. In an instant University of Hong Kong poll of about 500 people who watched the debate, 45 percent said they were now "more opposed" to the government's reform proposals, while 20 per cent said the debate had made them "more supportive". When asked who they considered had given the best performance, 71 per cent opted for Eu and 15 per cent picked Tsang. Fifty-two per cent said they opposed the proposed electoral arrangements to pick the chief executive in 2012, and 48 per cent opposed arrangements for Legco.
