行政主導 (Executive-led) 同 三權分立 (Separation of Powers) 無矛盾,只係一塊硬幣嘅兩面啫
另外,Basic Law冇明示有三權分立,但有暗示 (Imply): Peter Wesley-Smith, ‘The Hong Kong Constitutional System’ (2005)
節錄呢件案例 Leung Kwok Hung v President of LegCo [2007]:
" 66. The Basic Law enshrines the separation of powers. A reading of the Law makes it evident that the Executive, the administration and the Legislature are each to perform their constitutionally designated roles in a co-ordinated and co-operative manner for the good governance of Hong Kong...
67. Hong Kong has an Executive-led Government. It is the function of the Chief Executive to lead the Government, to decide on Government policies and to approve the introduction of motions regarding revenues or expenditure to the Legislative Council... LegCo does not exercise executive or administrative functions of the kind I have just described... It is instead the function of LegCo to enact, amend or repeal laws, to examine and approve budgets introduced by the Executive authorities and to 'approve' (not create or decide upon) taxation and public expenditure: art.73."
