Electoral system
The elections were held in accordance with the 1928 constitution, which established the Legislative Council, reducing the proportion of elected members and increasing the number of members appointed by the government.[1] The 30-member Legislative Council consisted of the Governor, two ex-officio members, eight official members, five unofficial members and 14 members elected in single-member constituencies.[2]

gollark: You haven't really described any. And ignored me asking how I could conveniently test this personally as you claimed/implied.
gollark: "Some phenomeon exists" != "some phenomenon exists in whatever context you're on about"
gollark: Some sort of convoluted new model of the universe based on electricity or something does *not* do that.
gollark: Are you aware of the "correspondence principle"? It basically just means that your new theory has to match with all the previously found empirical evidence for other theories.
