中新网评:美国众议长选举“连续剧”暴露美式民主痼疾******

  中新网北京1月9日电(蒋鲤)在15轮投票表决后,美国众议院议长选举这场“连续剧”终于落下帷幕,众议院共和党领袖凯文·麦卡锡最终成功当选第55任美国众议院议长。这是美国国会过去164年来耗时最久的一次议长选举记录,将美国“对抗式民主”的弊端暴露无遗。

  由于两党对立加剧、党派内斗、利益分配不均等因素,众议长选举陷入一场拉锯战。在此次众议长竞选中,美国民主党议员继续抱团,多轮投票中,一票不投麦卡锡,共和党右翼“强硬派”领头的约20人小团体也拒绝投票麦卡锡。

  麦卡锡的当选之路一波三折,除了本人的“政治投机派”角色在国会不受欢迎外,与共和党内部政治分歧关系密切。

  一方面,共和党党内反对者认为,麦卡锡对民主党态度过于软弱,无力对抗民主党控制的参议院和拜登政府,另一方面,因为共和党的多数优势微弱,党内一些影响力较小的派系的政治力量则被放大,有利于他们巩固自己的选票。

  此外,党内反对者也认为,自己的选票没有换取更多利益,希望以此作为筹码换取麦卡锡更大的让步,比如让他们获得众议院重要委员会中的职务。

  作为仅次于美国总统、副总统的政坛三号人物,众议院议长通常由众议院多数党领袖担任,选举几乎没有悬念。然而,麦卡锡此次为当选,不得不做出多个关键让步,其中可能包括恢复一项罢黜议长动议机制,使得众议长的权力被削弱,难以掌控众议院。

  美国有线电视新闻网CNN称,麦卡锡在这场不合时宜的政治勒索中作出让步,这种绥靖政策只会让极端主义势力更加强大。

  这场引发全世界围观的尴尬选举暴露出美国政治存在严重的对立和分化。在权力博弈思维的裹挟下,党派利益凌驾于国家和人民利益之上,美国两党相互拆台,陷入“为反对而反对”的无脑对垒。而即便是一党内,也会因为利益分配问题产生不同的小派系,相互对抗,选票变成了谋利益的工具。

  从国会山骚乱到打破记历史记录的15轮众议长选举,“对抗式民主”让美国政治陷入瓶颈,长期对抗势必会让政客们丧失客观公正的判断能力,其政治阶层是否有能力治理国家也会引发质疑。

  两党之争和党派内斗进一步放大了美国政治体制弊病,美国所谓的“民主”形象,让全世界大跌眼镜。鼓吹以选民利益为先的美式选举,变成了政客们利益置换的游戏,进一步彰显出美国“民主政治”日渐失能,不断极化的党争已使美国政治制度陷入死循环。

  House speaker election reveals deep-rooted problems in U.S. democracy

  (ECNS) -- The Republican leader Kevin McCarthy was elected as the 55th speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives after 15 ballots. As the most grueling House speaker election in the past 164 years, the election has highlighted the defects of the country’s "confrontational democracy".

  The election once reached a stalemate due to intense partisan strife, inner-party struggle among the Republicans, uneven distribution of interests, and more. Democratic Party members forged a close alliance, refusing to vote for McCarthy, while about 20 Republicans also declined to cast ballots for the GOP leader.

  Except for his unpopular role as a "political speculator" in Congress, McCarthy’s hard-won election can be attributed to turmoil within the Republican Party.

  On the one hand, opponents in the Republican Party believe that the GOP leader's attitude toward the Democrats is too weak to confront the Senate controlled by Democrats and the Biden administration.

  On the other hand, the political power of some less influential factions in the Republican Party has been amplified due to the Party’s weak majority advantage in the House of Representatives, which is conducive to consolidating their ticket warehouses.

  Meanwhile, these opponents believe that their votes failed to win them more benefits, hoping to use this as a bargaining chip for McCarthy's further concessions, such as getting them positions in important House Committees.

  As the third political figure after the President and Vice President of the U.S., the speaker, by tradition, is the head of the majority party in the House of Representatives.

  But McCarthy has made many concessions in order to bring the ultra conservatives along, involving what’s known as the “motion to vacate,” a mechanism by which members can force a vote to depose the speaker. The reported concessions will empower individual members at the expense of McCarthy’s sway as speaker.

  CNN thought the concessions he made during this unseemly political shakedown would only make the extremist faction more powerful.

  This embarrassing election, which has drawn global attention, exposed the serious opposition and polarization in American politics. Both Democrats and Republicans put their interests before that of the country and its people, attacking and opposing each other irrationally.

  Besides, different factions arise within a single party and confront each other because of the distribution of interests. Votes have become a tool to win more benefits.

  From Capitol riots to the House Speaker election with record-breaking ballots, "confrontational democracy" has become a bottleneck of American politics. Long-term confrontation will surely impede politicians to think objectively and fairly while their capacity of governing the country will also raise doubts among the public.

  Both parties’ struggle and infighting among the Republicans have further amplified the defects of the American political system, with its "democratic" image shocking the world.

  The U.S.-style election, which advocates putting voters' interests first, has become a game of interest exchange among politicians. In addition, it further demonstrates the malfunction of American "democratic politics" and the constantly polarized party struggle that has trapped the American political system into an infinite cycle.

安徽省政协香港地区委员吴志斌:科创是深化皖港合作新突破口******

  中新网合肥1月14日电 (记者 张强 吴兰 张俊)“目前,安徽省正融入长三角一体化发展的新车道,努力成为国家科技体制改革的‘试验田’,在此历史发展的契机下,要深化皖港两地的经济文化互动合作,科创必然是一个新的突破口和增长点,更是开创皖港合作的新面向。”安徽省政协香港地区委员、安徽省侨联副主席、香港安徽联谊会总会常务副会长吴志斌14日在接受中新网记者专访时如是说。

  当日,安徽省“两会”继续在合肥市举行。作为“老委员”,吴志斌坦言,五年的委员任期,让他从对安徽感到陌生变得熟悉与亲切,从一位对安徽的旁观者、欣赏者变成了安徽发展的参与者、见证者,从最初的荣誉感变成了一种自觉的、沉甸甸的责任感。

  过去五年,作为安徽省政协委员,吴志斌共参加了皖港活动逾百场。三年的疫情,让港澳委员来皖履职增加了很多困难,但吴志斌2021年至2022年之间仍克服困难,每年都二次返皖履职交流。

  履职期间,吴志斌积极参与安徽省脱贫攻坚,设立的“吴国修端仁教育基金”五年来资助了二百多名贫困中学生升读大学,扶贫助学与扶贫消费总额逾百万元。

  同时,吴志斌还深入安徽九个地市,推动各地市在港成立地市级“同乡联谊会”,2022年底“香港合肥同乡联谊会”正式成立并运作。“我觉得变的是环境,不变的是履职的初心、心中的责任,有信念,办法总比困难多。”

  如今,参政履职的工作让吴志斌成为一名“新安徽人”,不仅自己在安徽置业,更动员香港中文大学毕业的女儿到安徽创业。

  在今年安徽省“两会”上,吴志斌根据安徽发展动态,重点关注皖港科创交流合作,并积极建言献策。

  吴志斌说,皖港科创合作有基础有政策。安徽省区域创新能力为全国第7位,并连续11年位居全国第一方阵。作为综合性国家科学中心的合肥和立志建立“国际创新科技中心”的香港,具有高度的战略重叠性。皖港两地从技术发展的资源储备、创新政策的支持力度以及人才吸引到企业落户等方面,都有相同的策略性谋划和施政目标。

  为实现皖港两地在科技创新的多、深、广的合作交流,吴志斌建议,安徽应建立省级科创统筹领导小组,制定专门与港交流、协作的相关机制,弥补皖港长久以来的互动欠缺,针对性设立皖港科创基金,实现和培育有深度、有专题、精细化的科创交流活动。支持鼓励两地共建优势学科、实验室和研究中心。

  同时,应发挥省级国有公司、在港窗口公司(香港黄山公司)、民营在港企业的主体性作用,深入洞察两地合作的“契合点”,尤其是在发挥合肥综合性国家科学中心优势方面,着重结合香港特区政府对生物科技、人工智能、智慧城市等方面的政策支持,引进相关企业项目,完善两地科创生态圈。

  此外,要实现人才和项目的互动互联,其中在港安徽政协委员在发挥履职双重作用的同时,更要进一步起到“双面黏合”的作用。自改革开放以来,皖籍海归和港漂科创、金融人才落户香港,成了香港科技进步和创新的新生力量。安徽省需调动且发挥这一批人才的积极性,创立多领域、多面向的人才交流合作项目,定期举办人才项目峰会和考察活动,以国家级科创项目计划为主导,联合两地高精尖人才团队,以实现人才、资源和项目的互认、互动、互赢。(完)
