我們都知道民主是個好東西,但是大家有想過民主是怎麽發展來的嗎? 民主不光是一個概念,也不僅僅是管理國家的一種形式,那更是一種傳統,一種社會價值觀和一種行為模式。回頭看西方人的民主,其實也飽含艱辛乃至血淚,同時民主也需要不斷曆練和提升.
值得注意的是東西方的發展之路是不同的.在談論民主時,我們不能拋開經濟才是根本.當一個國家的人民飯都吃不飽時,民主相比之下也就不那麽重要了.再者,民主之所以被許多人所推崇,其實背後有著重要的經濟動因和經濟支撐.
再有一點,我們也不能因為中國實行的是共產黨領導下的多黨合作就說她不民主,民生和民權才是民主的根本.
謝謝留言。
其實這正是我要說的,台灣的民主不盡人意之處,不是民主本身的問題,而是參與者和參與組織本身素質有待提高的問題.
也就是說,民主製度不是拿來就可以的,民眾的素質不行,文化傳統不合拍,民主在實施過程中就困難重重。
在一個傳統文化厚重的國家,民主之路是艱難的。
再次感謝
希望大陸以後少走這些彎路,也能早點開始民主生活。
其實君憲和共和製國號與民主製度實質無關.我們能看到打著君憲旗子的專製也能看到打著共和旗子的專製. 台灣實現民主製度隻有二十多年的曆史.有不完善的地方,但終究是民主製度. 又有誰能說哪國的民主製度最完美最算標準呢?
何況台灣在實現民主的今天存在的一些問題並不是民主製度的問題,而是參與者和參與組織本身素質有待提高的問題.
謝謝!

你也太會瞎扳,太“民主”了。
你大概是“蘇三進了洪洞縣”了:))這麽多世界上能排上號的民主國家,都入不了火眼金睛了:))
好了,不和你爭了。我說的不對的地方(包括方式方法),請海涵:)我也會靜下心來,認真思考你的觀點。謝謝你開誠布公地討論。
我不是單單依據這個排行表打引號的,但我同意27位後的國家都有flaw,法國,我沒有仔細想過,但意大利,以色列我絕對給他們引號,甚至問好。法國也沒好到哪裏。
我還是看重民主的靈魂——自由和平等——自己爭取自己的自由和平等,同時尊重他人的平等自由。破壞這兩點,就不配真正的民主。 當然肯定台灣的民主形式,同時對台灣的民主精神賦予更高的期望,也關注未來走向,希望不要步辛亥後塵,不要步菲律賓後塵。
好吧,就說"flawed".引用你的資料(老實說,我以前還真沒看過,也不知道排行)
法國:29
意大利:31
以色列:37(還不如我們台灣涅)
你給不給他們三國打引號?台灣能進30幾名,我真沒想到呢:)
客觀說,如果你依據這個資料給台灣打引號,太不應該了:)
我是說如果美國有一個強有力的反對黨,“或許”仗就打不起來,這仗既然已經打了,騎虎難下,作為美國的“侄子”,加拿大也隻能硬著頭皮表示一下,這不難理解嘛。
我從沒有否認台灣的民主形式,就像我不否認菲律賓印度的民主形式,但民主的內涵和精神上,這些國家都是值得打個引號甚至問號的,我談的這些實質你可以思考一下。另外,那個排行榜你怎麽理解?為什麽不都是full democracy 而有flawed 和hybrid 之分呢?
給flawed打一個引號問題在哪裏呢?
我講的民主的存在形式,你反駁不了,拿幾個台灣的賄選,證明台灣不是真民主。我們加拿大大選是不是還有政黨和候選人在投票前突擊發展黨員的事?是不是有議員甚至政府要員受賄的事?照你的說法,加拿大就不是民主社會了?誰說過民主社會就是十全十美了?
我很欣賞你最後的一段話,再重複一遍:“為台灣開啟中華民族邁向民主之路的先河表示衷心的祝賀,同時祝願海峽兩岸的中國人攜手並進,一起邁向光明。”
