從陸克文提議看黨內民主的來源
老幾
據澳洲廣播公司報道，陸克文宣布將擴大黨內民主，讓普通黨員來決定黨的最高領導，而不是由核心圈的幾個人來控製。用陸克文的話說“togive Labor Party members a say in deciding who leads the ALP.”
善良的人看到這個消息可能會想，陸克文真是個講民主的好人啊。老幾不反對這種說法，隻不過陸克文這個“好人”，是被政治鬥爭的醜惡給逼出來的。從過去幾年的表現，用前工黨領袖，陸的同誌馬克雷森的話說，陸克文此人之惡劣，無人品好言。
馬克雷森有一點像中國的胡耀邦，是個有理想有良知的好同誌。問題是政治是個肮髒的遊戲，利益高於一切，良知是最要不得的。中外無有不同，人性使然。馬克耀邦錯誤理解了政治，所以結局不好，是必然的。馬克雷森怪陸克文給自己捅刀子，給吉拉德捅刀子，卻忘了前次吉拉德捅陸克文的前一天，還信誓旦旦表忠心的那幅惡心樣子。澳洲與中國不同的是，政客的醜是公開的，給大家娛樂；而中國政壇漆黑一團，外人不知而已。
陸克文挨了一刀後變聰明了，也沒有像中國古人那樣臥薪嚐膽；而是暗中反擊，讓吉拉德總理同誌沒有一天好日子過。這次還捅一刀以後，痛定思痛，決定換一種玩法，免得再被工會“政治局”的沒麵人（FACELESSMEN）雇凶追殺。

陰陽轉換，捅刀子的壞事，變成了擴大民主的好事，形勢使然，都是出於自己利益。由此推及大陸政壇，強力維穩，貪官反貪，人人自危，也未見得符合政客們的利益。物極必反，矛盾的終點，會不會是一個好的開端？
附英文原文如下：
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has announced he wants to give Labor Party members a say in deciding who leads the ALP.Mr Rudd says the full federal ministry agreed to the idea on Monday, and he has called a meeting of all Caucus members for a fortnight's time to approve it.He says the change would mean the leader would be elected jointly, with votes from party members given a 50 per cent weighting and the elected Labor Caucus making up the other 50 per cent.
Under the Westminster system, the prime minister is not directly elected, but Mr Rudd says the public wants to know that the prime minister who comes to power will serve a full term in government.
"So this rule change is clear: if a leader of the Australian Labor Party takes the party to the election and they are
returned to form the government of the nation, that person remains as leader of the party in the government for the duration of that term," he said.
returned to form the government of the nation, that person remains as leader of the party in the government for the duration of that term," he said.
The changes mean leaders cannot be replaced in the way Mr Rudd was in June 2010 - or Julia Gillard last month.
"The reforms I announce today will give more power to everyday members of the Labor Party. They will ensure that power will never again rest in the hands of a factional few," Mr Rudd told reporters in Canberra.
"Make no mistake, this is the most significant reform to the Australian Labor Party in recent history.
"It is one that should be welcomed by all members of the ALP across the nation, whether you are a long-serving member of Parliament, a loyal hardworking volunteer, a union activist active in our local branches or a student who has just joined Young Labor."
If the rule change is adopted by Caucus, it would mean that a future Labor prime minister could only be deposed if 75 per cent of Caucus wanted a special ballot - currently only 30 per cent is required.
Candidates would need the support of 20 per cent of Caucus to run, and the ballot would take up to 30 days, instead of the lightning fast changes seen in recent years.
