走好新时代党的群众路线******
【深入学习宣传贯彻党的二十大精神】
作者:马正勇(广东省梅州市委书记)
我们党最大的政治优势是密切联系群众,党执政后最大的危险是脱离群众。群众路线是我们党的生命线和根本工作路线,是我们党永葆青春活力和战斗力的重要传家宝。《习近平谈治国理政》第四卷将“始终坚持人民至上”摆在重要位置,书中关于始终坚持人民至上的重要论述是走好新时代党的群众路线的生动表达。党的二十大报告指出,“全面建设社会主义现代化国家,必须充分发挥亿万人民的创造伟力。全党要坚持全心全意为人民服务的根本宗旨,树牢群众观点,贯彻群众路线”。迈上新征程,必须坚定不移贯彻党的群众路线,始终同人民群众站在一起、想在一起、干在一起。
让群众真正说得上话,防止政策制定脱离群众。习近平总书记指出,好的方针政策和发展规划都应该顺应人民意愿、符合人民所思所盼,从群众中来、到群众中去。党的二十大吹响了全面建设社会主义现代化国家、全面推进中华民族伟大复兴的进军号角。民之所望,政之所向。深入把握人民群众需求的新变化,是做好新时代各项工作任务的重要前提。在工作中,我们要深入基层一线调查研究,坚持面对面的工作方式,多问政于民、问计于民、问需于民,针对不同地域、不同年龄、不同群体的不同需求,倾听不同声音,提高工作的精准性,不可寄希望于一把钥匙开一万把锁。群众在哪里?在背街小巷里、乡村田野中、工厂车间内。因此,我们制定政策征求意见时,要深入基层一线、城乡社区、田间地头,虚心听取群众的所思所盼所愿。在群众面前,我们要做小学生,自觉以人民为师,向能者求教,向智者问策。
让群众真正得到实惠,防止工作落实脱离群众。习近平总书记反复强调,人民对美好生活的向往就是我们的奋斗目标。党员领导干部要时刻牢记共产党就是给人民办事的,为官一任要造福一方,把人民群众是否真正得到实惠作为工作落实的重要判断标准,让人民群众的生活一天比一天好,一年比一年好。特别是对于经济欠发达、发展不充分地区,加快发展、改变落后是群众的最大期盼和心声,要坚定不移狠抓发展第一要务,从“过日子思维”转向“发展思维”,从“投入思维”转向“产出思维”。一方面,推进共同富裕,人人都有责,要共同把“蛋糕”做大做好。紧紧依靠群众推动发展,充分发挥群众的主人翁精神和主体作用,引导群众积极主动参与发展实体经济和推进乡村振兴工作,让群众持续稳定就业创业,不断鼓起钱袋子、过上好日子。另一方面,实现共同富裕,人人都有份,要共同把“蛋糕”切好分好。进一步完善分配制度,坚持按劳分配为主体、多种分配方式并存,让群众充分共享改革发展成果,使老百姓的获得感更有成色、幸福感更可持续、安全感更有保障。对于梅州而言,要把资源要素优先用到“打粮食”项目上,特别是要落实好梅州对接融入粤港澳大湾区加快振兴发展总体方案,建设赣闽粤原中央苏区对接融入粤港澳大湾区振兴发展先行区,推动梅州加快振兴、共同富裕,既为大湾区建设拓展经济腹地,又为革命老区融湾探索路径。
让群众语言真正展示力量,防止政策宣传脱离群众。习近平总书记在各类会议、各种场合讲话中经常使用群众喜闻乐见的语言,比如用“小康不小康,关键看老乡”来诠释全面建成小康社会,用“鞋子合不合脚,只有穿的人才知道”来阐述一个国家发展道路的选择,用“缺钙”“软骨病”来比喻理想信念的缺失……这些语言都是群众语言,非常接地气,真正说到老百姓的心坎里去。文风就是作风,言之有物、表达清晰、通俗易懂,才能让人民群众看得懂、记得住、信得过、用得上,才能提升党委政府的公信力和执行力。我们在制定文件、撰写文章时,要尽可能用深入浅出、朴实简练的文字,让群众愿意看、看得懂。不能夸夸其谈、洋洋洒洒一大堆,看似术语规范、措辞准确,细细琢磨却空洞无物。我们在宣传政策、做群众思想工作时,要多说大白话、大实话,用人民文字连接人民,用群众语言做群众工作,让群众乐意听、听得进。我们要走好新时代党的群众路线,走出“舒适圈”,少点“官气”、多接“地气”,主动到田间地头走一走,到群众家中坐一坐,同老百姓坐在一条板凳上,察民情、顺民心、办民事。特别是进入互联网时代,我们要善于掌握网络用语,善于运用新颖有趣方式,多借助新媒体新平台,生动地宣传党的理论路线方针政策和地方发展的定位目标思路举措。
群众无小事,枝叶总关情。能否走好新时代党的群众路线,对党员干部而言是为民精神与服务意识的“试金石”。每一名党员干部心中必须始终为群众留一把“椅子”,与群众思想同心、目标同向、事业同创,始终保持同人民群众的血肉联系,人民群众才会听党话、感党恩、跟党走。

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.
