中新網(wǎng)北京1月9日電(蔣鯉)在15輪投票表決后美國眾議院長選舉這場連續(xù)劇”終落下帷幕，議院共和黨袖凱文?麥錫最終成功選第55任美國眾議院議。這是美國會過去164年來耗時最的一次議長舉記錄，將國“對抗式主”的弊端露無遺。資圖：美國眾院共和黨領(lǐng)麥卡錫。中社記者 沙晗汀 攝由于兩黨對立加劇黨派內(nèi)斗、益分配不均因素，眾議選舉陷入一拉鋸戰(zhàn)。在次眾議長競中，美國民黨議員繼續(xù)團，多輪投中，一票不麥卡錫，共黨右翼“強派”領(lǐng)頭的20人小團體也拒絕投票卡錫。麥卡的當(dāng)選之路波三折，除本人的“政投機派”角在國會不受迎外，與共黨內(nèi)部政治歧關(guān)系密切一方面，共黨黨內(nèi)反對認為，麥卡對民主黨態(tài)過于軟弱，力對抗民主控制的參議和拜登政府另一方面，為共和黨的數(shù)優(yōu)勢微弱黨內(nèi)一些影力較小的派的政治力量被放大，有于他們鞏固己的選票。外，黨內(nèi)反者也認為，己的選票沒換取更多利，希望以此為籌碼換取卡錫更大的步，比如讓們獲得眾議重要委員會的職務(wù)。作僅次于美國統(tǒng)、副總統(tǒng)政壇三號人，眾議院議通常由眾議多數(shù)黨領(lǐng)袖任，選舉幾沒有懸念。而，麥卡錫次為當(dāng)選，得不做出多關(guān)鍵讓步，中可能包括復(fù)一項罷黜長動議機制使得眾議長權(quán)力被削弱難以掌控眾院。美國有電視新聞網(wǎng)CNN稱，麥卡錫在這場不時宜的政治索中作出讓，這種綏靖策只會讓極主義勢力更強大。這場發(fā)全世界圍的尷尬選舉露出美國政存在嚴(yán)重的立和分化。權(quán)力博弈思的裹挾下，派利益凌駕國家和人民益之上，美兩黨相互拆，陷入“為對而反對”無腦對壘。即便是一黨，也會因為益分配問題生不同的小系，相互對，選票變成謀利益的工。從國會山亂到打破記史記錄的15輪眾議長選，“對抗式主”讓美國治陷入瓶頸長期對抗勢會讓政客們失客觀公正判斷能力，政治階層是有能力治理家也會引發(fā)疑。兩黨之和黨派內(nèi)斗一步放大了國政治體制病，美國所的“民主”象，讓全世大跌眼鏡。吹以選民利為先的美式舉，變成了客們利益置的游戲，進步彰顯出美“民主政治日漸失能，斷極化的黨已使美國政制度陷入死環(huán)。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. 編輯?
