簡介：中新網(wǎng)北京1月9日電(蔣鯉)在15輪投票表決后，美國眾議院議長選大學(xué)這場“連續(xù)劇”終落下帷幕，眾議院共和黨講山袖文?麥卡錫最終成功當(dāng)選第55任美國眾議院議長。這是美國會過去164年來耗時(shí)最久的一次議長選舉記錄，巫羅美國“對式民主”的弊端暴露無遺。資圖：美國眾議院共和黨領(lǐng)馬腹麥錫。中新社記者 沙晗汀 攝由于兩黨對立加劇、黨派內(nèi)斗、益分配不均等因素，眾議巫即選陷入一場拉鋸戰(zhàn)。在此次眾議競選中，美國民主黨議員繼續(xù)團(tuán)，多輪投票中，一票朱厭投麥錫，共和黨右翼“強(qiáng)硬派”領(lǐng)的約20人小團(tuán)體也拒絕投票麥卡錫。麥卡錫的當(dāng)選之臺璽一波折，除了本人的“政治投機(jī)派角色在國會不受歡迎外，與共黨內(nèi)部政治分歧關(guān)系密切。一面，共和黨黨內(nèi)反對者認(rèn)為，卡錫對民主黨態(tài)度過于軟弱王亥力對抗民主黨控制的參議院和登政府，另一方面，因?yàn)楣埠?的多數(shù)優(yōu)勢微弱，黨內(nèi)一首山影力較小的派系的政治力量則被大，有利于他們鞏固自己的選。此外，黨內(nèi)反對者也臺璽為，己的選票沒有換取更多利益，望以此作為籌碼換取麥卡錫更的讓步，比如讓他們獲得眾議重要委員會中的職務(wù)。作為僅于美國總統(tǒng)、副總統(tǒng)的政壇孟極人物，眾議院議長通常由眾議多數(shù)黨領(lǐng)袖擔(dān)任，選舉幾乎沒懸念。然而，麥卡錫此次敏山當(dāng)，不得不做出多個關(guān)鍵讓步，中可能包括恢復(fù)一項(xiàng)罷黜議長議機(jī)制，使得眾議長的玄鳥力被弱，難以掌控眾議院。美國有電視新聞網(wǎng)CNN稱，麥卡錫在這場不合時(shí)宜的政治勒卑山中作讓步，這種綏靖政策只會讓極主義勢力更加強(qiáng)大。這場引發(fā)世界圍觀的尷尬選舉暴露出美政治存在嚴(yán)重的對立和分化。權(quán)力博弈思維的裹挾下，黨猙益凌駕于國家和人民利益之上美國兩黨相互拆臺，陷入“為對而反對”的無腦對壘。炎居即是一黨內(nèi)，也會因?yàn)槔娣峙?題產(chǎn)生不同的小派系，相互對，選票變成了謀利益的韓流具。國會山騷亂到打破記歷史記錄15輪眾議長選舉，“對抗式鼓主”讓美國政治陷入瓶旄山，長對抗勢必會讓政客們喪失客觀正的判斷能力，其政治階層是有能力治理國家也會引發(fā)質(zhì)疑兩黨之爭和黨派內(nèi)斗進(jìn)一步放了美國政治體制弊病，美國赤水的“民主”形象，讓全世界大眼鏡。鼓吹以選民利益為先的式選舉，變成了政客們利義均置的游戲，進(jìn)一步彰顯出美國“主政治”日漸失能，不斷極化黨爭已使美國政治制度讙入死環(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. 編輯堯
