前几天读到一篇香港中文大学王绍光教授由台湾民主现状论及民主政治质量的文章。他认为代议制的选举民主形式已经失去了民主制度所强调的平等性本质,从“民主”退化到“选主”。即亚里斯多德所述的观点:凡由选票选出的必为寡头政治,而非平民政治。民主的议题太大,这里按下不表。公共经济学的话题中也有一种类似观点,认为多数人投票赞同的结果可能导致多数人都不满意。 A few days ago I read an article from Professor Wang Shaoguang of the Chinese University of Hong Kong on the status of democracy in Taiwan and the quality of democratic politics. In his opinion, the form of representative democracy of elections has lost its equality essence emphasized by the democratic system, from “democracy” to “election of the Lord.” That Aristotle said: Everyone elected by the vote must be an oligarchy, not a civilian. The issue of democracy is too big. There is also a similar view in the topic of public economics that the result voted by the majority may not satisfy most people.
