The Ideal And The Reality Of Parliamentary Democracy

"Parliamentary democracy" is the basic system of the western people, it is one element of democratic life, the truth is beyond doubt.However, the lawer during the Weimar Germany Schmitt , from the political reality ,made merciless criticism to the parliamentary democracy ,and suggested that the German Government to replace the system with direct spiritual foundation ,as the system has already lost the political commom ground . Shocked people found that he reality of parliamentary democracy, although not as Schmidt pointed out in the end, but it is indeed dangerous. What come to the system of parliamentary democracy and how those critical of the West look at the crisis of parliamentary democracy has become the focal point of attention. This article is to explore these two questions.The times birth the thinkers. To understand a person's thinking, we have to go to his age. In the first part of this article , I described in detail about Schmitt himself and his political thinking. Schmitt is a pragmatic thinker, his political ideas come from the thinking about his time.After World War II, the German was in a loss, social was in the brink of destruction, Germany will establish what kind of a country has become a major issue of contention. Schmitt's "the situation of today's parliamentary ", which is made in that time to answer this question. The book strongly influenced in the contemporary thinkers of the parliamentary system ,as a critical masterpiece.In this paper, the second part of parliamentary democracy around Schmitt for critical system and to start focusing on their interpretation of his ideas. First of all, from comparing with the concepts of the parliamentary system and the real one,Schmitt found that the Parliamentary system was in danger . The mosr significant feature of the concept of Parliamentary system is the debateness and openness.Through free debate, one can find the truth; through openness,one can ensure the fairness of social policy. It is the combination of these two aspects, makes the Council an accurate representation of public opinion, the realization of democracy.On the other hand, the members of Parliament, corrupr by the economic interests, who want to reach an effective compromise, political policy is made in the Republic of the Chamber in Secrets. Contrast to the concept and reality, people are really convinced that the parliamentary system is in crisis, the spirit of parliamentary system has been changed. However, in the mindset of the people, the Parliament is the main hallmark of democracy, popular democracy today against the parliamentary system is anti-democratic. The relationship between Parliament and the democratic ,from the view of Schmitt ,it had become another problem. Carefully look into a modern parliamentary system, Schmitt pointed out that the parliamentary system is an important aspect of liberalism, and sometimes anti-democratic. In other words, parliamentary and democratic tradition that is not as inextricably linked.In the possibility of a parliamentary system, Schmitt believes that the state of Germany at that time, the parliament is willing to lead Germany to embark on the path of dictatorship, as evidenced by Hitler came to power. At the same time, Schmitt noted that the "representative" of the concept of changes have taken place, it is important to the performance of a parliamentary crisis. Finally, Schmitt advocated by presidential elections to replace the national parliamentary system. By parliamentary criticism, Schmitt would like to through a strong political to achieve the reunification of Germany, make it more rich and powerful.Respond to Schmitt's criticism , a number of thinkers make their own view on the concept of parliamentary democracy . As a starting point,Schmitt make his own contribution. Bellamy believed that Schmitt exaggerated parliamentary crisis, his error lies in ignoring the understanding of parliamentary debate. Bellamy believes that it is through parliamentary debate, mutual understanding in the formation of the basis of consensus, rather than Schmitt that "rational to persuade." McCormick that he had found a Schmitt flawed argument: in the writings of Schmitt ,Parliament is regarded as the "endless debate", but in reality, each Council has a set of mechanisms to reach a consensus . In his view, the reason why Schmitt In this way, is to reveal deep-seated contradictions of liberalism. Murphy focuses on the concept of democracy, the proposed procedures from both entities and to understand the modern democracy. Thomas Schmidt, it is believed the spirit of parliamentary system based on questioning. Parliamentary democracy as the modern Western one of the fundamental political system, political system in modern times has played an important role. However, the indisputable fact is that Parliament is indeed a realistic economy - technology and the quagmire in crisis. System of parliamentary democracy reforms.There is also increasing awareness of: parliamentary democracy as a system of human design, it is not the God of political legend, it also has its political, economic and social conditions. Once the soil of the system loss, the effectiveness of the parliamentary democracy the truth and legitimacy will be greatly reduced.The fourth part of this paper is about the Enlightenmen on the parliamentary democracy debate. If the system of in some countries does not consider specific national conditions, it will become a decoration of the administrative authority.Against the feudal system of capitalism, the National Assembly in the legitimacy of state power, the ruling class of the will of the country, the legalization of the exercise of power and political process is open, and so has indeed played a significant role, but with the advent of monopoly capitalism, legislative intervention of administrative power, the authority of the National Assembly has been widely questioned. The decline of parliamentary politics and parliamentary reform also became the political life of the 20th century a great landscape. New era needs new ways of thinking, in the complicated international and domestic situations of the contemporary society, and continuously carry out the reform of the system of parliamentary democracy is the only way out.China is in a critical period of reform, a profound reflection on the parliamentary democracy in this century, the great debate, the reality of our political system has an important role in the enlightenment.
