全过程人民民主参与实践的特征

Characteristics of the Participatory Practice of Whole-process People s Democracy

全过程人民民主是对中国特色的民主制度体系和中国丰富的民主实践的最新概括,是最广泛、最真实、最管用的社会主义民主。一个国家是否真的民主,要看人民是否既有投票权又有广泛参与权;要看人民在民主选举中得到的承诺以及之后承诺实现的程度;要看法律规定的政治程序、规则以及是否真正执行;要看权力运行程序和规则是否民主以及是否受到人民监督。全过程人民民主不是嘴上喊一喊、纸上写一写,而是转化为现实的具体的全过程人民民主参与实践。在民主参与实践中做到言行一致,实现民主最本真的含义。民主理论的生命力在于民主的实践,没有民主实践就无法将民主理论落到实处,那么民主理论就毫无意义。全过程人民民主的参与实践具有渠道多层次、环节全链条、类型多样化和参与实践全覆盖的特征。这些民主实践特征完美诠释了全过程人民民主对西式民主的超越,是对全过程人民民主的高质量践行的体现。全过程人民民主作为中国式现代化的本质特征,优化全过程人民民主参与实践有利于推动中国式现代化进程。
