28 days, the eleventh session of the Eleventh National People's Congress in Beijing. This is the first time the draft amendments to the electoral law to be listed as deliberations on the Council, which is the fifth election law amendment. It is reported that the controversial , means the electoral law in the I have two questions: First, why is not the right to vote for this group of farmers themselves, but other groups, and related legislative experts and scholars? Second, the problem of shortage of farmers the right to vote, the electoral law adopted in 1979 has been in existence, and after four changes, how to pay attention only today, think of equal rights?
for equal suffrage in the field of vision of the world, whether it is women's right to vote, or vote a particular race, are the subject of rights struggles of self effort and results. In the United States, the first women could not vote, but in the past hundred years of women's development, the women's representatives continue to promote the feminist movement, and ultimately obtained the right to vote in 1920; the black vote is also the case, African Americans received the right to vote is In 1965, while in the process of fighting for the right to vote, blacks showed a positive efforts, the most representative is published and women farmers the right to vote does not tell us the right to vote the same language. But the main force fighting for the rights, not the subject of rights themselves, but other groups, then it is should not. This shows that our awareness of the rights of this group of farmers too weak, or even not aware of fight for their rights than their own efforts; and, hope other groups to fight for their rights, in itself is not reliable.
farmers the right to vote less than 30 years, why not pay attention to? In fact, blindly attributed to awareness of the rights of farmers weak, is not enough. because awareness of their rights in real terms from the right to develop. If the right to directly affect the interest, then, even if lack of awareness of rights, by virtue of simple feelings, still less able to realize the harm the right to vote. The reality , we have the right to vote is just symbolic than substantive. It is this group of farmers are not aware of the root causes of lack of voting rights, but also until 30 years later, other groups and experts and scholars to think about for farmers in the cause of equal rights on the election where.
As experts said, after 1995, the representative of urban and rural population represented change from the previous 1:8 1:4. proportionally speaking, the electoral rights of farmers has increased, but nine session, representatives of the Tenth National People's Congress of view, however, reduced the number of representatives of farmers to historic lows. In other words, the peasants the right to vote in the 1 / 8 to 1 / 4, the number of representatives of farmers had fallen instead of rising . This shows how much the right to vote, and elections have no direct contact in real terms. When a right is just the right paper, and not be sitting in real time, we do not attach importance to it inevitable. without attention to the result, let This right is more a mere formality. our right to vote, is in such a vicious circle, more and more nominal.
