选拔干部,从领导点将到与群众推举相结合,显示了我国的干部人事制度已从独断走向民主,正趋向成熟。从实践中我们也可以看到,以民主集中制的方式推选出来的干部,大多是经得起考验的德才兼备的干部。但是,当民意成为选拔干部中一道不可逾越的鸿沟而成为必然选择时,官场上一些新的动向就会随之出现。只要我们的相应制度还处于相对滞后的状态,就很容易产生“上有政策、下有对策”的不良行为。虽然我们对“老河口民意罢官风波”引起种种质疑很难作出准确评判,但在抽丝剥茧后,人们从中仍可看出一个严肃而现实的命题,那就是:“选拔干部到底需要什么样的民意”? The selection of cadres, from the point of leadership to the combination with the masses, shows that our cadre and personnel system has moved from dictatorship to democracy and is becoming more mature. In practice, we can also see that cadres who were elected by the method of democratic centralism are mostly capable cadres of both ability and political integrity that can stand the test. However, when public opinion becomes an inevitable choice in the selection of an insurmountable gap between cadres, some new trends in the officialdom will follow. As long as our corresponding system is still in a relatively backward state, it is very easy to have the bad behavior of “having policy and having countermeasures”. Although it is difficult to make accurate judgments on the questions raised by the people in the mouth of the old mouth, we can still see a serious and realistic proposition after the clumsiness, which is: “What kind of candidates should be selected in the end? Public opinion ”?
