党的十七大报告进一步将尊重党员主体地位作为推进党内民主建设的重要举措之一。尊重党员主体地位是党员有意愿有能力行使对党的事务的各项权利,包括党员的主体意愿和主体能力。增强党员主体意愿的有效途径是建立和完善以竞争选举制为核心的选举制度,增强党员主体能力的有效途径是健全以党务公开制为核心的知情制度。 The report of the 17th CPC National Congress further respects the party’s main body’s status as one of the important measures to push forward the building of inner-party democracy. Respecting the principal status of party members is a party member’s will to have the ability to exercise the rights of party affairs, including the party’s main will and the subjective ability. An effective way to enhance the party’s main body will be to establish and improve the electoral system with the core of the competitive election system. An effective way to enhance the party members’ ability is to improve the informed system with the open party system as the core.
