美国知名智库Brookings(布鲁金斯)办的一场研讨会,主持人是前AIT理事主席卜睿哲,题目
是"Taiwan's Legislative Yuan: Oversight or Overreach?" 台湾立院:监督不足还是管
太多,有兴趣的可以"听"一下,有录音档,不过蛮长的就是了~

台湾参加的学者有苏起(没错,就是92共识那位),以及中研院的吴重礼
有趣的是苏起演讲的结论部分(语音档37分左右,网页右上角有他的投影片),发现他真老实
也很敢讲
1. Legislators are busy mostly with non-legislative matters.
立法委员都在干一些与法案无关的事
2. Standing Committees are mostly perfunctory.
常设委员会大多敷衍了事
3. Caucus Consultations are undemocratic, untransparent, yet decisive.
党团协商不民主,不透明,却有决定权;这里苏起分享说,当年他当立委的时候,一个资
深立委跟他说:别高兴的太早,除非你进得了党团协商那间小房间,否则根本不是真的
"立法"委员
4. Speaker and party whips are the real legislators.
立法院长和党鞭才是真的"立法"委员
5. Speaker Wang is by far the most powerful person, even“the silent real king
”as an editorial recently titled him.
院长王金平是目前立院最有权力的人,甚至像是某社论所称的the silent real king
6. The feud between President Ma and Speaker Wang is at the root of the
current stalemate in LY, as it sabotages the relationship between Executive
Yuan and Legislative Yuan, paralyzes KMT and its caucus in LY, emboldens the
DPP to take a more hardline position, and gives outside forces (e.g., the “
students”) room to intervene.
马总统跟王院长的恩怨是目前立院停摆的主因,因为它破坏了行政院跟立法院的关系,瘫
痪了国民党和其立院党团,让民进党敢采强硬立场,也让外部力量(如‘学生’)有机会介
入
最后他说:
Saddening indeed, but I prefer to give you the truth, and I'll go back home
and face (the) music. 语毕,哄堂大笑XD(因为他开头就讲说,他来这里讲这些回台一定被
骂翻)
真敢讲~~~
