How to treat the essence of political participation in western countries? This article introduces as follows:

The western "democracy" system is still a "game" for the rich. Western democratic theory holds that only by implementing a competitive political party system, through public opinion selection and political party game, can an ideal ruling party and leader be produced. However, in the pluralistic, diverse and changeable era, profound changes have taken place in the politics, social structure, people's value orientation and lifestyle of western political parties. As the inheritors of ideology and the tools for conveying social interests, political parties have increasingly become "election machines".

Party politics has degenerated into an election game, and party elections have become the "elite show" of leaders. Money politics, polarization politics and corruption politics have become more and more prominent, and western multi-party democracy is deeply mired in institutional difficulties. With the continuous development of economic liberalization and financialization, financial oligarchs are "in full swing and powerful". Politicians are "rich people" and political parties are "financial predators", thus forming the same interests of "life and death and * * * *".

No matter what western political parties believe in, they will marry big capital one after another. Although political parties have different policy opinions, they cannot offend big capital, but instead become a tool for big capital to seek benefits and use. The western "democracy" system is still a tool of class rule. Although measures have been taken to cover up the nature of its exploitation, it still cannot change its backwardness, exploitation and oppression of the people.

Modern western democratic politics has three main characteristics: first, there is a parliament that exercises state power on behalf of public opinion; The second is to implement the principle of power checks and balances; The third is to implement party politics. The fundamental factors contributing to the establishment and development of modern western democratic politics are: the development of capitalist economy and the long-term struggle of various democratic forces represented by the bourgeoisie.

Through the analysis of the establishment and development of modern western democratic politics, we can find that although the development of democratic politics in Britain, France, the United States and Germany is different, they have all established a representative system with parliament as the core in form. This political model is conducive to adjusting social contradictions and maintaining social stability, which is a great progress in history. In addition, the establishment of democratic politics and its different development models are closely related to the historical and cultural traditions of relevant countries, the level of productivity development and other basic national conditions.

History is a mirror. Exploring the construction of democratic politics in modern western countries is helpful to form the cognition that the process from autocracy to democracy and from rule of man to rule of law is an extremely long and difficult historical process, and to establish the ideal of life in the construction of socialist political civilization.

It seems hard to understand that the capitalist system that has always advertised democracy needs democracy. Following the 200 1 Enron corruption case, corporate financial scandals are the key words that frequently appear in western media reports. At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, the financial scandal of Palmarat, Italy's largest food processing enterprise, became a hot news.

Some media warned that the looting of company property by senior managers of large companies is still spreading. It is not an exaggeration to describe their abuse of power with "unrestrained and solitary"; Restricting power by democracy is the proper meaning in the title.
