【新唐人2011年9月9日訊】廣州市數百萬名選民8號進行區、縣級人大代表選舉，從近9000名候選人中選出5000多人，但這次的候選人全部由各政黨或機構提名，自薦參選的“獨立參選人”無一進入候選人名單。專家認為，不能代表人民的人民代表大會只是用來愚弄百姓的，全國人民代表大會淪落為中共附屬品，是中國的一個悲劇。
6月以來，廣州市至少14人公開宣稱要自薦參選人大，其中多數受到所在機構或家庭的壓力被迫放棄，最終只有5人收集到足夠推薦人數進入初選名單，但最終仍未能成為候選人。
據《明報》消息，這次封殺獨立參選人的命令，是由全國人大委員長吳邦國親自下達，要求各地一旦發現，要全力阻止，除在選舉程序中層層設卡，還可發動輿論“圍剿”。
中國社會民主黨中央委員會主持人劉因全認為，這種完全由中共各部門確定的候選人，根本不能代表人民，這種選舉沒有任何民主意義。
劉因全：“歷年來中共的人大代表都是由共產黨的部門來提出候選人，都是他們反反覆覆通過政審、篩選，他們認為是政治可靠的。這本身是一種諷刺，這是強姦民意的做法，愚弄人民的一種做法。”
廣州村民代表羅先生也確認，現在基層人大代表都是委任的，不是選舉的，所以也沒有人對選舉真正關心。
羅先生（廣州村民代表）：“你的觀點（跟他）不一致，你選上也沒有用，選上了也會推你下來，沒有權力說話的。”
近幾個月，全國各地先後湧現的數百名獨立參選人，紛紛受到當地有關部門的約談、威脅、軟禁、綁架，甚至拘捕，使獨立參選活動面臨全軍覆沒。
曾經聲稱要參選的上海作家夏商，以及成都作家李承鵬最終都在壓力下放棄。曾獲2005年中國經濟改革十大傑出青年稱號、同時被中國作協評為當代百位最具影響力的作家曹天，宣佈競選鄭州市市長几個月來，遭到河南當局的“深度調查”，還被開出600萬的巨額罰單。此外，他所在公司的多名股東被鄭州市紀委“雙規”。
杭州市下城區市民徐彥，獨立參選人大候選人。他認為，作為一個選民和公民，按憲法完全有權利參加選舉，有權成為被選舉人。徐彥表示，外界的壓力，不能改變他參選的信念。
徐彥：“既然他來查我的公司，威脅我的家人、威脅我的個人，那說明他怕我。既然他怕我，我就沒有必要怕他啦。所有阻力和困難並不能成為我真正的阻力，因為他不能阻礙我的前進，不能阻礙我繼續做下去”
徐彥最大的願望是真正代表“民意”去做事，杜絕那些因強拆而死、因強拆而被車子軋了或其他悲慘事情的發生。他同時也對廣州的獨立參選人全軍覆沒表示不解。
徐彥：“我相信今天廣州計票公正的話，肯定會有獨立參選人當選的。”
不過，還有人反對獨立參選人參加選舉。
廣東維權人士天理認為，這種不是一人一票的選舉就是一種炒作，因為選上、選不上，根本都不能在中共這個獨裁體制下起到作用。
天理：“就算你選上，也沒用，只不過拿你來做一個假象，為他們貼金而已。你還要為這個獨裁政權服務，你不可能有反對聲音的，這個政權不會你有反對聲音。其實那些人民代表認同的法案都是政府的，他們藉著政府的傳媒糊弄老百姓的。其實他們是“黨指揮槍”。”
劉因全也認為，按照中國的憲法，全國人民代表大會是最高權力機關，現在，它成為共產黨的一個附屬品，一個橡皮圖章，這本身違犯憲法，也是一個悲劇。。

NPC Elections: “A Satire, Rape Of Public Opinion”?
主播：
On September 8, millions of voters in Guangzhou voted
for the District and County People’s Congress representatives.
Out of 9,000 candidates, 5,000 people will be elected.
Candidates were nominated by political parties/organizations,
with no independent candidates nominated. Experts believe,
National People』s Congress (NPC) can』t represent the people,
and it is only used to fool people, becoming an appendage
of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and tragic for China.
Since June, at least 14 independent candidates
openly declared their wish to participate in the NPC elections.
Most of them had given up under the pressure
of their employers or families.
Eventually only five gathered sufficient numbers to enter
the primary list, but ultimately could not become candidates.
According to Hong Kong』s Ming Pao newspaper,
the order to get rid of independent candidates was issued
by the NPC Chairman Wu Bangguo.
He required all regions to get rid of independent candidates.
Besides layers of blockade in the election process, they can
mobilize public opinion for 『encirclement and suppression.』
Liu Yinquan, China Social Democratic Party Secretary said
that candidates are determined by the CCP departments;
they could not represent the people at all.
Thus such an election has no democratic nature.
Liu Yinquan (Secretary, China Social Democratic Party):
“NPC candidates were usually nominated by the CCP.
They were screened repeatedly in political checkups,
and were considered reliable to CCP.
This is a satire, rape of public opinion,
and a way to fool the people."
Mr. Luo, a representative of a village in Guangzhou said
grassroots NPC representatives are all appointed, not elected,
so no one really cares about the election.
Mr. Luo (representative of a Guangzhou village):
“If your opinion is inconsistent with it (CCP),
it』s useless even if you are elected.
They will bring you down, and you have no power to speak."
Recently, hundreds of independent candidates emerged
across the country and were interviewed by the authorities.
They were threatened, put under house arrests, kidnapped,
or even arrested, thus independent candidates were eliminated.
Writer Xia Shang in Shanghai and Li Chengpeng in Chengdu,
once claimed to run for the election, gave up under pressure.
Cao Tian, who once won the title 『2005 Ten Outstanding
Youths in China’s Economic Reform,』
and was awarded as one of the 『Top 100 Most Influential
Contemporary Writers』 by the Chinese Writers Association,
announced his campaign for mayor of Zhengzhou.
In the past few months, he was investigated thoroughly
by the authorities in Henan and was given a fine
for the amount of RMB6 million.
In addition, many of his company’s shareholders were
require to report problems within given time and place
by Zhengzhou Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission.
Xu Yan, a citizen at downtown Hangzhou,
became an independent candidate of NPC.
He believes that as a voter and citizen, he has a full right
to participate in the elections according to the Constitution.
Xu Yan said the external pressure can not affect
his determination to participate in the election.
Xu Yan: “It (CCP) came to check my company, it threatened
my family and myself. This shows it was afraid of me.
So I do not need to be fearful of it Difficulties and resistance
can』t stop me or my progress, can』t hinder my moving on."
Xu Yan』s greatest wish is to truly represent the public and
stop the tragedies of people dying during demolitions.
He did not understand why independent candidates
had given up in Guangzhou.
Xu Yan: “I believe if there is a fair vote count in Guangzhou,
an independent candidate will be elected."
However, there are people who do not believe
in the election of independent candidates.
Guangdong-based justice activist Tianli thinks that voting
is just a speculation if not everyone can vote.
Independent candidates or not, they could not fulfill
their responsibilities in the communist regime』s environment.
Tianli: “Even if you are elected, it is useless.
You are just to create a false impression and gild them.
You have to serve the dictatorship』s regime. You can not
voice opposition, and this regime will not allow you
to have an opposing voice. In fact those representatives
of the people are the government』s window-dressing,
they just use the media to fool the people.
In reality it is still 『the Party calls the shots.』
Liu also believes that the NPC is the highest authority,
according to China’s Constitution,
but now CCP has turned it to an accessory, a rubber-stamp,
which is actually a violation of the Constitution, and tragic.
