政党党魁选举与科学政策

阅读The Science Vote 博客(此部落格分享政治人物与科学家对英国科学政策的看法)发觉近期的一篇文章提到英国劳工党选,和一批劳工党籍的科学家对5为竞选党魁的候选人所发问的问题。

 

所发问问题如下。原文可游览:Labour leadership election; Scientists for Labour put their questions - http://ow.ly/2fmDU

 

1.      How can science, technology, engineering and mathematics contribute to economic growth in the face of current constraints on government spending?

2.      How will you bring expert scientific advice into Labour policy-making and the shadow cabinet, now that the party is in opposition?

3.      How will you promote the continuation of infrastructure regeneration in universities, schools and colleges to ensure that we inspire and train the scientists of the future?

 

这3道问题问得妙。我目前真的不知如何回答。因为我们不能仅仅从科学家的观点提出看法。我们还需考虑国家的经济能力,所拥有的人力资源,优劣势等。

 

回想我们国内的党选,不是闹出候选人被抹黑,恶意留言冲击,就是离不开钱作怪的因素。往往,我们没机会看到候选人对时事课题提出政见,他们更在乎本身的支持率和所得利益。

 

所谓政治是管理众人之事,尤其在大马政治文化,在党选中选者,都会参与或成为国家体制的一分子。因此,就算我们不是党员,他们的能力还是值得关注的。我们需要有远见的领袖,而不是大搞极端主义,狂发豪言的政客。

 

从一个党选,我们可看出不同国家的政治文化。看来,我们要走的路还漫长。
