As the most basic-level supervisory authority of the government, the township people's congress is an important responsible link in the implementation of the party's line, principles, policies and major work arrangements. It is a bridge between the party and the government and the people, and it is also close to the people. , an important link close to the grassroots. In maintaining social stability, promoting economic development, and safeguarding the interests of the masses, it has a more forward and important position, and its role is more direct and obvious. To this end, based on the actual work, the author talks about some superficial understandings of further strengthening the work of township people's congresses.

1. The basic results and achievements of the Gouyuan Town People’s Congress work

There are 7 administrative villages (communities) in the town. As of 2013, the town had a population of 11,187 people and 50 people’s congress representatives. people, including 47 deputies to the town-level people's congress and 5 deputies to the county-level people's congress. In recent years, our town has always adhered to the party's leadership, strengthened its own construction, implemented standardized operations, deepened work innovation, carried out representative activities, and solidly promoted villagers' self-governance work. The work of the town People's Congress has always shown a good development trend, and has promoted a beautiful and prosperous new era. Made a positive contribution to the construction of Gouyuan.

(1) Basic results of the work of the National People’s Congress

The operating mechanism has become increasingly standardized. The system construction has been further supplemented and improved, forming an operating mechanism with "clear responsibilities, division of labor, standardized and orderly, pragmatic and efficient". Based on the division of labor mechanism of the presidium members of the town people's congress, the tasks and responsibilities of the presidium members to guide the representative group and the enterprise are more scientific and targeted. Based on the deputies' performance evaluation, the deputies' enthusiasm for performing their duties has been greatly improved. Taking the "four meetings and six steps" deliberative mechanism as the standard, the quality and efficiency of the presidium's deliberations have been significantly improved. The work of the National People's Congress has been advancing steadily. Last year, a representative work report activity was carried out as a unit of representative groups. 47 representatives publicly posted their achievements and the public actively participated. The activity was highly praised by the local people. Members of the presidium actively visited enterprises to help them solve practical difficulties, achieving an industrial output value of 2.02 billion yuan and fixed asset investment of 360 million yuan in 2013.

Supervision work is very tough. The town people's congress uses supervision difficulties to promote implementation through public opinion, promotes the solid advancement of central work, and continuously improves people's satisfaction. By means of monthly notifications of key tasks, inspections, supervision, and investigations, we strengthen the supervision of economic work and promote the smooth operation of the town's economic development; with "pre-decision-making supervision, during-participation supervision, and post-event supervision Based on the principle of "tracking supervision", we have promoted the scientific and standardized budget preparation and budget execution to ensure that local finance can maximize the benefits to the people; focusing on the supervision of special funds, we have strengthened the supervision of people's livelihood work and ensured that the people can enjoy the dividends of the reform; Taking the improvement of the Han River water source as an opportunity, we have strengthened the supervision of ecological and environmental protection, ensuring the basic environment for building a beautiful and prosperous new society; using the National People's Congress review as a platform, we have strengthened restrictions and supervision on the exercise of power, effectively preventing corruption. occurred, ensuring a clean and honest governance style. Over the past few years, the supervision of the work of the National People's Congress has focused on actual results, seeking actual results based on actual results, which is eye-catching and inspiring, conveying strong positive energy to standardize the operation of power and ensure that the people are the masters of the country.

Democratic autonomy is meticulous. The work of villagers’ self-governance has always been regarded as a basic project to improve the supervision function of the People’s Congress, rejuvenate development vitality, and promote the construction of a harmonious society. The staff of the town People’s Congress Office went deep into the front line to study together with the local congress representatives and the masses. Each village formed a village branch. Leaders, villagers' committees, villagers' supervisory committees, village-level people's congress deputies, and village-level democratic deliberative management institutions as the main bodies have formed the "Villers' Autonomy Charter" and "Village Rules and Regulations" that are rich in the actual conditions of each village. In the past few years, 130 various discussions and supervision activities have been carried out, 86 matters have been decided, more than 340 items have been supervised, and 33 items have been discovered and improved. The "two systems" of the villagers' discussion system and the villagers' supervision committee have been fully implemented.

The motion proposal is very convincing. Last year, representatives from the town put forward 35 suggestions, including 3 bills from the County People's Congress and 32 suggestions from the representatives. With the joint efforts of all the organizing units, the representatives' suggestions and bills were all completed within the legal time, achieving the goal of The opinions and suggestions have a completion rate of 100%, and a satisfaction rate and basic satisfaction rate of over 95%. A suggestion from the secretary of the town party committee to "promote the construction of beautiful Gouyuan with three better goals" pointed out the direction for the development of Gouyuan; Wang Dingji, a deputy to the People's Congress of Yangshan Village, made a proposal to "produce a communication clear card for village cadres to facilitate the masses. The suggestion of "dealing with difficult problems" brought about "close contact" between cadres and the masses of Gouyuan Town; Zhang Ligui, a representative of Huayuan Village, gave a suggestion of "increasing technical training and increasing farmers' income", which made great contributions to entrepreneurship and increasing income; Gouyuan Community Lu Caijiang, a representative of the National People's Congress, made a proposal to "develop the order industry and implement large-scale production", which polished the "Qingfeng" oil brand... It ranges from macro-strategic decisions that affect the development path of the town to the disposal of construction waste. The representative's suggestions All of them are insightful and subtle, fully reflecting public opinion and effectively promoting the great process of scientific development of Gouyuan Town.

The striving for innovation activities are impressive. By carrying out "Delegates Reception Day", "People's Situation Diary" and "dual contact" activities with the content of "presidium members contacting representatives and voters", a number of key and difficult issues related to people's livelihood security, industrial development and other representatives and people's concerns were solved .

By carrying out the "Four Good Representatives" activities with the content of "good ideological quality, good performance of duties, good compliance with laws and regulations, and good role models" and "high starting point of work plan goals, high quality of representative group work, and good representative contact" The "Five High Representative Groups" strive for innovation with the content of "high voter frequency, high level of democratic supervision and deliberation at the village level, and high level of promotion of featured and highlighted work". Seven outstanding representative groups have emerged in the town, including the Huahua Village Representative Group, Ke Changyuan 10 outstanding National People's Congress representatives and 35 "Four Good" representatives such as Lu Caijiang fully stimulated the endogenous motivation to strive for excellence and formed a good atmosphere for excellence. The presidium's performance of duties, representative group activities, and representative contact with voters have become normalized and standardized.

(2) Basic experience gained from the work achievements of the National People’s Congress

Adhere to the party’s leadership and ensure that the National People’s Congress keeps up with the overall situation. Upholding the party's leadership and grasping the correct political direction are the fundamental guarantees for doing a good job in the work of the National People's Congress. Since 2013, the People’s Congress of our town has made a series of useful and bold attempts and explorations on how to handle the relationship with the party committee and the government. First, centering on the central tasks of the Party committee and the government, the National People's Congress's annual work plan shall be coordinated so that all the work of the National People's Congress is coordinated with the Party committee, a game of chess with the overall work, and a play with the Party committee and government, so as to make positive contributions to economic and social development. The second is to closely follow the key points of the party committee's annual work and determine the important decisions made by the party committee, the government's efforts to promote, and the general concerns of the people as this year's work topics. In 2014, the Presidium of the Town People's Congress organized representatives to carry out inspection activities based on the government's key points at the beginning of the year, and formed a plan to "increase the budget for comprehensive management of the Han River by 350,000 yuan, purchase garbage trucks and garbage bins, build 50 garbage pools, plant trees and grass, and promote comprehensive management of the Han River. "Work" review opinions were implemented by the government in a timely manner, and the process of building a beautiful structure was further accelerated. The third is to closely focus on the government's key tasks to carry out supervision, and ensure the smooth progress of various key tasks by listening to deliberation work reports, special work evaluations, surveys, inspections and other measures. The fourth is to actively serve as a staff assistant to the party committee and government, take the initiative to conduct investigations and studies around the central work of the party committee, provide advice and suggestions, and assist the party committee in promoting the implementation of various decisions. At the beginning of this year, through visits, surveys, inspections and other measures, the town people's congress successively proposed "vigorously develop green industries and gradually form a pattern of six major industrial communities including modern agricultural parks, tobacco, fruits, tung oil, honeysuckle, and animal husbandry" and "Ten Filial Stars" The 7 suggestions including "Second Selection Activity" have been adopted by the party committee and government, effectively promoting the sustained, healthy and coordinated development of the town's economy and society.

Innovate learning methods to ensure effective training. The presidium of the People's Congress of our town has formulated a multi-level, multi-channel, and three-dimensional learning and training mechanism of "go out to learn and invite in to teach", which is a supplement and improvement to the previous "combination of concentrated learning and self-study" method. "Going out to learn" means actively exploring ways for representative groups to learn from each other, go to advanced brother towns and villages to learn work experience, and participate in superior study and training. Since 2012, our town's People's Congress cadres have participated in 6 out-of-county People's Congress trainings, organizing deputies The group carried out 32 mutual learning activities, and organized some representatives to go to Shuhe, Shuanghe and other places to learn experience and further broaden their horizons. "Invite people to teach" means to run classes yourself, and invite members of the town presidium and the National People's Congress to hold special lectures for business personnel or invite advanced figures to report on their advanced deeds. In the past few years, 32 training sessions have been carried out, focusing on learning the spirit of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Constitution, laws and regulations, NPC business and economic theory knowledge. The theoretical and practical level of NPC deputies has been significantly improved.

Standardize operating procedures to ensure that meetings are practical and efficient. The Town People's Congress follows the "four meetings" model in the form of "chairman's meeting, chairman's office meeting, consultation meeting with the Party Committee and the government, and presidium meeting" as its standard, ensuring that major matters decided by the presidium are in line with the overall work of the party committee, the actual situation of the town, and Winning the support and recognition of the masses established the authority of the presidium. At the same time, we strictly followed the "six-step" procedure requirements of accurate topic selection, in-depth research, factual review, rapid transfer, strict supervision, and true evaluation, and carefully grasped every link to ensure that the matters reviewed and decided by the presidium were scientific, rigorous, pragmatic and efficient . In 2013, through the implementation of the "Four Meetings and Six Steps" deliberation process, the "Resolution on Prohibiting Market Town Units and Residents from Setting off Fireworks and Firecrackers during School Teaching Periods", "Gouyuan Town Village-Level Democratic Decision-making Methods", "On the Sesame Solution of Development Orders" A series of resolutions concerning the concerns of the masses such as "Enterprise Production Difficulties" have been implemented, winning praise from the local people and achieving good results. In the past three years, *** has held 13 presidium meetings and agreed on 11 major issues, which has effectively promoted the harmonious development of the local economy and society.

Broaden listening channels to ensure that work is more responsive to public opinion. Whether they are close to the voters or not, and whether the representatives of the voters can talk about everything has always been the top priority of the People's Congress of our town. In order to ease the "confidence" of public opinion and smoothen the expression of public opinion, our town adopted a series of representative activities such as "Double Contact", "Representative Reception Day", "Public Sentiment Diary", "Three Inspections (Inspections) and One Comment", and public sentiment green consultation hotline. , a three-dimensional public opinion collection and integration mechanism has been established for the National People's Congress deputies to listen to the people's voices, interview the people's sentiments, inquire about public opinion, and gather the people's wisdom.

In 2013, based on practices such as the Four Discussions and Two Public Work Method, the town people's congress actively visited deputies and voters to collect suggestions and opinions, and formed a three-linked system led by the village party branch, including the villagers' council, representative group, and villagers supervisory committee. The five-in-one discussion and decision-making system implemented by the village committee has effectively promoted village-level autonomy. Over the past few years, through the implementation of a three-dimensional public opinion collection and integration mechanism, the Town People's Congress Office has passed the collected and integrated public opinions of the People's Congress deputies to the members of the National People's Congress presidium, and built channels for mutual communication between the members of the National People's Congress presidium and the People's Congress deputies, and between the People's Congress deputies and voters. The effective connection between the public opinion expressions of the members of the National People's Congress Presidium and the National People's Congress deputies has been achieved, thus giving the National People's Congress Presidium more extensive and solid public support for the performance of its duties.

2. Difficulties and problems faced

1. The understanding of duty performance is vague, and some representatives are passive in performing their duties. In actual work, due to insufficient understanding of the nature, status and role of the People's Congress system, and vague understanding of the rights and obligations conferred by the law on deputies to the People's Congress, some deputies lack the awareness of their duties as representatives, and some are content to be "honorary representatives" " are content to obtain the political status of "people's congress representatives"; some are content to be "honorary representatives" and are content to participate in meetings and activities; some representatives are self-conscious and feel that they are insignificant and no one listens to what they say, so they are content to be "Dumb Representative". These deputies do not truly realize that deputies to the National People’s Congress are a sacred position, and they do not differentiate themselves from other citizens in that they have the important responsibility of exercising their right to be the masters of the country on behalf of the people. The existence of these “fill-in deputies” has greatly affected the functions of the National People’s Congress. function. At the same time, the bills, suggestions, opinions and criticisms put forward by some grassroots people's congress deputies often hope that the government will handle them as smoothly as possible. However, in practice, there are still problems such as delayed delivery, insufficient supervision, and insufficient implementation, which hinders the performance of deputies. job enthusiasm.

2. Lack of ability to perform duties means that representatives have no "confidence" to perform their duties. Grassroots people's congress representatives are the "organizing cells" of township people's congresses, and their quality directly affects the quality of the grassroots people's congresses' performance of their duties. Objectively speaking, the education level of Gouyuan Town People's Congress deputies is generally low, mainly with junior high school and primary school education. They have insufficient learning ability, do not know much about the party's principles and policies and the country's laws and regulations, and are not strong in the ability to participate in the management of national affairs. , resulting in insufficient "confidence" for them to perform their duties. The result is that some representatives talk in random directions during meetings, miss the point, and fail to grasp the key point; some representatives are afraid of saying the wrong thing and making people laugh, so they simply do not speak; some are bound by old traditional concepts and They do not have a broad vision, have little knowledge, and cannot keep up with the development of the situation. They tend to stick to one thing at a time and lack long-term perspectives and overall concepts, making it difficult to demonstrate their representative role; some representatives also want to fulfill their representative obligations, but do not know how to perform their duties.

3. There are errors in understanding, and some cadres fail to pay attention to them. In actual work, individual units and individual cadres ignore the legal status and work functions of the National People's Congress, and do not support, cooperate with, or care about the relevant National People's Congress business work that concerns them. They believe that the township People's Congress is just a decoration, just a formality and fulfilling its duties. It's just a legal procedure. It's better to do your job well and reflect your political achievements better. Some even think that the National People's Congress is just a retreat, and it is enough to hold regular personal meetings once a year. These understandings have affected the normal work of grassroots people's congresses to a certain extent.

4. Supervision is insufficient and there is a phenomenon of blurring and weakening. Although the Constitution and the law have given the National People's Congress and the Presidium clear powers, in practice, the National People's Congress's supervision authority and strength are insufficient, and government supervision is still "vaccinated" and "weakened" to a certain extent. The forms of supervision prescribed by law are rarely used. Supervision lacks breadth and depth, with more procedural supervision and less rigid supervision. There are more people singing praises and less pointing out problems. There is too much understanding and few restrictions, and the effect is not obvious.

3. Countermeasures and Suggestions

1. Innovate training methods to strengthen representatives’ enthusiasm for performing their duties. First, in terms of training content, focus on pertinence. There are too many farmer representatives in our town. In addition to the systematic training of legal knowledge, the training content also needs to strengthen the training of representatives’ knowledge and skills in policy, research and writing, agriculture-related policies, etc., so as to improve the comprehensive ability of National People’s Congress representatives to perform their duties under the new situation. Qualities and levels of ability. The second is to formulate a rotation training mechanism, set up scientific rotation training courses, and build necessary rotation training positions to ensure that each National People's Congress representative can receive training more than once a year. Third, in addition to using class training, meeting-based training, and follow-up training, we will further promote the "go out, invite in" teaching method to maximize the enthusiasm of representatives to participate in training and improve the effectiveness of training in all aspects.

2. Improve the evaluation mechanism and ensure that representatives strictly enter and exit. An "access system" must be implemented in imports. We must strictly control the entrance of National People's Congress deputies, conduct in-depth investigation and understanding in all aspects of recommendation, preparation, election, etc., and actively elect outstanding candidates from voters. They must truly have high political awareness, have certain ability to participate in and discuss politics, be willing and good at Those who serve the people are elected as deputies to the National People's Congress. Break the "final term system" in exports. Establish a target management and assessment system for representative performance, strengthen the assessment of representative performance through regular representative evaluations, representative performance reports, etc., and evaluate "honorary representatives", "silent representatives", "wordless representatives" and pure " Unqualified representatives such as "conference representatives" must have smooth exits, break the "end-term system" for the term of office of National People's Congress representatives, and further stimulate the vitality of representatives.

3. Enhance the effectiveness of supervision and enhance the deterrence of the National People’s Congress’ supervision. The first is to highlight the rigidity of supervision and strive to dare to ask questions about issues that fall within the scope of the National People's Congress's supervision. Express your opinions directly and dare to put forward opinions and criticisms on reports submitted to the Presidium of the National People's Congress for deliberation. Dare to question and investigate units and individuals who have committed disciplinary violations. Dare to check whether the government is acting in accordance with the law. The second is to be good at using supervision methods. In the supervision work, the means of supervision should highlight the word "flexible", adapt to local conditions, take multiple measures, comprehensively use various forms, and increase the depth and intensity of supervision. The third is to do a good job of "looking back" on supervision opinions. Implement research return visits and effect evaluation mechanisms, and explore the use of supervision methods such as inquiry, interrogation, investigation of specific issues, and filing and review to enhance the effectiveness of supervision.

4. Strengthen external publicity efforts and increase the influence of grassroots people's congresses. The first is to give full play to the advantages of mainstream media, strengthen the connection with party newspapers, party journals and various news media, organize and plan special publicity, strengthen the publicity of the work of the National People's Congress, and expand the influence and radiation; the second is to open up publicity positions and use symposiums , commendation meetings, publicity boards and other means to publicize the work of the presidium, the activities of the representative group, and the typical examples of NPC deputies who actively participate in politics and perform their duties, such as dedication based on their posts, hard work and prosperity, etc., to create an atmosphere and display the demeanor of representatives. , enhance the image of the National People's Congress. The third is to create internal publications, expand publicity channels, continuously innovate and expand the carrier forms of publicity, strengthen internal learning and exchanges, expand coverage, and deepen cadres, representatives, and the masses’ understanding of the nature of the National People’s Congress.
