中文摘要 | 紐西蘭的憲政取自英國西敏寺民主,不過它在憲政運作中逐漸 對公共議題採取公民投票作為政府施政参考,不但給民意有一定表 達的管道,而且對政治的進步產生一定的作用。 紐西蘭的公民投票基本上分為由政府和人民推動兩種,前者是 政府針對有關的公共議題制定特別法,配合國會的選舉下進行公民 投票,這種是諮詢性公投,不過政府也可以採取有法律約束力公投, 像 1993 年的「選舉制度公投」;後者是依照 1993 年 9 月『公民發動 的公投法案』,由公民在一年內達成 10%以上合格選民連署,再向國 會書記提出申請,政府配合國會大選舉行這種諮詢性公投,雖然投 票結果不具法律約束力,但是政府仍可以自行擬定或引進相關措施 提交立法。 本文為探討紐西蘭公投制度,依循歷史研究途徑將該國最初的 公投運作、公投理念以及二次大戰以來公投實施狀況作分析,期盼 吾人充分掌握紐國公投制度的底蘊。 |
英文摘要 | New Zealand essentially follows the Westminister system of government. However, in the democratic process it may also ask the entire electorate to either accept or reject a proposal on some public issue. This not only gives a channel for public opinion, but also contributes towards progress in the political and social environment. There are two kinds of referendum in New Zealand. One is initiated by the government and the other by citizens. The former is normally held following a particular referendum act and its voting date is arranged as close to the parliamentary election as possible. The result of such a referendum is non-binding, though the government can undoubtedly adopt a binding referendum as with the Election System Referendum of 1993. The second kind of referendum is conducted according to the Citizens Initiated Referenda Act of 1993. It needs a petition to the parliamentary Clerk. Within one year the initiator should present the signatures of more than 10% electorate in favour. The voting date is about the same as that of the parliamentary election. Although the result is non-binding, the government can still propose legislation to enact it. |
