党的十八大报告强调,要“积极发展党内民主,增强党的创造活力”。党内民主是党的生命。扩大党内民主是武警边防部队深化创建模范党组织活动的重点课题之一,实践中应注意把握三个问题。要尊重党员主体地位。党章明确规定,党员享有对党的工作提出建议和倡议的权利,享有在党的会议上有根据地批评党的任何组织和任何党员的权利。现实中,许多党员忽略了党章赋予的权利,参与党内民主和关注党内具体事务的热情不高、主动性不强。有的认为参与党内事务是上级机关和领导干部的事,不愿、不敢反映和表达自己的真实意见;有的过分强调军人服从观念,缺乏党内平等意识,在党内生活中习惯于“服从命令、听从指挥”。增强党员主体意识、发挥党员主体作用,既要保障党员的知情权、参与权、选举权、监督权, The report of the 18th CPC National Congress emphasized that we should “actively develop inner-party democracy and enhance the party’s creative vitality.” Inner-party democracy is the life of the party.

To enhance the awareness of the main body of party members and the role of party members as the main body, it is necessary to safeguard the rights of members to information, participation, voting, supervisory power,
