要調整的不只是電價而已 (777-FT-TW-D)

要調整的不只是電價而已 (777字)

中央日報 – 2012年5月3日 上午11:10.

有關電價一次調漲的問題，在經歷一個多月的紛紛擾擾之後，馬總統日前舉行記者會，改成了分三階段調整的做法。政府在此時轉彎，威信難免受到損傷。我們認為，馬總統想要在第二個任期留下歷史定位，那需要調整的就不只是電價而已。 

我們從這一段時間整個事件的發展過程來看，至少可以舉出以下幾個重要的問題。

首先，政府不能感覺到民意。民主政治的優點之一，就是讓政府機制對民意的感覺很靈敏。政府必須了解社會有什麼問題、有什麼不滿等等。 

然而，政府在經歷一個多月的折騰之後才決定分三階段調漲，究竟是政的哪裏出了問題，只有當局者最清楚，不論是哪裏出了問題，都應該要調整了。 

其次，政府的判斷力出了問題。任何一項政策的成功，預先判斷反應，研擬對策的能力是重要關鍵。調整電價，民眾當然會反對，立委當然會反對，反對黨更是見獵心喜，因此，預先處理這些反應，或研擬因應對策，才不會慌了陣腳。我們從這一個多月來政府的反應可以看出，開闢戰場之後，卻沒有預先部署兵力、準備彈藥，更沒有研擬有效的作戰計畫。結果就是在戰場一片混亂之後，往後撤退。 

第三，政府的說服力出了問題。電價應該漲，除了民進黨那種不理性的反漲之外，大概一般人都會接受其合理性。我們要強調的是，電價調漲是有相當的合理性，亦即有說服的基礎，然而為什麼大多數人沒有被說服？直至目前為止，我們沒有看到一份說帖，能把漲價的道理講得讓人心服口服，難怪連自家立委都無法力挺。 

最後一點，或許是最重要的一點，那就是政府的態度出了問題。古人說的「理直氣壯、義正辭嚴」，卻是民主體系當權者的大忌。民主政治下的執政者應該是「理直氣和、義正辭緩」。理直，是指要做對的事，氣和，是指要態度要謙卑。理直氣壯，義正辭嚴，讓人感覺傲慢，即使理直，也讓人不願接受那個「理」。有關電價調漲，政府定在五月十五日，顯示強硬的態度，的確讓人不滿。 

馬總統要讓台灣脫胎換骨，要留歷史定位，固然要做對的事，但如何把事做對也很重要。台灣要脫胎換骨，無論如何，必須處理這幾個問題，否則台灣尚未脫胎換骨，政府就已經分筋錯骨了。【中央網路報】
