Publication: Türkiye'de siyasi partilerin milletvekili adaylarını belirleme yöntemleri ve parti içi demokrasi ilişkisi
Abstract
Siyasi partiler yaklaşık 200 yıllık bir geçmişe sahip olmasına rağmen demokratik sistemin baş aktörü haline gelmiştir. Edindiği bu rol, partilerle ilgili tüm meselelere ayrı bir değer atfedilmesine neden olmuştur. Siyasi partilerin iç işleyişinde demokratik esaslara uygun davranması şeklinde tanımlanabilecek parti içi demokrasi kavramı da bu anlayıştan dolayı önem kazanmıştır. Parti içi demokrasinin sorunları, yalnızca siyasi partilerin değil, demokratik sistemin ve ülkelerin en önemli sorunları olarak görülmektedir. Siyasi partilerin milletvekili adaylarını belirleme yöntemleri de parti içi demokrasinin güncelliğini koruyan ve çözüm aranan bir problemidir. Bu problem geçmişten bugüne dek ülkemizin gündeminde sıklıkla yer etmiştir. Özellikle Siyasi Partiler Kanunu’nun değiştirilmesi tartışmaları gündeme taşındığında bahsedilen ilk konu aday belirleme yöntemleriyle ilgili olmaktadır. Türk siyasi partilerinin aday belirleme yöntemlerinin demokratik olmadığı ve bu duruma özellikle Siyasi Partiler Kanunu’nun yol açtığı belirtilmektedir. Bu sorundan hareketle çalışmada, Türkiye’de geçmişten bugüne döneminde etkili olan siyasi partilerin tüzüklerinde yer alan yöntemler ve pratikteki uygulamaları ele alınmıştır. Demokrasiye aykırı olarak tanımlanan ve şikayet edilen mevcut durumun nedenleri ortaya konularak, sorunun çözümü için fayda sağlayabilecek yöntem önerileri sunulmuştur.
