Se ha tachado a los partidos políticos de estar controlados por una élite o casta que ha mirado más por sus propios intereses que por los intereses generales. Ha aparecido una nueva forma de hacer política y nuevos partidos cuyo objetivo declarado ha sido devolver la voz a la militancia dando por sentado que ésta había sido secuestrada por las élites endogámicas de los partidos. Este trabajo analiza si verdaderamente los partidos, cuyo poder se ha construido tradicionalmente de arriba a abajo, han asumido este cambio que comportaría que el poder fluya de abajo arriba o simplemente se ha llevado una operación cosmética que en apariencia responde a esa nueva forma de hacer política, aunque realmente el poder sigue en manos de una minoría.
Political parties have been accused of being controlled by an elite or caste that has looked more for their own interests than for general interests. A new way of doing politics and new parties has appeared whose stated objective has been to return the voice to the militancy, assuming that it had been kidnapped by the inbreeding elites of the parties. This paper analyses whether the parties, whose power has traditionally been built from top to bottom, have assumed this change that would mean that power flows from the bottom up or has simply taken a cosmetic operation that apparently responds to this new way of doing policy, although the power is still in the hands of a minority. Summary:1. THE PROBLEM: POLITICAL PARTIES’ EXCESSES. 2. THE SOLUTION: GIVE VOICE TO THE PARTIES’ MEMBERS. 2.1. Members assembly or delegates congress 2.2. Primaries: the panacea for all problems? 2.3. Election for other positions. 2.4. The participation of the members of the party in the elaboration of political documents. 2.5. The role of membership in the elaboration of the electoral lists. 2.6 Other mechanisms of direct democracy and participatory democracy. 3. FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION OF THE MEMBERS OF THE PARTY. 4. REALITY OR JUST APPEARANCE?
