論規制地方議會藐視權之可行性與必要性

藐視議會罪源起17世紀的英國下議院，主要是為強化議會之立法權，其後被美、日等國引用，藐視議會是指妨礙議員或議會工作人員履行職責，通常是涉及妨礙議會運作之罪行。議會為民意機關，議會首要任務即監督政府行政之責，基於權力分立制衡之原則，以防止權力集中於政府之行政權。民主國家地方議會行使監督行政權，政黨運作在其中扮演相當重要角色，所仰賴之手段包含立法、預算審查、質詢、調查聽證、舉行公聽會、文件調閱及行政命令審查等權。
民主國家政黨政治的運作原理，強調議會各政黨自主性與代表性，舉凡有關議會議程、政策的擬議、協調與攻防等問題，都由議會黨團來統籌運作處理。本文探討規制地方議會藐視懲戒權之可行性與必要性，先定義地方議會之藐視罪，並以政黨政治下一致政府及分立政府兩種模式探究藐視地方議會，分析議會對於藐視罪懲戒權之程序與方式，以政黨政治探究規制地方議會藐視懲戒權可行性與必要性，以供各界參考。
