The leadership of the Communist Party of China is the most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and it is also the fundamental guarantee for the healthy and orderly development of socialist consultative democracy.

Upholding and strengthening the party's overall leadership is conducive to permeating the requirements of consultative democracy in all fields and aspects of party and state building, building the greatest consensus, forming a strong joint force, effectively preventing deliberations without making a decision and not taking action, ensuring that consultations are organized, implemented step by step, and carried out in a planned manner, and promoting the people's effective management of state affairs, economic and cultural undertakings, and social affairs in accordance with the law.

Stay on the right track. To develop socialist consultative democracy, we must always adhere to the organic unity of the party's leadership, the people being the masters of the country, and governing the country according to law, unswervingly follow the path of socialist political development with Chinese characteristics, and never copy the Western political model.

We should give full play to the party's role as the core of leadership in controlling the overall situation and coordinating all parties, resolutely implement the system of democratic centralism, and not weaken the party's leadership and authority or abandon the party's leadership responsibility just because we engage in consultative democracy.

Incorporate consultative democracy into the work arrangements and agendas of Party committees, unify leadership, planning, and deployment, and ensure that all consultation activities are carried out in an organized manner, implemented step by step, and carried out in a planned manner.

Leading cadres at all levels have taken the lead in practicing consultative democracy, and are good at strengthening and improving the party's leadership through promoting consultative democracy.

Improve the implementation mechanism. Party committees at all levels are to formulate annual consultation plans on the basis of doing a good job of investigation and research and soliciting opinions on the basis of extensive solicitation of opinions, make overall arrangements for consultation activities, establish and improve various consultation methods such as proposals, meetings, discussions, argumentations, hearings, public announcements, assessments, consultations, and networks, so as to continuously improve the scientificity and effectiveness of consultative democracy.

Under the leadership of the party, it is necessary to carry out extensive consultations on major issues of economic and social development and practical issues involving the vital interests of the masses, and persist in holding consultations before and during decision-making.

Further improve mechanisms for adopting, implementing, and giving feedback on the results of consultations, explore the establishment of supervision and evaluation mechanisms, guide and urge cadres at all levels to develop the good habit of consulting more when there is something to do, more when encountering problems, and more consultation on doing things, and consciously promote the construction of consultative democracy.

Encourage exploration and innovation. Respect the status of the people as the main body, respect the initiative of the masses, closely rely on the people to promote consultative democracy, and attract the people to participate in consultative democracy to the greatest extent.

Support all localities to conduct extensive consultations in light of actual conditions, through various channels, channels, and methods, to continuously accumulate and refine practical experience, and to upgrade some of these mature good experiences and good practices to institutional norms in a timely manner.

Persist in being problem-oriented, discover new situations and solve new problems in a timely manner, continuously deepen the understanding of laws, and accelerate the construction of a scientific and perfect theoretical system of socialist consultative democracy.

It is necessary to create a good atmosphere, advocate the spirit of consultative democracy, cultivate a culture of consultative democracy, and make everyone willing to tell the truth, tell the truth, and speak from the heart, so as to form a political situation in which there is both centralism and democracy, discipline and freedom, unity of will, and personal comfort, liveliness, and liveliness.
