The united front is an important magic weapon for our party to win the cause of revolution, construction and reform. It is also an important magic weapon for our party to govern and rejuvenate the country. It is related to the overall situation of national reform, development, stability and unification. With the development of the new situation, the grassroots united front has shown many new characteristics and has also faced many new problems. Doing a good job in grassroots united front work has become inevitable in the development of the situation. 1. New characteristics of grassroots united front work under the new situation

1. Transformation from "religious" to "pragmatic". In the past, the United Front Department was considered a retreat department, and United Front work was “important in words but secondary in execution.” Since the 20th National United Front Work Conference, grassroots united front work, under the guidance of superior united front departments, has been pragmatic and innovative based on the actual situation of grassroots united front work, combining political education guidance and services for united front members, and combining the advantages of united front with the promotion of development Combined with the construction of new rural areas, it has gradually established a new "pragmatic" image of grassroots united front work and changed the "pragmatic" situation of united front work.

2. Development from "small united front" to "grand united front". Entering a new stage in the new century, new changes have taken place in the field of grassroots united front work, and three developments have been achieved: the field of united front work has developed from the political field to the economy, science and technology, culture, education, society and other fields; the way of united front work has evolved from winning the hearts and minds of the people , gather strength to exert advantages and serve the overall economic and social development; the content of the united front work has developed from traditional fields such as democratic parties, non-party cadres, ethnic groups and religions to new fields such as new social classes. 3. Extend from community to residential area. In accordance with the principle of "easy to organize and manage, easy to participate in activities, and easy to play a role", the community united front work is extended to the community, and gradually establishes and improves a "vertical to the end, horizontal to the edge" community united front work network covering the entire community. And actively promoted the system with the street party branch as the core and with the community residents' committee, the community owners' committee, and the district's construction unit as members to jointly negotiate community united front affairs, jointly utilize community resources, and jointly carry out The "trinity" working model of community service and community jointly creates a harmonious community. 4. Transform from "single" to "mass". In order to change the situation in which the united front work is weak and weak, departments at all levels have made full use of newspapers, television, the Internet and other media to increase the external publicity of the united front work. While strengthening the policy and theoretical study of United Front members, we also actively guide them to contribute to socialist construction by participating in and carrying out various social activities. At the same time, we also use farms and street (community) associations as platforms to vigorously strengthen contacts with non-public sector economic figures and celebrities abroad to make the "return economy" bigger and stronger, changing the previous concept of relying solely on the United Front Department to carry out work. , establishing the awareness that party committees at all levels attach importance to it, the government supports it, the United Front Work Department takes the lead, departments cooperate, and the whole society actively participates. 2. Analysis of new problems and causes faced by grassroots united front work under the new situation

1. The concept of united front is weak. First, the ideological understanding of leading cadres is not in place. A small number of cadres have a weak concept of united front work, do not pay attention to united front work, pay little attention to united front work, and care little about united front work. They always think that united front work occupies a secondary and subordinate position in political and social life, and they are pragmatic and unreliable. none. Second, the members of the United Front do not have adequate ideological understanding. Some United Front members have low awareness of participation, poor ability to participate in and discuss politics, lack the awareness of active learning, and are not familiar with or understand the policies and regulations of the United Front, let alone enthusiasm and investment in United Front work. Third, people in society do not have adequate ideological understanding. Due to insufficient propaganda work, most people in society do not understand the United Front work and its goals and tasks. They believe that it does not matter whether the United Front work is grasped or not. They do not truly understand the important role of the United Front work in promoting economic development and maintaining stability. 2. The mechanism is not smooth. First, staffing is difficult. Due to staffing limitations, there is almost no full-time United Front committee member at the work station. Basically, they have multiple jobs, and most of the United Front staff are part-time. As a result, the United Front staff are dispersed and it is difficult to carry out various tasks in depth. Second, work coordination is difficult. In order to facilitate the coordination of work at the grassroots level, almost all United Front work departments have established United Front Work Leading Groups. However, these organizations are often relatively scattered and formal, and cannot truly play their role. Third, it is difficult to improve the system. In terms of assessment of united front work at the grassroots level, in addition to assessing several basic tasks, united front work has not been regarded as an important basis for selecting and appointing leading cadres like some tasks, and united front work has not really been put on an important agenda. 3. The team building is not refined enough.

First, work initiative has not been fully utilized. Due to insufficient understanding of the importance of united front work at the grassroots level, daily work is limited to completing various tasks assigned by superiors. They are often satisfied with dealing with superficial work and do not fully mobilize their enthusiasm and initiative to study united front work in depth. Second, there is a lack of innovative carriers in work. Most of the united front cadres in farms and communities feel that their work is often in a passive state, and it is difficult to design and arrange various continuous and progressive activities, which affects the overall effectiveness of their work. Third, there is still a lack of practical measures in service development. The guiding ideology of focusing on united front work around the economy and promoting the economy around united front work is still unclear. The united front work still lacks practical ideas on how to more effectively serve local economic construction and serve the construction of new rural areas. 4. Single working method. First, there is an inaccurate grasp of the situation of grassroots united front work under the new situation. Since the reform and opening up, there have been more and more targets for united front work at the grassroots level, and new changes have occurred in the internal composition. New social classes are increasingly formed, members of democratic parties have increased year by year, the ranks of non-party intellectuals have continued to expand, and a large number of religious figures and believers have The number of "triple compatriots" and their relatives is increasing, etc. These have become new topics in the united front work. Due to serious thinking such as arranging tasks by superiors at the grassroots level and relying on help and support from superiors, it is difficult to carry out the work smoothly. Second, the professional level of united front cadres is not high. The employment situation of some grassroots staff changes frequently. In addition, some united front cadres do not pay attention to strengthening their own learning. They often learn whatever they need and do not have a deep grasp of united front knowledge. The third is the lack of innovative spirit. As there are more and more targets for united front work at the grassroots level, there is a lack of work experience in new strata and new areas of united front work, a lack of exploration spirit, insufficient research on new issues, uncertainty about new situations, and a general lack of experience and methods for doing a good job in united front work. . 5. Key issues are highlighted. First, funding is not guaranteed. United front work is a job of making friends, a job of winning people's hearts and gathering strength. It has its own particularity and requires a certain amount of financial support to ensure the smooth development of all tasks. However, the current grass-roots united front departments have seriously insufficient funds to carry out united front work. They even do not have special working funds, making it difficult to maintain normal work and office expenses. Second, the united front work in the non-public economic field needs to be further strengthened. With the continuous emergence of new social classes and interest groups, the space for united front work in the non-public economic field has further expanded. How to give full play to the grassroots party (work) committees and how to do a good job in the work of non-public economic representatives remains to be further explored. . Third, the problem of building a team of non-party cadres needs to be further resolved. Building a team of non-party cadres is a long-term task of the united front work. However, the training and deployment of non-party cadres at the grassroots level is not optimistic. There are still vacancies of non-party cadres and gaps in the construction of reserve cadres. Whether it is the current situation of the non-party cadre team, or the policies, measures, and working mechanisms, they have seriously restricted the construction of the non-party cadre team. 3. Countermeasures and suggestions for solving existing problems in grassroots united front work under the new situation

Faced with the outstanding problems existing in grassroots united front work, we must further clarify the status of grassroots united front work, strengthen and standardize the management of grassroots united front work , unify understanding, improve mechanisms, innovate methods, and continuously serve economic and social development. 1. The support point should be placed on unified ideological understanding. First, we need to increase publicity efforts. Doing a good job in publicizing the party's united front principles and policies is the prerequisite for doing a good job in united front work at the grassroots level. We must fully understand the importance of united front work and include this on the agenda of the grassroots party (work) committee. In communities and work stations, we must make full use of distance education networks, blackboard newspapers, radio and other channels to actively publicize the traditional war work. We must do a good job in publicizing the united front in a situation where the masses are happy to see and hear; in departments, we must make full use of study days to do a good job Promote the United Front principles and policies and strive for leadership’s attention and support for the United Front work. The second is to improve the understanding of the main leaders of the united front work. The main leaders should take the lead in participating in important activities of the united front and implement the united front policy in an exemplary manner. It is necessary to improve the system of contact and friendship between the main leaders of the party and government and the targets of the united front, negotiate with the targets of the united front on issues, and actively listen to opinions. It is necessary to allocate some funds from the finance as special funds for united front work to ensure the smooth development of united front work. It is necessary to proactively grasp the direction of united front work, improve leadership and control capabilities, coordinate complex relationships at the grassroots level, resolve outstanding conflicts at the grassroots level, and gather new forces at the grassroots level to form a united front network pattern with linked farms and work stations. It is necessary to attach great importance to the training, education, exchange and use of grassroots united front cadres and non-party cadres, and constantly optimize the structure of the cadre team. 2. The key point should be to strengthen team building.

The first is to improve the overall quality of the united front cadres. It is necessary to guide united front cadres to strengthen their study of united front principles, policies and related business knowledge as well as new knowledge, improve their self-cultivation, and enhance their sensitivity in analyzing new situations and new issues arising in grassroots united front work under the new situation. From the overall and political perspective, Think deeply about and grasp the regularity of united front work. We must dare to break through ideological "bottlenecks" and closely integrate station unification work with economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, social construction and ecological construction. The second is to strengthen the training of non-party cadres. We must attach great importance to the training, selection, arrangement and use of non-party cadres. For non-Party cadres, we must conscientiously implement the policy of "full trust in politics, free use of work, and care and concern in life", improve the selection and appointment system for non-Party cadres, insist on giving priority to non-Party cadres under the same conditions, and create a relaxed environment for them. , harmonious working and living environment. 3. The fundamental focus should be on innovation mechanisms and systems. The first is to innovate the work pattern and make progress in linking up and down. It is necessary to break the traditional practice of "working alone" of the United Front Department, properly handle the relationship between the overall situation and the local area, and between the party and outside the party, form a work pattern of overall advancement and linkage between the top and bottom, and strive to build a system where the whole party attaches importance to support and the whole society participates The unified front pattern. The second is to innovate assessment methods and make achievements in scientific layout. It is necessary to implement regular assessments, adopt regular random assessment methods, regular spot checks, supervision and surveys, etc., to strengthen the tracking and assessment of the performance of united front cadres. It is necessary to implement the post responsibility system assessment, combine the assessment results with the use of cadres, connect with the education and management of cadres, and link with the rewards and punishments of cadres, so that the virtual tasks of the united front work can be realized and the soft indicators can be hardened. The third is to innovate the working mechanism and make progress in overall planning and coordination. It is necessary to conduct in-depth research on the characteristics and patterns of united front work in various fields, and explore the establishment of a standardized, orderly, integrated, scientific and efficient work operation mechanism. Establish and improve a socialized operating mechanism for united front work, mobilize forces from all walks of life, coordinate work in the political, economic, cultural and social fields, and promote the scientific and innovative development of united front work. 4. We should focus on promoting scientific innovation. In the field of united front work on farms, work should focus on arranging united front model points and cultivating work station demonstration points. Select 1-2 work stations with good work foundation as united front work model construction points to help form a scientific, practical, complete and efficient institutional system, and promote the standardization, regularization and institutionalization of farm united front work. In the field of community united front work, we must focus on community united front work. Integrate and make good use of various resources in the community, and regularly organize United Front people in the community to carry out activities such as "Staff Forum", "United Front Member Council", "Knowing the Social Situation, Providing Good Strategies, and Making Contributions" to fully mobilize the interests of United Front people in the community. We must be proactive, give full play to the advantages of the united front's talent pool and extensive connections, organize and coordinate various forces, complement each other's advantages, keep pace with the times, establish models and promote experience, and strive to build the brand and characteristics of the community's united front work, and serve as a foundation for reform and development. Develop and stabilize services. In the non-public economic field, work should focus on party building in non-public economic organizations. It is necessary to actively carry out party building work in non-public economic organizations, strengthen and improve party building, guide non-public economic organizations to actively play the role of demonstration and leadership, unity and cohesion, and promote the healthy development of the non-public economy. At the same time, it is necessary to further intensify communication and contact with non-public economic representatives, better understand the ideological status of non-public economic representatives, and actively play the role of non-public economic representatives in participating in and discussing politics. Give full play to the role of grassroots chambers of commerce and encourage non-public economic people to actively participate in the "glorious cause" and farm construction. 5. We must focus on serving economic development. The first is to focus on the service center and serve as an "accelerator" for economic development. The first is to focus on innovative mechanisms and serve as a "booster" for deepening reform. It is necessary to give full play to the important role of the united front in participating in government affairs and democratic supervision, and encourage grassroots united front members to conduct investigations and research on deepening reforms, make suggestions and suggestions, closely connect with reality, broaden their thinking, seize the characteristics of united front work, cultivate models, and better Help farms make legal decisions. The second is to focus on building harmony and serve as a "voltage stabilizer" for social stability. Workstations and streets with religious sites must conscientiously publicize and implement the "Regulations on Religious Affairs" to guide religion to adapt to socialist society. It is necessary to support religious groups in strengthening their own construction, do a good job in the institutionalized and standardized management of religious groups and religious activity venues, and conscientiously do a good job in maintaining stability in the ethnic and religious fields to ensure harmony among ethnic and religious circles and overall social and political stability.
