Abstract: Grassroots consultative democracy opens up a new path for democracy at the local level,creates a new pattern for grassroots social governance,and enhances political legitimacy of grassroots Party and government.However,it is also confronted with such problems as position,motive force of development,way of subject participation,and representative relationship.Should it be a transient policy or an essential procedure? Individual or systematic? To get everyone involved or only the representatives? Cooperative or confronting? To solve these problems,it is necessary to make clear its position both in theory and law,build up healthy working mechanism,deepen political reforms,and set up new channels for better communication between the NPC members and public representatives.

Key words: consultative democracy, grassroots, public representatives, way of participation
