台北市長選舉期間,候選人蔣萬安與沈伯洋進行電視辯論,引發關於競選策略與負面攻擊的討論。
台北市長選舉,應該容得下有深度的辯論。候選人提出政策,媒體追問,市民判斷。面對不同立場的觀眾,能不能把事情說清楚,本來就是競選者應接受的考驗。
沈富雄卻把沈伯洋接受不同立場媒體專訪、爭取中間選民的行動,解讀成精心安排的人設翻轉,甚至要求蔣萬安在辯論中將他「從神壇拉下來」。這種說法,究竟要指出沈伯洋哪項政策有問題,還是只要他不再受到歡迎,就算成功?候選人安排專訪,會選擇受眾,也會準備回答。這有什麼不對?蔣萬安接受訪問,也不可能毫無策略。若沈伯洋說錯了,指出錯誤;若政策不可行,提出反證。不能因為對手回答得好、觀眾願意聽,就把這一切解釋成必須拆穿的包裝。沈富雄的論述,把選戰帶進一個難以理性討論的圈套。沈伯洋態度誠懇,可以被說成刻意表演;面對攻擊保持笑容,又可以被說成善於偽裝。當一個人的任何反應,都能被解釋成心機,評論便失去接受事實檢驗的可能。
連趙少康都曾回應,節目會邀請不同陣營的候選人,回答得好不好,應由觀眾判斷。這個道理並不複雜:媒體讓候選人說話,觀眾才有機會自己認識他。不能只因為對手可能因此增加支持,就認為主持人幫錯了忙。沈富雄反覆警告蔣萬安選情危急,透露的是他對藍營失去主導權的不安。這還不能直接證明蔣萬安本人的心理狀態,卻已把一道焦慮的選擇題推到蔣面前:究竟要靠市政表現與政策說服選民,還是把競選重心放在破壞對手形象?對一位爭取連任的市長而言,最有分量的回答,應該是任內做了什麼,以及哪些問題還沒處理好。
若隨著對手受到注意,回應愈來愈依賴人格標籤,選民自然會感受到防守的急迫。原本溫和的形象,也會因攻擊方式而受到檢驗。負面競選並非全無價值。
有證據的失職揭露、對政策矛盾的追問,都能協助選民判斷。但「不是善類」這類評語,沒有交代具體事實,留下的只是對人格的懷疑。國外研究也沒有支持「攻擊愈狠,愈容易勝選」的簡單公式。Lau等人的統合分析發現,負面訊息較容易被記住,卻未必能增加選票,還可能小幅削弱政治信任。攻擊者得到聲量,不等於得到認同。
這也是沈伯洋近期應對值得肯定的地方。至少在面對「洋流是下流」這次辱罵時,他沒有跟著回罵,而是引用《道德經》的「大國者下流」,把話題接回水流與傾聽。這句話出自《道德經》第六十一章,以江河下游匯聚眾流,說明居下與謙讓的道理。沈伯洋將它延伸到政治參與,讓一句原本用來羞辱人的話,有了繼續討論的空間。
「上流」與「下流」,也因此值得重新想一想。
如果上流只是身分、家世與社會地位,那是外在條件。公共人物的修養,仍要看他如何對待批評者,尤其是如何對待沒有權勢、甚至正在辱罵他的普通人。
沈伯洋這次回應的可貴,在於他沒有反過來貶低那位支持者。對方不支持他,仍是他若當選後必須服務的市民。候選人能否記得這件事,比回嘴是否痛快,更值得選民注意。因此,若要說這次回應顯出了他的「上流」,我願意把它理解為言行有分寸。但我們也不必把這個詞再拿來替兩群選民分高下。肯定沈伯洋的風度,正是因為他沒有接受那套以羞辱區分人的方式。
這次交鋒還不足以預告選舉結果,也不能單靠一句古文判定治理能力。但它提供了一個可以觀察的片刻:受到冒犯時,一位候選人如何回答?他讓衝突繼續升高,還是保留對話的可能?台北市尤其適合把這個問題談深。這座城市有豐富的教育資源,也有多元媒體與公共討論的條件。市民有能力分辨政策批評和人格羞辱,也有理由要求候選人提出更好的論述。
所謂城市的水準,就表現在我們願意聽什麼、追問什麼。對沈伯洋,可以追問他的政策財源與執行方法;對蔣萬安,可以檢驗他的施政成果與未竟責任。雙方都應接受同樣嚴格的標準。沈富雄若認為沈伯洋不值得信任,就請提出足以讓市民判斷的事證。只要求把他拉下神壇,無法回答台北未來要怎麼治理。沈伯洋這次以克制回應辱罵,值得肯定。接下來,台北需要的是讓這樣的討論繼續往政策走,讓候選人把話說清楚,也讓市民把問題問到底。
