Election for people, not parties<\/p>\n
From Media Indonesia<\/p>\n
The President in our country will later be directly elected,
\nbut this is reportedly to be conducted in (two) phases. In this
\nway, the emergence of axes of political parties and \"money
\npolitics\" may recur. Also, a rift within the House of
\nRepresentatives (DPR) is imminent.<\/p>\n
In order to prevent such developments, the presidential
\nelection should be held only once and the one winning majority of
\nvotes should become president. If the top two candidates have an
\nequal number of votes, then the DPR should elect them by a vote.
\nIn this manner, the people will be satisfied and true democracy
\nis guaranteed.<\/p>\n
Similarly, the election of House members should start from
\nmajority votes downward until the required number of legislators
\nis met. The ones elected by the people, therefore, become DPR
\nmembers regardless of the parties to which they belong. Rather
\nthan parties, it is the individuals that people want to represent
\nthem. It is thus an election by the people and for the people
\ninstead of by certain parties and for certain parties.<\/p>\n
