Political elites' maneuvers<\/p>\n
From Bali Post<\/p>\n
It is quite interesting to witness how political leaders are
\nmaneuvering through the so-called national coalition and
\ncoalition with the people, and the employment of various tricks
\nand psywars in order to achieve their goals -- serving their
\ninterests and holding power. And the winner of the contest will
\nbe determined at the second round of the presidential and vice
\npresidential election runoff on Sept. 20.<\/p>\n
However, the chance of winning the election depends largely on
\nhow clever the contesting candidates present their platform --
\nconcerning vision and mission etc. -- and in turn offer their
\nplatform to the public. The people have in fact now become
\nsmarter, and it is no longer easy to encourage them to choose any
\none particular candidate.<\/p>\n
They would consider the candidates' past track records
\ncarefully before deciding on the best choice. As they know too
\nwell, that if they choose the wrong candidates, the impact will
\nbe felt for the next five years.<\/p>\n
The conflicts of interest prevailing among the political
\nelites should be taken to mean that our democratic life is
\nbecoming increasingly more mature and providing greater
\nopportunity for the people to enjoy true democracy, in which
\nrights and responsibilities work in compliance with their
\nconscience. This sort of condition is particularly true in the
\nreform era.<\/p>\n
