Those who claimed to be representatives of the provinces lost their temper because their wish to form the Regional Representatives Faction (FUD) was blocked by most legislators. If we read it carefully, the name \"regional representatives\" itself bears a problem.",

Those who claimed to be<br>\nrepresentatives of the provinces lost their temper because their<br>\nwish to form the Regional Representatives Faction (FUD) was<br>\nblocked by most legislators.<\/p>\n<p>If we read it carefully, the name \"regional representatives\"<br>\nitself bears a problem. The word \"representatives\" implies that<br>\nthey were not elected, but in fact they were. They claim that<br>\nthey do not represent a political party but they are in fact<br>\nbacked by political parties.<\/p>\n<p>\"Regional representatives\" has a conceptual defect. Provinces<br>\nwhich should have been represented by political parties, have<br>\nother representatives in the regional domain. Besides, in the<br>\ncurrent situation, regional representatives could sow the seeds<br>\nof disintegration.<\/p>\n<p>There are more regional representatives than members of the<br>\nReform Faction but the Assembly does not wish to group them into<br>\na faction. If that is the case, it should join other political<br>\nparty factions, because, in fact, they are also representatives<br>\nof political parties.<\/p>\n<p>This is the problem if we debate on a political fact which has<br>\na confusing concept. It seems that Indonesian politics is<br>\nenjoying unnecessary complexity.<\/p>\n<p>-- Media Indonesia, Jakarta<\/p>",
