Offer of coalition

Offer of coalition

From Merdeka

In the context of the development of the political bills being
deliberated at the House of Representatives (DPR)/People's
Consultative Assembly (MPR), the capability and creativity of
political parties are being tested by demands for an alternative
vision.

It is inevitable that the new political parties must work hard
to gain the people's support to place their representatives in
the DPR and MPR.

Further observation and study of the number of new political
parties has led me to believe that it will be more effective if
those parties establish a coalition in order to form a bigger
force. This is necessary because I have seen that big popular
political parties do not attract students and women. Now is the
chance for new political parties to make progress.

The majority of the Indonesian population consist of women
(50.3 percent). They have been hard hit by the crisis. It is
necessary for the nation's unity that priority be given to women
in overcoming the impact of the crisis.

To this purpose, the Aliansi Perempuan dan Kemitraan Nasional
Indonesia, is willing to establish a coalition with other
political parties to share its mission of working toward a
democratic, prosperous, just and civilized Indonesia. The
intentions are not just to gain mere power, but are supported by
common sense, clear morals and a sense of duty to the nation.
