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.
