Recalling undemocratic

Recalling undemocratic

From Sinar Pagi

Sinar Pagi published an article entitled Mega stresses no recalling for PDI. The paper also said that the Chairperson of Indonesian Democratic Party (PDI), Megawati, will issue an instruction to the effect that PDI will not recall its members from the Legislative Bodies. This shows that Mega has been mature in making decision.

Recalling a member indicates incapability of the party concerned to anticipate the aspiration of its members. The members who criticize the government are of the opinion that some policies of the government can be disadvantageous to the country. And so the recalling system is contradictory to the Pancasila democracy.
