DEMOCRACY IN OUR COUNTRY

DEMOCRACY IN OUR COUNTRY


As we all know, after 1998 chaos, Indonesia started to build better democracy in every sector. Like most country in the world, Indonesian chooses their leader and senate directly and freely. Although, there are some mistakes in conducting general election, maybe it is the best way to develop our country started by develops our democracy at first.

Because of unprepared well and there are many problems about economic and government system, the first general election held in 1999, is full of cruelty, crimes and many others that arise as the side impact. However, commission of election or KPU already made good rules about how to conduct campaign, express our supporting, lot of people persist downed to street to fulfill their spirit in supporting their party. Because of that fact, lot of people felt uncomfortable. So many people avoid going anywhere because they are anxious of supporter of parties. Furthermore, many crimes happened at this time, when the campaign was held. Lot of shops and factories closed for that moment because of vandalism and grimaces of the supporter of one party.

Because of that reasons that I have mentioned above, we have to prepare next general election conscientiously and scrupulously. Firstly, I am going to talk about commission of general election rules. Commonly known, this organization is the major player in conducting general election in our country. Their responsibilities are very important, so they have to have higher authorities than all of participants. As the result, they will produce the best rules without disturbing from external side.

Secondly, I would like to give comment about security and defense of government. Although the general election is representative of free expression, people can not do everything that will make chaos. It is responsibility of government to punish who act crime, vandalism and etc. Breaking the law must be handled by strict rule although in general election time.

By the two opinions that I have mentioned above, I assure all reader that our next general election will be conducted more organized and safe.
