Optimism, pessimism, skepticism and other reactions have been shown towards the cabinet's composition. Regardless the mixed reactions, the composition shows political bargaining between Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) and some parties. Most of the ministers in the cabinet were recommended by political parties, big national organizations and perhaps even international organizations. Some have pressed strongly to put their people in the cabinet. If the people figured strongly during the campaign and presidential election, the power has moved to political parties. In a "one man one vote" general election, SBY needed public support to be elected as a president. After being president-elect, support from political parties is necessary for him to run the government and to bring parliamentary support for his presidency. SBY also badly needs support from international organizations and businesses. In this case, he has to accommodate the "taste" of international financial organizations such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank as well as the domestic Indonesian Chamber of Commerce (Kadin) to put certain persons as economic ministers. In addition, the role of mass organizations like the Nahdatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah is needed since these organizations could influence and control public opinion significantly. Considering real political economy condition, shift from "the coalition with the people" -as has been reiterated many times by SBY in the campaign trail - to "coalition with the parties" is an unavoidable thing. It is interesting to see how it could have happened and how this shift will impact the performance of the current government. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini!
