Election, Envelopes knocking The Door
As an affirmation of the democratic
state that is the General elections to elect representatives who will sit in
the legislative. Triggered by the spirit of its predecessors has become Qibla
in choosing representatives once every 5 years. This election is part of a
Country effort to build a better country than before. That's a bit of meaning
elections perceived by the author as an Indonesian citizen.
Democratic party which was greeted by
some communities in Indonesia, all citizen who live in Indonesia and abroad.
High expectations and enthusiasm to participate in the selection of candidates
who will carry the fate of this nation will be like what, it could be changed
to be better, or perhaps the opposite.
As one of the main points to be
concerned by candidate is fully supported by the community. Support through
ballots in elections that determine whether or not a candidate has the right to
fill the legislative seat. That's what behind the existence of unique fenomena
that occurred in the community as a result of the efforts follow a candidate to
be able to get as many votes as possible in elections.
Money politics, the term cool in the
world of politics. The author here just to share stories directly experienced
significantly in the day of election. Envelopes knocking on the door in the
general election representatives. Envelope-door outstanding citizens in each of
these diverse values ranging from 20 thousand to 50 thousand rupiah. So, you
could say with a family consisting of 4 people, so they can raise funds of at least 80
thousand from one candidate in election. Can you imagine how many candidates
follow in election ?. Fantastic, isn’t
it?? Mechanism of giving this envelope also was interesting, there were directly
given by a candidate, a successful team or through an influential figure in the
community. Their goal were the same, namely that citizens could envelope
recipients to vote against the candidate.
There are 3 classifications has been
given the author for the envelope
recipients. The first category is the envelope recipients have been fooled, the
envelope recipients have fool and the envelope recipients is consciously. The first category is the
envelope recipient have been fooled,
it’s mean a recipient of an
envelope in election he received and follow what is desired by the giver
envelope, then in this case the receiver has been fooled because they have
swapped the fate of the nation in the next 5 years with an envelope. The
second are those who accidentally received an envelope, but they did not vote
in accordance with what is desired by the giver envelope, "fool" the
term because he "consciously" aware that his voice in an election determines
the fate of the nation. The last are those who are aware that when he received
the envelope from giver of envelope they think it also mean we are supporting
the first step of candidate to corrupt. What
is going on with our country if the seats of legislative will be filled by
corruptors.
In
conclusion the authors suggest that we are as a part of a nation we should
support the efforts made by government to improve the country through an
election as democratic party.
