Therefore, a engineeringsound or engineering (not as part of manipulation) is with a simultaneous election system. Where the DPR election is synchronized with the presidential election.
This requires the behavior of voters to be designed, in which they will choose a political party that also promotes or offers presidential candidate The selection.
“But the change to concurrent election has not been followed by consistency in nominations,” he said.
Moreover, says Titi, we have created this anomaly because we have maintained the threshold for presidential and vice-presidential appointments.
As stated in article 222 of law number 7 of 2017 which reads, the presidential nomination threshold (presidential threshold) as much as obtaining at least 20% of the total number of seats in the DPR or obtaining 25% of the valid votes nationwide.
Titi said that such a system always generates arguments that make the presidential nomination depend on the parliamentary power that is characteristic of a parliamentary system.
“Therefore, due to the pragmatism of the elite, in the end, the system that we produce are anomalies of practice that we should be able to use to improve our political situation and our government,” he said.
