On September 3, 2022, the price of subsidized fuel (pertalite and diesel) increased. This was determined through a Presidential Regulation on the grounds of the fluctuations in world crude oil prices, plus data showing that the distribution of subsidized fuel which was previously enjoyed by 70 percent was enjoyed by the wealthy, so it was deemed not right on target. This triggered various reactions from the people who were directly affected by the increase in fuel prices. The increase of fuel prices has the potential to increase the unemployment rate which will certainly increase the level of poverty in Indonesia. Because of that, a big question is the extent to which the existence of political parties as a medium for representing the people's voice to express the people's counter attitude to the increase in fuel prices.
 The method used in this study is a qualitative research method. This research will produce descriptive data in the form of writing. Qualitative descriptive research is research that tries to describe a phenomenon that occurs in the field. Furthermore, the research technique used in this paper is literature study, namely by researching and understanding books, documents or other written sources that are relevant to the study being raised.
 The results of this study indicate that the function of political parties as a function of political communication has not run optimally. This is evidenced by the majority of the existing political parties not fully voicing the public's contra stance on the increase of fuel prices. Indeed, with this political communication function, all political parties are willing and able to voice the attitudes of the public. This is a manifestation of the people's representation projected by the existence of political parties that are pro to the people.

Participation of Political Parties in Local Governments of Nepal

The success and failure of the political economy depend on the structure and function of political parties. The agenda of development in a democratic country is set and met by ruling political parties. Political parties are dynamic forces to mobilize mass for achieving common agendas. Political parties play an effective and efficient role in political socialization of citizens. In Nepal, political parties are mostly capable of creating public awareness about the common concern. Political parties produce both positive and negative impacts on all dimensions of society in Nepal. To analyze the status of political parties in the local governance of Nepal, and to explore their role, strengths and weaknesses in the local development of Nepal, this article is prepared with the title ‘Participation of political parties on local level government in Nepal”. It is mainly based on the secondary data of the election commission of Nepal. Information regarding objectives was collected through various search engines by a simple literature review. The status of political parties is found unequal at the local level of government in Nepal. Nepali congress party occupies the first position followed by CPN-UML and CPN-Maoist respectively in second and third positions. Local-level Governments must play effective roles to solve the day-to-day immediate problem of people. The joint efforts of all political parties are mandatory to meet the immediate requirement of local people through the effective mechanism of service delivery. The role and responsibility of political parties are vital to fulfilling gaps between service consumers and providers. Lack of coordination, unhealthy competition, and lack of transparency in political parties are notable issues to address without delay. To meet the common concern of Nepalese people regarding their local issues, joint efforts of all political parties are mandatory.

Political parties' functions, rights, and obligations have been outlined in Law Number 2 of 2011 concerning Political Parties. The function of political parties is regulated in 11. One of the functions related to the context that we are talking about is Article 11, point 2 subpoint (a), which states that political parties function as a means of: "Increasing the political participation of members and the community to organize political and governmental activities." In addition, the role of the community, especially the laborers, in rejecting Indonesia's Omnibus Law (Law No. 11 of 2020 on Job Creation) is important for the suitability of government policies. It is stated in Presidential Regulation Number 68 of 2005 concerning Procedures for Preparing Draft Laws, Draft Government Regulations in Lieu of Laws, Draft Government Regulations, and Draft Presidential Regulations, particularly in Chapter VIII Article 41.

Contestious dynamics of politics that occurred in the singular election

This paper explores the contestious dynamics of politics that occurred in the Singular Election. We examine how in a feud of actors involved interacting dynamically with each other. The phenomenon of a single candidate is considered as an anomaly in the function of political parties which appears as a form of pragmatism in addressing pairs of candidates which are electable too strong. The strategy adopted by political parties in the lead-up to the elections by forming a coalition became the easiest strategy to achieve victory in a multiparty political system. There are two approaches in the perspective of the rational choice theory that can explain the reasons for political parties to do coalitions, namely office-seeking and policy-seeking. The characteristics of the office-seeking coalition model are fluid, not permanent. This justifies a practical political adage that states that in politics there are no eternal friends or enemies, there are eternal interests. In the context of democratic coalitions that are built with office-seeking motives are considered very detrimental to the constituents. Political parties are considered to deny the constituents' trust by changing the alignments of coalitions that have the same platform to coalitions that have different platforms.

A Republic of Parties? Constitution-making in Italy through the Lenses of the Constitutional Regime

This chapter’s main objective is to reconstruct the patterns of formation and development of the Italian constitutional order post World-War II. The intention is to track whether there is an ‘Italian’ way to constitution-making and to assess, in comparative constitutional terms, to which family it belongs. In order to provide some background, a methodological engagement with Bruce Ackerman’s work and the American School of development will kick off the chapter. Hence, the basic unit of constitutional regime will be adopted and the focus will be, mostly, on the function of political parties. Then a brief reconstruction of the pre-1948 constitution-making experiences will be provided, with particular attention paid to the pathway of transformation adopted by the Fascist Party. In sections 3 and 4, the constituent phase of the republican constitution and its development in the following decades will be tracked by emphasising the role of political parties. The intention is to prove that this experience was an instantiation of a revolutionary type of constitution-making. In section 5, an hypothesis about the constitutional relevance of recent informal mutation (i.e., non-revolutionary) will be put forward.

The Legal Politics of Recall Right of Political Parties Relevance with the System of Popular Sovereignty In Dynamics of the Constitution of Indonesia

The existence of regulation of recall rights of political parties as regulated in Law No. 17 of 2014 and Law No. 2 of 2008 bring a great influence on the position of legislative members. Based on these rules, legislators may be dismissed from their positions if proposed by Political Party. This certainly brings a polemic for the people as the sovereign owner, who have chosen their representatives through the electoral process, but when chosen representatives of the people can be dismissed from his position by a political parties through the mechanism of the right of recall. This research was done by doctrinal method approach as well as the use of the statute, historical, and conceptual approach. This results showed that the legal politics of recall right of political parties is actually only used as an instrument of the political parties in controlling its members in parliament in order to always adhere to the party's policy direction. This makes the recall right political party is legal products that characterized conservative or orthodox. The existence of a political party's recall rights order gives a great authority to the political parties to negate the result of the people's choice as the holder of sovereignty for the sake of the political party. The function of political parties as a means of political recruitment in the process of filling political office in this case as members of the legislature, should have been completed after the people chose their representatives through electoral mechanisms. Therefore, it is necessary for the reconstruction of the ideal and relevant recall rights arrangement to the people's sovereignty.

Combining the best of both worlds? Party members and citizens’ initiatives in Belgium

ABSTRACT The linkage function of political parties is put under pressure the last few decades (testified by increased electoral volatility and decline in party membership). As a result, it is assumed that citizens increasingly seek for other forms of participation, especially in their own neighborhood. These so-called ‘citizen initiatives’ are not organized by the political elite and they have no (formal) affiliations with political parties. But this ‘transformation thesis’ is questioned by the ‘pluralization thesis’ that assumes that party members combine different types of participation (including engagement in citizen initiatives). In this paper, we estimate whether party members are pursuing their goals (also) with other means than party membership, or whether citizen initiatives constitute a complete distinct form of participation. In addition, we investigate which factors at the individual (e.g. resources) and party level (e.g. ideology) correlate with participation behaviour. We rely on data gathered in recent party member surveys in five Belgian political parties. We find that that distinctions between types of participation are less clear-cut than often assumed, and that a considerable number of citizens act as ‘civic omnivores’ combining different types of participation (supporting the pluralization thesis). This is especially true for members of green parties.

DESAIN PENGELOLAAN KEUANGAN PARTAI POLITIK BERBASIS DEMOKRASI MENUJU KEMANDIRIAN PARTAI POLITIK

This article discussed fundamental issues about the financial management of political parties and provided a solution to the problem through a design for the financial management of democratic political parties. The method used a conceptual approach. The results showed that the negative impacts that occur when financial management was bad would affect its contribution to the people. What’s more when political parties have limitations in terms of structural and financial. Structural limitations were characterized by weak networks of work and organizations and oligarchic leadership. While financial limitations were characterized by political party financial dependence on donors so that political parties tend to rank the interests of contributors and forget the interests of the community. Large donors occupy strategic positions in the management of political parties or even become determinants of political party policies. For this reason, a political party financial management was needed in a democratic way and the independence of political parties becomes a necessity to realize the role and function of political parties.

NEW MEDIAAND DEMOCRATIC CULTURE: A STUDY OF INDONESIA'S ANTI-GRAFT 'FACEBOOK MOVEMENT' 2009 AS THE NEW 'NON-PARTY' POLITICS IN INDONESIA

Internet or Social Network Site is a new media facilitating collective action and a public sphere for political and social interactions. The Internet is not only a big marketplace. Blogs, wikis and other social networking sites provide a technological basis for grassroots action to coordinate and communicate. Movement of 1,000,000 Facebookers Supporting Chandra Hamzah and Bibit Samad Riyanto in Indonesia 2009, was launched after the two suspended Corruption Eradication Commission (KFK) officers were arrested on suspicion of abuse of power. This, become an interesting new phenomenon in Indonesia. It is an example of wide spread popular support for the anti corruption leaders and the anti graft movement. My paper aims to explore the development of social media in Indonesia and its contribution to implementation of transparency and anti graft movement. Particularly, the paper will identify the role of Facebook in establishing a non political party, online parliament and the future of it in Indonesia as the democratic moslem country in the world. Many active discussions has been generated along 2000s on the topic of social media and its effect on the formation and mobilization of social and political movement. For example, the emergence of the Coffee Party in US. Since 2009, Facebook in Indonesia has played an important role in politics and its importance was first noticed by KPK case. Since then there has been growth in the role of Facebook in political movements. The power of civil society in the form of Facebookers replaces democratic checks and balance which in the real world should be the function of political parties in Indonesian parliament.

Gender, European Integration and Candidate Recruitment: The European Parliament Elections in the New EU Member States

The paper investigates women's representation in the European Parliament delegations of the new member states by bringing together three distinct strands of scholarship: the second-order elections model, feminist theories of candidate recruitment and the literature on party positions on European integration. It tests three hypotheses explaining women's selection as candidates in European elections: the impact of electoral systems; the impact of political parties’ left–right placement and the impact of party positions on European integration. The key finding is that gendered patterns of candidate recruitment in the new member states are best explained as a function of political parties’ positions on European integration, with electoral systems and left–right placement having only a limited impact on the selection of women candidates.

Political Competition and Voter Mobility

The existing model of political competition is extended to allow voters to live in different regions and to migrate between regions in response to an inter-regional transfer policy. We then show that regions have a different ``weight'' in the expected vote function of political parties. This gives parties an incentive to bias the transfer policy in favour of relatively high weight regions, with potentially adverse efficiency and equity effects. However, we then show that parties always propose efficient and equitable regional transfers, regardless of whether regions have different weights, if there is some mobility of citizens across regions. Mobility constrains parties to act efficiently and equitably even though they face an incentive to act otherwise. However, when voters are immobile political competition leads to inequitable though efficient outcomes.

The Erosion of the Function of Political Parties in the Post-Liberal State

Jimmy Carter's farewell address deplored the pernicious influence of “single-interest” groups in America. These are said to harm the two-party system, which is already in trouble in any case. Such groups are not interest groups in the classical liberal sense, but are more like unusually narrow mass movements.

The Function of Political Parties: A Critique of the Literature and the Approach

P OLITICAL THEORISTS have long been concerned with analyzing and evaluating the relationship between political parties and democratic government., Some, like Burke and Ostrogorski, have pursued their inquiry mainly within the normative framework of how the ideal of democratic government may best be achieved; while others, particularly contemporary social scientists, have worked within a more empirical, value-free orientation. In either case~, attention has focused upon what parties do, what function, what role, or what purpose is served by parties, or what contribution is made by parties. The question of party function has been especially challenging to American theorists because the United States was the first country to develop full-fledged political parties; and, more importantly, because the hostility of American opinion toward parties has invited scholarly inquiry into whether parties are in fact as divisive and corrupting as their popular reputation would suggest. Although no two writers on American parties have agreed on the exact formulation of the inventory, Merriam's analysis of party function (his term) as found in his 1923 volume on The American Party System has had profound influence on subsequent writers. Thus Merriam's itemization may be preesented as being broadly representative of the party-function literature: (1) selection of official personnel; (2) formulation of public policies; (3) conductors or critics of government; (4) political education (including nationalization of opinion); and (5) intermediation between individual and government.2 Other
