Politik Uang dan Prospek Konsolidasi Demokrasi Indonesia

Until the fifth legislative election (2019) in the Reformation Era, money politics was still a disease in the democratic process in Indonesia. Instead of decreasing, the practice of money politics in the last election has become even more massive, vulgar, and brutal. Meanwhile, the prospect of Indonesian democracy, which was considered optimistic, so that it is considered a new democracy has recently tended to decline. This study tries to see the link between money politics and the prospect of consolidating Indonesia's democracy by utilizing secondary data through a qualitative descriptive study. The results of the study show that the quality of Indonesian democracy has decreased in recent years, partly due to the proliferation of political corruption practices, including money politics. Indonesia's prospects for a developed and stable democracy still require a long struggle, especially regarding serious eradication of political corruption, including corruption related to elections such as money politics.

Local Elections (Pilkada): Money Politics and Cukong Democracy

This study explores and structures the problems underlying money politics in local elections (Pilkada), which formulate alternative solutions based on logical reasoning. The exploration and formulation of issues and the preparation of alternative solutions are carried out using strong arguments to ensure the conclusions' plausibility. The practice of money politics can occur in two main areas, namely in ​​the nomination process in the form of political dowries paid by candidates to political parties. In the campaign area, the condition of buying and selling votes carried out by candidates with voters. The practice of political dowry occurs due to the limited alternatives that a person can use to run for regional head elections. The nomination mechanism is much more difficult and costly through individual channels, so paying political dowries to political parties is the easiest and more specific option. The practice of money politics occurs because of voters' mental attitudes who are not rational, and the system of sanctions still supports the way of buying and selling votes. Alternative solutions to money politics in these two areas are compiled by doing a simulative analysis that can eliminate the practice's root causes. Decreasing the threshold for candidate submission by political parties, adopting the maximum point for political party support, reducing the number of voter support requirements for individual candidates, eliminating political dowries in local leader nominations, and simultaneously reducing costs for individual candidates. Adopting criminal sanctions for givers in the practice of buying and selling votes is an alternative solution in preventing the way of buying and selling votes in local elections (Pilkada).

In its development, election crime in Indonesia has undergone many changes, in the form of increasing types of criminal acts to differences in the addition of criminal sanctions. This is due to the fact that election crimes are increasingly becoming a more serious concern because the measure of the success of a democratic country is seen from its success in holding elections.

With regard to money politics, Article 280 paragraph (1) letter j and Article 286 paragraph (1) of the Election Law stipulate prohibitions for election campaigners, participants, and election campaign teams as well as candidate pairs (candidates for President and Vice President), candidates for DPR, DPD, Provincial DPRD, Regency / Municipal DPRD, campaign executor, and / or campaign team promise and / or give money or other materials to influence election organizers and / or voters.

The prohibition on money politics is also contained in Article 69 paragraph (1) letter j and Article 72 of KPU Regulation Number 23 of 2018 concerning the General Election Campaign. Furthermore, if there are elements that are detrimental to state finances, Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Corruption (Corruption Eradication Law) can also be applied. Even though there are laws and regulations, the practice of money politics in elections still occurs. Law enforcement regarding money politics in Indonesia has several shortcomings. This deficiency is caused by several factors, namely legal factors, infrastructure factors, community factors, and cultural factors.

RELASI POLITIK UANG DAN PARTY-ID DI INDONESIA

Tulisan ini secara spesifik melihat implikasi serius dari rendahnya Party-ID terhadap masivnya praktek politik uang di Indonesia. Prosesi demokrasi elektoral di Indonesia bekerja dengan logika padat modal sehingga kekuatan finansial menjadi salah satu faktor determinan dalam kemenangan kandidat politik. Hal ini beririsan secara bersamaan dengan terjadinya proses deideologisasi yang berlangsung secara masif ditubuh partai politik dan pemilih sehingga tingkatan Party-ID menjadi lemah. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi literatur. Data utama yang digunakan berasal dari jurnal, buku, maupun internet. Penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa gagalnya fungsi representasi politik (artikulasi dan agregasi kepentingan) yang ditampilkan partai politik membuat ikatan kedekatan ideologis (Party-ID) dengan masyarakat menjadi begitu rapuh. Hilangnya kohesi ideologis tersebut turut andil menguatkan tipologi floating mass yang seringkali harus diikat kembali melalui pendekatan politik uang ketika momen elektoral hadir (Pemilu dan Pilkada). Memperkuat fungsi intermediasi Partai Politik melalui reformasi kelembagaan dan kerja-kerja politik ideologis adalah salah satu solusi strategis memutus mata rantai politik uang di Indonesia.

Mahalnya Ongkos Politik dalam Pemilu Serentak Tahun 2019

The amount of money circulating in the 2019 Election has the potential to increase from the 2014 general election. This is based on several things. First, the system and mechanical elections have not changed from 2014. This means that the personal side or orientation of the election competition is still based on legislative candidates rather than political parties. Second, the orientation of the 2019 Legislative Election competition remains based on the popularity and personality of candidates. Third, to be elected, every legislative candidate will still try to increase its popularity, increase campaign activities, and personally finance it. In Indonesia, one of the crucial topics in each general election is about money management in elections. The role and function of money in elections is very important in studies in the social sciences, especially political science, law, and economics. This issue then brings various consequences for election participants, election organizers, and from the voter side so that the phenomenon of the widespread practice of money politics is also a major issue in the implementation of each election.

Measuring The Consistency Of Female Voters In The Practice Of Money Politics

The practice of money politics occurs in the event of Local Leaders Selection (Pilkada). Although emerging debates, the community is in fact still categorized as highly enjoying the practice of corruption in the process of democracy in Indonesia. The practice is forbidden and has legal consequences, however, the “gratification” of rupiah towards the election day which known in the term of “dawn bribery” is still accepted by constituents especially by the women voters. This research was conducted on the election of local leaders of Cirebon Regency in 2013 and 2018 by implementing mix method analysis. Quantitative data were acquired through survey questionnaire with multistage random sampling system and qualitative data were obtained through interview and observation towards the participants. The results of research have indicated that the community considers the money politics as common thing and it tends to be the awaited moment as the form of “political fortune”. About 75% of voters consider money politics as a common thing. Even though, money politics did not influence the voters in determining their attitude. Female voters are still influenced by collectiveness culture and domination of family head in determining their political choices.

The effect of the party’s image relationship to voters’ satisfaction and voters’ loyalty

PurposeThe purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between leadership and the party’s image and voters’ satisfaction and voters’ loyalty in the regional election of the North Konawe District, Indonesia.Design/methodology/approachThe study design is quantitative methods (Creswell, 2010). It is an explanatory research, investigating the relationship between variables (Kothari, 2004). The study population was the voters who participated in the 2015 regional head election of North Konawe. The population in this study was 37,429 people spread over 12 districts and 135 villages, and the sample size of this study was 276 respondents, based on sample size formulation in (Bungin, 2008). The method used to analyze the data in this study is generalized structured component analysis (GSCA), which investigate comprehensively the inner model (hypothesis testing for the structural model) and the outer model (measurement model for unobservable variables). The Sobel test (under the GSCA model) was used to test whether a particular variable mediates the relationship between endogenous variables and exogenous variables.FindingsThe party’s image influences voters’ satisfaction. The party’s image will not directly influence voters’ loyalty, but it will influence voters’ loyalty with the mediating effect of voters’ satisfaction.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings of this study that makes the social security program as one of the themes in the competition reinforces previous studies such as in the Philippines, Thailand, Mexico and Brazil (2012). Various jargons are often thrown around to gain votes and support from the poor. For example, the term “populist economy”, where free public health and education services are often declared in various political campaigns, both in the legislative member and regional head elections.Practical implicationsThe results of this research, i.e. the influence of the party’s image for electoral interests, would reinforce the results of previous studies. Sometimes the politicians use the poverty program, which is apparently neutral, but actually for the sake of political interests (Gallego, 2015). The results of this study show that the manipulation of government programs is often done to help the politicians in mobilizing the voters. However, in practices, the voters? satisfaction and loyalty are interpreted differently. The voters do not always sell their votes because of what they receive; it could be that the voters receive the assistance by considering it as a fortune or wage in return for helping the politicians. It was proved by the results of this study that the incumbent lost the election.Social implicationsUsing the party’s image in a political contest has created serious implications in the development of democracy in Indonesia. Indonesia, which has chosen democracy as a political route, is still highly vulnerable to clientelistic practices. Although procedurally Indonesia has paved the main democratic consolidation after the reform, ranging from the legislative election to the presidential election to the regional head election, the practice of money politics is still occurring widely. The problem of vote-buying is more difficult to solve because law enforcement mechanisms are not conducted properly. For example, only three days were given to prove the allegation of vote-buying. Of course, this short time makes it difficult to prove the practice of money politics at lower levels.Originality/valueThe originality of this research can be seen from the following explanation: based on the results of data processing, there are interesting things observed, with the party’s image as the exogenous variable, voters’ satisfaction as the intervening endogenous variable and voters’ loyalty as the pure endogenous variable. This means that more and more community empowerment will increase the desirability of a candidate. This is unique in itself, where with this result, it can be concluded that North Konawe communities are more affected by the nature of the aid empowerment, durable and sustainable/long-term rather than momentary relief (cash).

KRITIK NU TERHADAP SISTEM PENYELENGGARAAN PEMILIHAN KEPALA DAERAH

Local elections in Indonesia has always been a public concern. Various cases and long problem continues to occur in the local election process.

Bentuk Komunikasi Politik untuk Membangun Perilaku Politik Masyarakat Lokal Guna Menciptakan Pemilukada yang Aman

The practice of election should be an important momentum for local people to directly elect the head of terrain. This election studies conducted by the National Law Reform Consortium concluded, that the celebration of democracy in 2010 "to lose their meaning, since the practice of money politics and the politicization of the bureaucracy that dominates the process of winning the election". With the scenario of fraud in the election, it can be a catalyst for conflict between supporters of candidates, which often leads to conflicts that are anarchists. For that we need a form of political communication that can shape political behavior so that local communities can safe and clean election.
