And the winner is.....

Yesterday was the day when we choose our representative in government. Unlike five years ago, this time we didn't hole but mark the party or the person number or the person name. This new mechanism may seem confusing for some people so KPU (general election commitee) suggested that if there was still people hole the election paper, then it's still considered as valid.

I saw in television that many Indonesian people are using this event for not coming to the election but choosing to take their vacation as our government has declared that election day is our national holiday instead. This is really regretful as it depicts the trust level our people has for the government is really low. So it results in the number of participants reported doesn't exceed 60%.

While many television and mass media reports the result of quick count today, all state that the winner is demokrat party led by Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, other parties will argue for they noticed some wrongdoings in the election process. Some discovered that the election paper for certain region has been switched with other region while other discovered that the election paper used had already marked.

No wonder many people choose for not giving his/her voice during the election day. I can feel their upset for the government as the election day which should be a democracy parties for all of us may seemed as a mere dirty politics game for them. So it must be said that the real winner is undecided voter. 40% is double from the results of democrat party had. I believe this new government will meet many hurdles as it's only supported by 60% of its people. In history, when a country is not supported by its people anymore, then there will be trouble anywhere.

Let's just hope that this will never happen and the new government will capable of leading indonesia out of global crysis instead....
