TANPA ADANYA PARTAI DOMINAN, PEMBENTUKAN KABINET PRESIDENSIAL TETAP BERCIRIKAN HASIL KOMPROMI DENGAN PARTAI PENDUKUNG

Abstract

Since the 2004 presidential election, cabinet formation has always paid attention to parties in parliament, specifically supporting parties in the process of acheiving victory. This practice must be carried out because the president does not come from the winning party and every general election does not succeed in creating a majority party. Many studies state that a presidential system is not suitable if held together with a multy party system. The problem of the study is why in Indonesia, the practice of forming a cabinet in a multy party system does not fully follow the presidential system; Does the party system in Indonesia make it possible to produce two dominant parties that support a presidential system? Normative analysis of the regulation of relations between the presidential and parliamentary institutions accompanied by the practice of forming a cabinet 4 times states that the combination of a presidential system and multy party system has not been succesfully implementation a full and purely according to the presidential system. This is because, firstly, the constitution requires cooperation between the government and parliament and in some circumstances government decisions must obtain parliamentary approval. Secondly, all general election results have not succeeded in realizing the existence of a dominant party or the elected president always does not come from the dominant party. Future cabinet formation (2014) will always have parliamentary characteristics, where the president will consider the parties in parliament, by negotiating, in order to obtain support for the smooth running of government programs. According to the constitution, parliament has the power to supervise, approve or reject a proposed government program.
