Democracy and the state
Regional elections Chosen by regional parliaments
Said
He leans towards regional parliaments, once elected, choosing governors and regents, to keep democracy from wasting money.
“Jadi saya sendiri condong, saya akan mengajak kekuatan politik, ayo marilah kita berani, berani memberi solusi kepada rakyat kita, demokratis tapi jangan buang-buang uang. Kalau sudah sekali memilih DPRD kabupaten, DPRD provinsi, ya kenapa enggak langsung saja pilih gubernurnya dan bupatinya, selesai,”
Our translation So I myself lean that way, I will invite the political forces, come, let us be brave, brave enough to give our people a solution, democratic but without wasting money.
