JAKARTA - Chairman of the Gelora Party Anis Matta believes there will be a massive migration of voters, from old political parties to new political parties because there are fundamental problems related to the articulation of people's votes in parliament.

"In a presidential system, even though the government's coalition of political parties is large, the DPR should not be 'dead'. That is one of the reasons why there will be a large-scale migration of public choices in the 2024 election," said Anis Matta in Jakarta, Antara, Sunday, 2 May.

He said that at this time the public saw that the old political parties had a problem, namely that they could not bring a solution to the crisis experienced by the Indonesian nation.

According to him, the worst thing right now is that the DPR's position as a parliament is very weak, in which there are political parties resulting from the 2019 election.

"Our parliament has really become a stamp tool, because of the various policies produced without any debate. Because of that there are weaknesses in the legislative products, for example the Omnibus Law which was sued to the Constitutional Court," he also said.

In addition, according to him, in drafting the State Capital Law (IKN), which is very fundamental and will have an impact on people's lives, the process is almost without debate in the DPR.

Because of this, he believes that the large number of coalitions of political parties that support the government have actually killed the role of the DPR.

Whereas in a presidential system, parliament does not have to be 'dead' if the number of coalitions is large.
