Fraksi lainnya, termasuk Gerindra, tetap menginginkan revisi UU Pilpres. Sidang paripurna DPR akhirnya memutuskan menghentikan pembahasan. Sehingga ambang presidential threshold (PT) tetap 20 persen perolehan kursi DPR atau 25 perolehan suara nasional. Angka PT 20 persen, patut dipertanyakan. Dalam UUD 1945 pasal 6, tak diamanatkan penetapan ambang batas. Konstitusi hanya menyebutkan pasangan presiden – wapres diajukan oleh partai politik atau gabungan parpol. Sehingga penetapan PT 20 persen jelas berlawanan dengan konstitusi. Partai Gerindra tak khawatir angka PT 20 persen. Namun ini merupakan cermin permainan oligarki partai yang bertentangan FO dengan semangat demokrasi. Ada kepentingan subyektif jangka T O F pendek partai tertentu. Keputusan ini juga bertentangan dengan ACE hak setiap warga negara untuk memilih dan dipilih. Oligarki partai BOO mengebiri hak konstitusional warga negara untuk mencalonkan diri K.C O sebagai presiden atau wapres. Ini membatasi potensi munculnya M/ G pasangan capres-cawapres terbaik bagi bangsa. ERINDRA Partai Gerindra menginginkan PT sesuai parliamentary threshold sehingga semakin banyak sajian alternatif pasangan capres – cawapres. Biarlah rakyat yang memilih. Selain UU Pilpres, hak konstitusional rakyat juga dicederai PRABOWO SUBIANTO persoalan daftar pemilih tetap (DPT). Di era globalisasi yang penuh kemajuan teknologi, seharusnya masalah DPT tak mungkin ada.

  • 1 'We Only Vote but Do Not Know' the Social
    ‘WE ONLY VOTE BUT DO NOT KNOW’ THE SOCIAL FOUNDATIONS OF PARTISANSHIP IN GHANA By KEVIN S. FRIDY A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2007 1 © 2007 Kevin S. Fridy 2 To Sarah 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Though the process of writing a dissertation can feel like a solitary affair at three o’clock in the morning with a deadline fast approaching and several pages still to be written before dawn, the process of retrospection that accompanies the writing of an “acknowledgments” section brings with it valuable perspective. In hindsight I can see that the actual writing of my dissertation only seemed so tedious and mind-numbing at times because it kept me away from the people who brought so much joy to the practice of discovery which surrounded all those solitary hours behind the computer. These individuals bear no responsibility for the mistakes I have made in cobbling together a social story of Ghanaian party politics, but they deserve much of the credit for whatever the dissertation’s redeeming qualities. During my field work in Ghana I simultaneously incurred so many debts of gratitude and was such a poor record keeper that there are many people who deserve thanks but will not receive it individually. To all the random Ghanaians in Odododiodio, Bantama, and Nabdam constituencies who took time out of their busy schedules to answer a survey questionnaire I give thanks. To all the secretaries who turned the waiting room television away from Nigerian movies and to BBC for my sake and made sure I left their office building with both the name and personal cell phone number of the individual I needed to speak with I give thanks.

Social Democracy in Mauritius Letuku Elias Phaahla 15814432 Thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (International Studies) at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Professor Janis van der Westhuizen March 2010 ii Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the owner of the copyright thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Signature:………………………..

Condemned with the misfortune of not being endowed with natural resources, relative to her mainland African counterparts, Mauritius, nonetheless, was able to break the shackles of limited economic options and one of being the ‘basket-case’ to gradually evolving into being the upper-middle-income country - thus depicting it to be one of the most encouraging economies within the developing world.

  • THE FORMATION, COLLAPSE and REVIVAL of POLITICAL PARTY COALITIONS in MAURITIUS Ethnic Logic and Calculation at Play *
    VOLUME 4 NO 1 133 THE FORMATION, COLLAPSE AND REVIVAL OF POLITICAL PARTY COALITIONS IN MAURITIUS Ethnic Logic and Calculation at Play * By Denis K Kadima and Roukaya Kasenally ** Denis K Kadima is the Executive Director of EISA. P O Box 740 Auckland Park 2006 Johannesburg Tel: +27 (0) 11 482.5495; Fax: +27 (0) 11 482.6163 e-mail: [email protected] Dr Roukaya Kasenally is a media and political communication specialist and teaches in the Faculty of Social Studies and Humanities at the University of Mauritius. Reduit, Mauritius Tel: +230 454 1041; Fax: +230 686 4000 e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Coalitions and alliances are a regular feature of the Mauritian political landscape. The eight post-independence general elections have all been marked by electoral accords where those expecting to retain power or those aspiring to be in power hedge their bets by forming alliances with partners that ensure that they will be elected. Another fascinating feature is that, apart from that in 1976, all these coalitions have been formed before the election, allowing each party leader to engage in a series of tactical and bargaining strategies to ensure that his party gets a fair deal and, more recently, an equal deal, where the alliance partners shared the post of Prime Minister. The purpose of this paper is to shed some light on this under- researched area and to offer some explanation of the different mechanisms that exist * The authors acknowledge with gratitude the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, Johannesburg, and the Embassy of Finland, Pretoria, who funded the project.
