Democrat, presumably, already feel to be the winner in the election this time. After strong all institutions through a quick survey count, the party was yesterday berancang start preparations to set up the scenario coalition presidential election (pilpres). Including the opportunity to open the back berkoalisi with Golkar.

Chairman of the Board of Pembina Democrat who is also President of the Republic of Indonesia Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) the requirement for submitting coalition. He said the coalition must ensure that effective governance in the five years.

SBY yesterday collecting some pentolan Democrat in kediamannya, Puri Cikeas Indah, Bogor. Since yesterday afternoon, the management of the Democratic Party already in Cikeas. Among them is General Chairman of the Democratic Party Hadi Utomo, Achmad Mubarok (deputy head of the public), Marzuki Alie (Secretary General), Anas Urbaningrum (chairman), Andi Mallarangeng (the head of the department of human resources), Hayono Isman, Jero Wacik, and Taufik Effendy.

According to SBY, Democrat started it against various political parties to build coalitions in Pilpres 2009. ''If this coalition is successful, we continue up to five years,''said SBY at a press conference in kediamannya, Cikeas Puri Indah, Jakarta, yesterday.

Democrat, said SBY, open berkoalisi with any political party. However, he was emphatic, his side will not impose berkoalisi with the political parties which have rejected the overt cooperation with the Democratic Party. ''I've heard there is a political party that says say no to the Democratic Party. Yes I respect,''said SBY.

But, most of the political party, SBY go, since the beginning continue to communicate informally, directly and indirectly. And, communication, and he said SBY, akan diintensifkan so that there is agreement that a strong coalition. Some political party, the word of SBY, is a PKB, PKS, PAN, PKPI, pioneer, and the United Nations.

Learning from experience''coalition that is now (2004-2009), especially in parliament and in government, a coalition akan datang rules must be based. Political contract should be clear. Ethics in berkoalisi must be run. All must be written, a charter written in the coalition agreement,''said SBY.

With the coalition agreement in writing in the charter, according to SBY, the public can control the political party which does not adhere or adhere to the agreement. Agreement with such a brilliant, SBY go, people no longer dibingungkan attitude in political party coalitions.

Why Democrat make explicit limitation in the coalition? Importance''my only one. Once the coalition formed, the government must be effective in running the task. Government relationship with the House of Representatives must be running well, without reducing the critical power the board,''said SBY. By doing so, said SBY, laws or policies issued jointly managed by the government and parliament.

Such as what format rules is main coalition? According to SBY, the Democratic Party is being prepared and examine the logic and nalar healthy. However, in principle must be awakened mental attitude and mind set that every political party in the coalition together, support each other, and give each other feedback.

SBY cite, one of the political parties in the coalition proposes menterinya change in the cabinet, should be discussed between the president and the political party concerned. No political party can then have unilaterally announced that the minister is no longer representing the political party. The situation that happened in the PKB that the General Chairman of the Board of Syura DPP PKB Abdurrahman Wahid suddenly does not recognize the claims of Manpower Minister Erman Suparno and Minister PDT Lukman Edy PKB as a deputy in the cabinet.

''This is also one of ethics that should be built in future coalitions. This is not unusual and is not strange, all can be followed by the sense. I am sure, people will be happy because, in principle, this transparency is good in a democracy,''said SBY.

With a strong coalition, said SBY, the future does not easily occur between the government and of the wing is in coalition cabinet or even in your own. ''For example, what exactly a departure from the coalition ministers menghantami the government policy that he also still is in the government. Anywhere in the country should he must be out. This should be clear later. People also want clarity as that,''he said.
