the experienced during 11 years with liberal or was not suitable with Indonesian
personality. Because liberal democracy is import from the west. And in this
sistem there is a known term about opposition. This term makes Indonesia

kabinet for Indonesia is gotong royong kabinet which consist off all people
element, not like kabinet in parliamentary democracy. In his previous speech at
general meeting “Merah Putih” Soekarno gaven a clue and tell his ambition to
take a part to the goverment before constituent assembly finishe the new
constitution. Soekarno also said that he will give the consept which is
