The shift from centralised authoritarian rule to decentralised democracy in Indonesia saw businessmen, gangsters and corrupt politicians become entrenched in parliament and regional assemblies, which scholars have described as an oligarchy represented through "money politics" and "party cartels".
You've got a huge segment of the electorate that is unrepresented by lazy party cartels that treat their views with contempt, don't understand their aspirations and talk down to them.
Furthermore, the historical models of political parties reviewed in [34] (i.e., Caucus parties, Mass parties, Catch-all parties, and Cartel parties) always assumed organization around elites.
This two-party cartel posing as a public service "commission" admitted in a 1987 press conference that independent candidates and alternative political parties should be excluded from the debates, and they create artificial barriers to exclude them.
It is not surprising that, given the public's inevitable ignorance of the niggling details of corporatist system-rigging, the two-party political cartel has very little interest in doing anything about any of this.
This could break the back of the two-party power cartel, reduce the costs of elections by billions, and put democracy back in business (rather than democracy being the business).
But the more parties to the cartel agreement, the harder to define, police and enforce it.Of course non-OPEC reserves are always being depleted and always increased, by discovery and development in old and new areas.
This involved what appeared to be dozens of 'sex parties' with drug cartel members, dating back to 2001.
The lawyer also said "La Barbie" once kicked Rivera in order to humiliate her and that she snorted cocaine at cartel parties.
Does the political party that breaks the cartel come from the libertarian right – Ukip?
