Abstract

Objective: This study aims to find out the Political Parties hegemony in general election and its impact on the system of General Election and Representative. Design/ methodology/ data analysis: Research methodology used in this study is juridical normative. Its main objects of the analysis are constitutional texts and democracy phenomenology data in Indonesia. All data and those materials are analyzed by deconstructive method through philosophical, statute and conceptual approach. Findings: Result of the study shows that Political Parties hegemony is created by the Indonesian Constitution. The application of representative theory in representative General Election is inappropriate, whereas the appropriate one is direct democracy theory which is eligible for the election. The elimination of Political Parties as representative in the Election and Parliament Faction causes dual interests in democracy. Originality Values: The value of this study is different to numerous studies when seen from outside have been changing representative theory into direct democracy theory in the election. Eliminating Political Parties in the election of representative members and the existence of Political Parties Factions in Parliament, even though all researchers and experts state that Political Parties have become the main requirements of democracy. Deconstruction analysis covers some sharp distinctions between this study and the previous constructive studies. Practical implications: The theoretical argumentation of this study is hard to be refuted, because General Elections as a fundamental sovereign momentum that deserves to be based on single representation, realized directly, such things do not eliminate the democracy ontology. Many parties are experiencing annoyance by this idea including politicians of Political Parties, political oligarchs and intellectuals who are logocentric to Political Parties as the core of democracy.
