Uniquely in the practice of constitutional Coalition political party applied only to a parliamentary system instead of presidential such as in Indonesia. This phenomenon resulted in the coalition of political parties in Indonesia is not ideological but simply Coalition Coalition of interests that are very loose. This loose coalition that very often resulted in the migration of the room from each party from opposition into joining the government or vice versa depending on the extent to which the interests of the party to be accommodated. It is then called pseudeo democracy by political parties in the coalition government mechanism.
