ASSIGNMENT
delivered good and smart campaigns, on the contrary, their mass did not
seem to show good and smart behaviours. Aside from that, it has to come to
our opinion that politic is a stage which every single actor in it must take
possesion of bad and good way of campaign. That is why black campaign or
money politics have been real issues during the process to elect.
Pustaka Celebes in its second survey during July to August declared
that Supomo Guntur-Kadir Halid (SuKa) and Danny Pomanto-Syamsu Riza
(DIA) competed tightly, followed by Irman YL-Busrah Abdullah, Muhyina
Muin-Syaiful Saleh, and Tamsil Linrung-Dasad Latief. Interestingly, besides
the level of their electability, the respondents acknowledged that the image
of young, clean (no corruption), and religious figures was the answer to vote.
From the data obtained, it was found that voters who voted the image
of young, clean, and religious figures were educated voters. Lowest
education voters were graduates of High School/Madrasah Aliyah. It is
obvious that the higher one's education is, the more selective he will be in
voting. This was different from undecided voters who would apathetically
elect right in the election moment. They were generally less educated voters
(did not graduate from high school / MA) and lived in slum and poor area.
There was even a frankly speaking voter who waited for any candidates to
provide sembako (nine staffs and staples), money, and so on for him. Voters
who voted for the experience of candidates, or for belonging to either the
same ethnicity, the same town/region, or the same school/university, and for
relating and being the neighbors/friends of the candidates have very small
percentage.
Based on the above surveys, we can conclude that we as the people of
Makassar are of many kinds. As elements of the democracy party, we are
supposed to be involved in participating and actualizing the clean and
orderly mayor elections enthusiastically. Unfortunately, not all of us who will
elect have the same vision and dedication. Plural society with different social
status and educational background affect the way of thinking and which
candidate we will elect. To be honest, those with higher educational
background will be smarter voters which have critical thinking and wellformed opinion. While those with lower educational background and poor
condition tend to think about feeding and surviving instead of paying
attention to the political issue. Indeed, the surveys do not present the reality
precisely but they can describe what will happen in the future based on the
scientific process. Gaining the voters opinion earlier can describe their
further opinion especially after the election occurs.
