Why would voters need to go for the narrower policies of Islamic parties when
the 'nationalist' parties accommodate Islamic aspirations? Voters can get all
the Islam they want in the mainstream. The survey should have looked for a
greater accommodation of Islamism in the nationalist parties, and not
ignorantly assume that only explicitly Islamic parties cater to an Islamic
agenda.

A survey released on Tuesday shows that Islamic political parties in Indonesia
are losing popularity, attributing the decline to Indonesia's increasing draw
toward political moderates.
The National Survey Institute (LSN) found this month that only 15 percent of
respondents (out of a total of 1,230) chose the four "big" Islamic parties,
including the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), National Mandate Party (PAN),
United Development Party (PPP) and National Awakening Party (PKB).
This figure represents a sharp decline from the 2009 elections, where the same
parties drew 29 percent of the total vote.
"And it is not impossible that it will even drop deeper in the 2014 elections,"
Umar S. Bakry, executive director of LSN, told Antara.
Since the end of the Suharto's regime in 1998, Islamic parties enjoyed as much
as 38 percent of the vote.
The LSN survey showed that Golkar (Suharto's former party) is now the most
popular political faction, followed by the Indonesian Democratic Party of
Struggle and the Democratic Party.
The survey also revealed low support for specific politicians from Islamic
parties, such as Hidayat Nur Wahid (PKS), Hatta Rajasa (PAN), Muhaimin Iskandar
(PKB) and Suryadharma Ali (PPP).
Umar said there are a variety of reasons for the declining popularity.
"The Internal problem is a identity crisis among Islamic political parties and
politicians," he said, adding that external factors include the strengthening
secularism in Indonesian politics.
While similar research also shows that Indonesians are growing more religious,
politically, they are departing from Islamic ideology.
"The majority of Islamic people in Indonesia tend to be more tolerant,
moderate, inclusive and non-sectarian," Umar said.
PKS Spokesman Bukhori Yusuf said that Indonesians might be reluctant to vote
for Islamic parties because they're worried those parties are courting
extremism.
"From what I see, one of the problems is a psychological trauma in Indonesia.
Islamic party leadership might be considered as right- wing extremist," Bukhori
said.
PKB Chairman Marwan Jafar attributed the dwindling popularity to "transactional
politics." Indonesian politicians, in other words, no longer believe in
ideology, but money.
"Transactional politics has destroyed everything," he said on Wednesday. "But
we're optimistic that Islamic parties are still strong."
PPP Secretary General M. Romahurmuzy said on Wednesday that the survey's
results are misleading, claiming that the declining votes can be attributed to
middle, or smaller parties. Smaller political parties include the Great
Indonesia Movement Party (Gerindra) or the People's Conscience Party (Hanura).
While Romahurmuzy did not specifically name these groups, he said that middle
parties were incapable of providing strong leaders with political experience.
He also said the majority of Indonesians, especially those with a low level of
education, would vote for parties who have "strong character and experienced
leaders."
"The slow regeneration in political parties, instead of a being problem, has
become the benefitting factor in electability," Romahurmuzy said, referring to
the remergence of older and experienced politicians.
Former Chairman of the Crescent Star Party (PBB) Ali Mochtar Ngabali, who has
moved to Golkar, conversely said that Islamic parties don't have worthy
products to gather votes.
"The declining support toward Islamic parties is really acceptable," Ali told
tempo.co.
