 “ This House Believe that Strong Dictatorship is Better than Weak Democracy”
Delimitation : Comparing Soeharto period and Susilo Bambang Yudoyono period.

1.Goverment :
            Dictator is a ruler who ruled the country in authoritarian / tyrannical and oppressive people. And in Indonesia there is a real example of dictatorship. He is Soeharto who lead Indonesia in second period. Suharto is a serious leader seeks community prosper . Although not free from criticism , the former president has contributed a great service , especially in developing ideology of development , growth , and development programs are well planned five years . The program was able to raise the dignity of the Indonesian people . Another advantage , Suharto very seriously thinking of and fight for the needs of  people.
It is seen from his action on agriculture and food issues . Not only formulate and implement the concept , he also took to the field to check the development process . I think, it is a good service that Soeharto gave to the society. So apropriate with the motion, I agree that dictatorship is better than weak democracy because there are good sides in dictator governance :
     1 . Strengthening the National Unity
The good side of the dictator is strengthen national unity and solidarity. If the disturbing elements rise to the surface , it will be suppressed until the roots. While democracy characterize group . A variety of groups , parties and factions fighting or struggling to achieve a power .
     2 . Generating Progress and Prosperity
The dictator can eradicate corruption and hold officials discipline . In a dictatorship there is no gap strikes and other actions , which could influence community economic growth .
Besides , the fact of Susilo Bambang Yudoyono’s weakness are number of failures and shortcomings that still exist is the rule of law has not been fully realized , still rampant corruption , bureaucracy is deemed not reflect good governance , environmental degradation , infrastructure is still inadequate , and the political costs are still high , especially in local elections .
President also noted , disruption of harmony and tolerance as well as a number of violent acts that disrupt public security and order are still frequently encountered .
And the other drawback is the president SBY is not resistant to a criticism and the President also been slow in taking decisions.

2. Opposite :
Underline the motion that “ This House Believe that Strong Dictatorship is Better than Weak Democracy”. As opposite I really disagree.Why???
Because Democracy is a form of government that all citizens have equal rights in decision making that can change their lives . Democracy allow citizens to participate - either directly or through representatives in the formulation , development , and manufacture of the law . Democracy includes the social, economic , and cultural practices that allow for free political freedom and equal .
Back to the understanding of democracy in Indonesia is from society , to society and by society. It means that Indonesia country uphold the human righ .Every aspect that society argue is listen as well as by the president. There are advantages of democracy system, such as : Assuring control of citizens to political power, increase political awareness, increase personal knowledge, Citizens have equal opportunities in the field of politics, In decision making, there is the principle of consultation  to the society.
Besides the fact that we must underline more is about dictator system. This system just thought of egoism and a high sense of nationalism. He always considered himself a leader, it is in power. And also under the dictatorial power man has no freedom, can not even disclose or provide its contribution, although aimed at the common good. Therein lies the harassment of personality. And in Soeharto era there are many intimidation. For the real act are: acts of racism against the Chinese ethnic, crackdown on the student movement, control the mass media and curb freedom of the press. And the thing that makes me laugh is the Price of Goods and cheap groceries but the country's debt to swell.
            So that’s way I really disagree about the motion. And I think Susilo Bambang Yudoyono period is better than Soeharto period because there is no intimidation in this era. Every societies get their right in their life. And the important thing is the birth of the Commission as a weapon against corruption [although not yet been effective] . As the result many corruptor found and get the punishment.
