Create Harmony and Healthy Democracy
What I see in Indonesia is that political leaders try to create harmony and avoid toxic relation between them. I dont see them pointing finger to other party or political leader as corrupt, what they do just boasting their own party can combat corruption better than the other party.
Indonesia as I frequently said here is like that, this is why Soeharto still respect Soekarno and never put him on jail after Soekarno fall, and Soeharto is also still respected in Indonesia and never been put into jail after he resigned in 1998 (under political pressure)
Indonesia never ban Golkar party that is the government party during Soeharto rule. This Golkar party have split into 3-4 parties and all of them are strong parties (Golkar, Democrat, Gerindra, Nasional Democrat). Golkar is third largest party and Gerindra is second biggest party, while Nasional Democrat party can make Anies Baswedan eligible to run for President together with Democrat and Justice and Welfare Party (PKS). President candidate should get 20% of power in parliament in order to be eligible to run as President candidate in the election.
With healthy relationship between political parties then it can make winning party have much possibility to create strong majority coalition inside parliament in order to make effective government and political stability
Another example, Prabowo Subianto and Sandiaga Uno are both challenging Jokowi during Presidential Election 2019. In order to unite the country, Jokowi invites Prabowo and Sandiaga Uno into his Cabinet as important ministers. You cannot make something like this if the rivalry is so toxic and become so personal.
