VIVAnews - Author of the book entitled Political Marketing, Firmanzah, viewed that the political force of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono resembles that of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. Yudhoyono is enforced by strong professionals but does not have rooted network.

"He hires professionals, for instance a professional on media, to build his image," he said on Tuesday, Feb. 24.

In addition, Firmanzah said, the battle of President Yudhoyono against presidential candidate from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle, Megawati Soekarnoputri, is a rivalry between professionals in politics against political network.

Meanwhile, Jusuf Kalla has a similar advantage as Megawati. Their parties, Functional Group (Golkar) Party and Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP), have an excellent network, from cities to villages.

If Yudhoyono wins the next Elections, the Democratic Party must team up with a top party to maintain its stability in the government and parliamentary. Therefore, Golkar will be a perfect partner for the Democratic Party.
