Do Political Parties Help the People's Interests in the Ciptaker Law? Public Perception

A recent Kurious survey from the Katadata Insight Center (KIC) reveals public perception of political parties advocating for the people's interests in the Job Creation Law (Ciptaker) regulations, particularly through the Government Regulation in Lieu of Law (Perppu).

Perppu Number 2/2022 concerning Job Creation was signed by President Joko Widodo on Friday, December 30, 2022. This Perppu replaces Law Number 11/2020 concerning Job Creation, which the Constitutional Court declared conditionally unconstitutional.

The research shows that some political parties are perceived as voicing the people's interests in Ciptaker. First, PDI-P, with 25% of total respondents.

Second, Gerindra with 17%. Third, PKS, with 14.5%.

Fourth and fifth are Golkar and Democrat, with percentages of 11.9% and 11.6% respectively.

However, among the listed parties, the majority of respondents felt that none of them championed the people's interests through Ciptaker, namely 30.60%. This proportion is higher than that perceived for PDI-P.

Respondents were asked, "In your opinion, which political party has championed the people's interests in the Job Creation Perppu issue?" through CAWI (Computer Assisted Web Interviewing) or online interviews conducted from February 3-12, 2023.

At least 612 respondents were involved in this survey. The margin of error is 3.96% with a 95% confidence level.

The following are the percentages of respondent perceptions regarding political parties advocating for the people through Ciptaker:

* PDI-P 25% of total respondents
* Gerindra 17%
* PKS 15.5%
* Golkar 11.9%
* Democrat 11.6%
* NasDem 8.5%
* PKB 3.3%
* PPP 2.5%
* PAN 1.8%
* None 30.6%
