TRICKS INCREASE THE ELECTABILITY OF POLITICAL FIGURE TO 73 PERCENT

Since the opening of the tap of the election simultaneously by the government, then every year the focus of political analysts discussions is always struggling who is a popular political figure and has a high elektability .

 

Not taboo, indeed the year 2016 - 2019 already known public as the public year.

The existence of such a situation then encourage political parties and figures who are interested to join the fight in the democracy party, start pairs of horses.

Undeniably, the party of democracy is always synonymous with the rain of money. That saw the situation is quite severe, ultimately Goenawan Muhammad a prominent author spoke through his article in the magazine July 27, 2016, insinuating that political life has turned into stalls and outlets, kiosks and show-room.

Regardless of the sarcasm, a simple question that always comes out when meeting someone, whether a strong political figure A in your area? Whether it's just an ears heaven for you, your friends simply answer, oh very strong.

The question is, where do you know if the position of a political figure is strong?

Strength of Political Figure

Measuring the strength of figures of political figures who run for regional heads is not an easy matter. We can not make a false conclusion, that A's political figure is strong on the basis of just talking about a handful of people.

 

Strong interpretation has a winged sense, can also be translated a certain political figure is quite popular because of a good track record or because of poor track record but about whether to be elected people, not necessarily.

 

So, the popularity of a person is just an entrance but not everything.

At this point, it takes another measure with what is called the elektability of a political figure. It would be great if the popularity and elektabilitas go together like ants when transporting food.

 

According to Hasanudin Ali, CEO of Alvara Research Center the level of elektability or the election of a political figure is influenced by 3 factors such as popularity, image, and inner bond.

Popular in the eyes of the voting community does not mean to sit in the number one ranking of the candidates. Most importantly, he is still in the top 3 so it still has enough room to be elected.

Then image, this image factor concerns character and ability of political figure. Candidate image of a low profile, cheap smile, not hard to meet very liked the community.

However, Corner and Pels said that political activities that only prioritize political imagery, without accompanied by the strengthening of political self-qualities, in the end merely only nihilisme.

 

Therefore, building the image of certain political figures must be supported by good communication skills such as able to provide concrete solutions to community problems. That will further boost its popularity which leads to elektability .

 

Nimmo in his book Political Communications, Audience and Effects, said the image is all things related to the daily situation of a person, concerning knowledge, feelings and tendency towards something. So the image can change with the passage of time.

 

As for the inner bond, it is the deep emotional connection of the candidate and the voting community. This will be created if the voting community feels no distance between them and the candidate. Why should emotional bonds be built? The dose is simple, because the line of familial relations is not there at all. 

To enter the phase of building the only emotional bonding bond is to touch their point of interest. How can we know what the voters' interests are? To be able to know what the voters' interests are, the most plausible way is by the blouse method.
