OP translated his previous chain of posts into English so that foreign observers can understand the gist of Indonesian political divisions.
Indonesian political parties does not work like how Western democracies generally work. They cannot be definitively divided into the left and right spectrum.
In one way or another, they work similarly to political parties in the Philippines. Parties were not formed by citizens with shared belief and ideology. They were formed by their founders top to bottom to serve the interest of the founders or patrons. They usually lack internal democracy in decision making and succession of leadership.
As a result, political parties are spineless. They often change their stances and beliefs following whatever the patrons of the parties think is good at the moment in time.
However, generally each political party projects a specific identity or branding that resembles political leanings found in the rest of the world. For example, one party brands itself as party of the poor, another brands itself as party for development in the regions, and other brands itself as the Muslim party.
There's nothing here!
