The PKS's political double face is very dangerous. As a member of the coalition, the PKS should have supported the government policy. So the party has shown inconsistency.

The PKS violated the coalition code of ethics. Therefore, the party should get out of the coalition and withdraw its ministers. It would be wiser and more honorable than having President Yudhoyono kick the party out of the coalition.

Some members have tried to polish the image of the party. But their rejection of the government's plan to reduce fuel subsidies while the party is also a part of President Yudhoyono's coalition just worsens the party image.

As a member of the coalition, the PKS should support the decision of the other members.

Furthermore, all members of the Coalition have signed an agreement to support the government. It is clear that the PKS contravenes its obligations and, therefore, SBY as chairman of the coalition and as head of the government should immediately throw the PKS out of the coalition and replace the PKS.

The Prosperous Justice Party did the right thing by rejecting the government's plan to reduce fuel subsidies so now most of the unlucky poor people think that the PKS cares about them and forget the corruption of the PKS former leader.

Although it is justified in a democratic country to oppose policies, the PKS must stick to the code of conduct which they have already signed.

Rejecting the government's plan means that the PKS has violated the code of conduct and consequently they have to leave the coalition.

The PKS must be consistent with their rebellion and realize that being a member of the ruling coalition isn't the right position.

The coalition is formed for the people. Rejecting or accepting a policy is natural.

Criticizing a party for rejecting or accepting the government's plan is childish.

Since the coalition was formed, the interests of the people are number one.
