The present study intends to investigate the use of substitution in students’ expository texts. It covers the types of substitution used by the students in their expository texts and the contribution of substitution to the texts’ cohesion. This study uses qualitative research through case study design. The participants in this study are nine students of twelfth grade in a public senior high school in Kuningan. The data in the present study are the documents of students’ expository texts. The data are analyzed by using the frameworks of cohesive devices proposed by Halliday and Hasan (1976). The findings indicate that there is only one substitution found in this study namely nominal substitution. The present study also delineates that the use of substitution contributes to the process of avoiding repetition and text redundancy. Furthermore, it can be concluded that the use and the contribution of substitution in students’ expository texts are still considered low. Thus, the encouragement is very necessary for the students to use appropriate substitution to make their texts more cohesive.

Political parties use social media to engage with voters as a method of attract new voters or reinforcing the views of political parties’ current supporters. An important consideration is the ethical conduct of political parties and politicians in how they use social media. It is now recognized that social media can also have negative aspects seen by the introduction of Fake News.

AbstractThe general election is activities of citizens, which are held every five years. In this activity the General Election Commission (KPU) as the organizer prepares all the needs to run elections based on related regulations, which has been changed several times. In former regulation, there is no stipulation on independent candidate nor  single-candidate local leader election. Political parties has roles to fulfil, two of them are political education and regeneration of political cadres. There are 17 political parties in Tasikmalaya but none of them nominate their best cadres. This article tries to describe the implications of single candidate in head of regency election to political parties. By applying qualitative research and empirical-juridical approach, it shows that there was an agreement between political parties in 2015 Tasikmalaya head of regency election to advocate single candidate, while independent candidates as alternative choice for people should fulfil various requirements that hindered their candidacies. Normatifly this phenomena has legal base with the Constitutional Court Decision No. 100/PUU/XIII/2015 that granted Effendi Ghazali’s plead, but substantially damaging democracy. It is feared to occur that a candidate who has strong financial backup influences political elite to support single candidacy. This condition can also discourage political partied to generate new cadres that has great capabilities to compete in general elections.Keywords:head of regency election, single candidate, political party Abstrak Pemilihan Umum adalah kegiatan warga Negara yang diselenggarakan setiap lima tahun sekali, dalam kegiatan ini KPU sebagai lembaga penyelenggara memper­siapkan segala kebutuhan untuk berjalannya pemilihan. Regulasi UU yang berkaitan dengan pemilihan kepala daerah sudah mengalami beberapa perubahan. UU sebelumnya tidak mengatur  calon tunggal dalam konstestasi pilkada. Munculnya fenemona calon tunggal mendorong Mahkamah Konstitusi mengeluarkan  putusan untuk diper­silahkan­nya calon tunggal. Uniknya salah satu tugas peran dan fungsi partai politik adalah edukasi politik, kaderisasi, lembaga yang kompetitif dalam pilkada, tidak mau mencalonkan dari kader-kader terbaiknya, padahal jumlah partai saat ini di Kabupaten Tasikmalaya sudah mencapai 17 partai. Tujuan tulisan ini adalah untuk memaparkanimplikasi calon tunggal kepala daerah Kabupaten Tasikmalaya terhadap partai politik. Dengan pendekatan yuridis empiris, hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat kesepakatan antar parpol pada masa pemilu tahun 2015 di Kabupaten Tasikmalaya untuk mengusung satu pasangan saja. Adapun calon perseorangan sebagai pilihan alternatif dihadapkan pada persyaratan yang menghambat proses pencalonan. Secara normatif hal tersebut tidak menjadi masalah dengan munculnya Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi No. 100/PUU/XIII /2015, namun secara substansi demokrasi hal tersebut berdampak buruk. Dikhawatirkan muncul kecenderungan pasangan calon yang mempunyai modal besar untuk membayar elit-elit politik agar dapat mempengaruhi munculnya calon tunggal serta mengurangi kemampuan organisasi dalam mencetak kader dan pemimpin yang mampu bersaing di arena pemilu.Kata kunci: Pemilihan Kepala Daerah, kandidat tunggal, partai politik.

In converting the ballots achieved by political parties to legislative seats, the General Election Commission (KPU) in Indonesia uses different Voter Divider Numbers (BPP) in each electoral district. Determination of the amount of BPP is done by dividing the number of valid ballots for all political parties with the number of seats available in the electoral district in one region. Using the 2009 election case study in Tegal district, this study explained that the conversion model resulted in a large gap between the percentage of ballots achieved in the election and the percentage of seats gained in the legislature. This is due to the large number of party ballots lost in each electoral district in one region. Thus, there is a need for regulations that regulate the determination of the BPP which can minimize the ballots’ lost. Thus, the percentage of ballots obtained by political parties tends to be the same as the percentage of seats gained in the legislature.
