and legislative) no longer lays down the law and political decision in spledid
isolation, but always open to voice that arise from public over many media an
organization that vocally and in civil society who played in6luence over
politics system (the leader: executive, judicative, and legislative). Habermas
said that deliberative politic get the power of legitimation from structure of
opinion discursive and the formation of will that able to full6ill of its
integration function as social only because citizen hope that the result have a
rational quality. If deliberation democracy to be a reference of national
leadership, so that the dreams to realized the strong and welfare of national
state otomatically was real. In other word, the leadership problem that we
