The research method used is normative juridical with a statutory approach, concept approach, and case studies.

Coordination is carried out with the aim that the policy must be synergistic so that the policy becomes a shared responsibility. 2) Improvements in Policy-Making Institutions Supervision carried out by political parties to parliament, has a strategic role in formulating national policies, but parliament as a representative democratic system cannot run well without the presence of political parties that are intermediaries between political elites and constituents, so this can be an obstacle between people's aspirations and party interests.
