Abstract
The democratic political system has become the choice in many countries among the existing political systems, because this system is considered to be near the ideal, including by the Islamic States. This study aims to find answers to the formulation of the problem, namely how the dynamics of the democracy implementation in Indonesia since the old order to the order of reform for 75 years (1945-2020) because of the implementation of democracy in Indonesia contains many problems. The methods used in this research were qualitative, literature study, and a historical, phenomenological, sociological, and normative approach. The findings of this study were that each regime modified democracy in accordance with the wishes of the authorities. There was liberal democracy, guided democracy, Pancasila democracy, and liberal democracy return. The Pancasila democracy was apparently not a complete democracy, but a quasi-democracy, an unusual democracy, a half-hearted democracy, or procedural democracy. The reform era, which initially hoped that the nation's condition was getting better, turned out not to be expected. Because the people involved directly in the general election were not completely ready with their rational choices full of consideration. Returning to representative democracy is the right choice. This research is about democracy in the view of Islam and Pancasila, which recommends: returning to representative democracy is the right choice according to the wishes of Pancasila.
