Jakarta – Lawmakers from the Golkar Party are more competent than their fellow lawmakers at the House of Representatives, a survey concluded.

The survey, carried out by research and consulting institute Ovolution Indonesia, from December 2010 to January 2011, assessed the politicians' communication skills and networking by interviewing 53 legislators.

"Golkar has the most competent members," the institute's Andi Syafrani was quoted as saying by news portal vivanews.com.

He explained that most of the legislators questioned admitted that Golkar politicians were more skilled and better known than lawmakers from other parties.
