Do you think the DA would be happy to go back to government with the EFF's support if things don't work out between the ANC and EFF?

It depends.

I agree with Phalatse's view that there can be working relationships between DA and EFF, but nothing more than that (i.e. no coalescing).

So if EFF abandons ANC and gives their vote to UF again, I don't think they'll oppose it? I mean it would be moronic to go "Don't vote for us in council, we don't want your vote" or to somehow try and stop EFF from voting for them...

You don't think there should come a time where they accept that they don't have the numbers and just resign themselves to being an opposition? Do you think there is anything for them to benefit with this in and out of government?

I agree that it negatively impacts them but they're between a rock and a hard place.

If they don't at least contest to reenter government, then the citizenry will be unhappy with them...
If they get thrown to the wolves again shortly afterwards, the citizenry will be unhappy with them...

So... /shrugs
