Obliterate private property rights where all are equal before the law?

Sure.... but nobody's perfect. 🤷‍♂️

If you were to torture her, I bet you'd find out she's as innocent as any granny 🍷


What other practical choice do we have?

Close to getting one though...


This DA better pull its socks up and at least do the fix work needed everywhere. Else it's going down too next time


Realistically speaking... Will you still be alive.....

Old Libertarians never die, they just become ghosts bound to the unfinished business of Ludwig von Mises. (AI 🤷‍♂️)
 
With vote counting is still going on, the FF has exceeded their record vote haul in 2019 of 414k votes and are currently on 435k votes on the PR ballot. As I said, given that 2019 was a national election with higher turnout, this is genuine growth.
 
So they achieved exactly what they set out to do, and yet the haters here are trying to make out like it was an abject failure…. Make it make sense

Also in the WC specifically, people who don't live here don't realise how hard it is to peel off DA support because the DA generally governs competently, so why change the vote? I mean the FF only got 2000 votes in CT as late as 2011. They look like they will just get below 40k now.
 
So, it appears the FF+ has doubled their number of seats in the Cape Town city council, in this LGE.

Seats won 2021: 4
Seats won 2021: 8

All of the seats are PR votes i.e. none were won by votes for ward councillors.

And if AI is to be believed, a seat corresponds, roughly, to 5000 voters. So, an extra 20k votes.

I think at this stage it would be mind-numbingly stupid to suggest there hasn't been strong growth since the merger of RP membership(8k) into the FF+.

Having said that..... the FF+ is still a very uninfluential part of the greater whole. With 8 seats.

And one also wonders what level of change in pressure they will bring to bear - using those extra seats - upon a DA that serves not the people of the WC but their own political ambitions and the globalist ambitions of their biggest donors.

They have been in parliament and in the CPT council for 33 years by now. I don't recall any FF+ councillor being literally (and illegally)turfed out for speaking truth to power.

Paul Jacobson?

The official story is that he resigned for personal reasons, but the DA propaganda factory tried to spin it as if he were under disciplinary review by the FF+ - which they categorically denied. What we do know is he regularly and loudly bumped heads with DA councillors and their agendas.

Your post means little to nothing without any meaningful context.

There were many complaints lodged against Jacobson during his 5 years as a councillor, and one would assume and hope that due process was followed with each complaint received.

It was, however, clearly stated that his resignation had nothing to do with any complaints or internal disciplinary process.

should that be the case, may i suggest you re-read your own context-free post

It was, however, clearly stated that his resignation had nothing to do with any complaints or internal disciplinary process.
