Then indeed the DA voters are sheep. All voters are sheep

Not sure why anyone would think otherwise

Not sure why anyone would think that being involved in having a say as to who governs you, and who looks after your living environment, would be called a sheep.

Doubt it will happen, that will give the DA all the major metros that anyone cares about really...

Ain't no way Panty will abide by such a thing for Gauteng.

Oh you think politicians care. How quaint

This Election really was a train smash wasn't it...

Ah you're in Tshwaneville. You're about to hit the FAFO phase of voting

But never fear. I will be there to point and laugh all the way

The difference with the DA is that Cilliers Brink is very effective when he is out of government, ask the people of Mamelodi, Cilliers built a whole road there with his own money.

DA even said before the election they might not want JHB. I think they are prepared to let the ANC and ASA take it and let it fail.

Its actually harder to fix things than win the metro.
Its more of a risk to fix it with a massive coalition

I think this is a rudimentary view. There is so much low hanging fruit in CoJ that it won't take much for a party to appear competent. It's as much a risk for DA to resign itself to the opposition benches as it is for the ANC to allow ASA to continue in Tshwane.

I imagine it would have to be a deal whereby the ANC gets to keep CoJ otherwise it makes zero sense for them.

The clever ones i.e. DA realise that to get into power (and stay there) they have to do some work.

It's quaint that you don't get this

A who road?

You gesuip?

If the ANC do a deal with the DA, the ANC would gain something like 97 councils and the DA 24.

Giving them JHB would be nothing.

 

[OutlawJoseyWales]

You calling DA supporters/voters in CT sheep?

Those were ShaunSA's words, I used them sarcastically.

"The sheep" done a good job by getting out and voting. the DA back into power.
The only decent place left to live in SA.

Doing some work to fool the sheep is now caring?

 

[Splinter]

Doing some work to fool the sheep is now caring?

Who said I said they cared?

I just care about getting the ones that do some work elected. Or do you not care about the difference between living in CT versus Joburg?

Or are you dumber than a sheep?

 

[Nom Chompsky]

Oh you think politicians care. How quaint

I will admit it is rare, but there are some outstanding DA councilors in CT. Not my one unfortunately (safe DA seat - he could basically do nothing for 5 years and achieve the same result because people tend to vote for the party more than the specific councilor), but others seem very active and able to get stuff done for residents.

97 troughs to feed at would indeed be preferable to them than no or less troughs.
