...just got me thinking: ok, so its fairly obvious that opposition votes are more or less symbolic in nature (apart from municipalities - as in: Western Cape = DA or whatever hodge podge alliances are currently intact) but when it comes to the position of President maybe it would be more democratic (I know how ridiculous it sounds I mean either its democratic or its not, we know the story though) to allow voting for an individual, USA style.

I for one would be tempted to cast a vote Sexwales way in the knowledge that there is zero chance of any party other that the ANC coming to power, at least you could still influence what happens within that party.

Thoughts?

I would never vote ANC, if I did I wouldn't be able to complain about certain idiots/scumbags/terrorists in govt like manto,selebi & mcbride coz I helped put them there.

that's why I voted Kerry

But don't be fooled so easily, the US is not 1 vote straight to candidate. There is something called theElectoral College

There is always a way for the powers to be to take the democracy out of a democracy.

Well i have always thought that all politicians are pond scum, and should be dealt with accordingly (you should be able to unlock new weapons and treasure for every number of politicians you kill).

I still think we should have a female p0rn star as president, as least then I know that the president is the one getting screwed and not me
