anyone want to discuss ANC,DA, COPE politics ?

Beaten please, I put my case foward and stated why I support ANC. What more do you want. Dont blame me for your failure to change my mind. I am still ANC. What party are you by the way?

If you are unwilling to change your mind when entering into a debate, the purpose of the debate is meaningless. For me, the joy of a debate is the ability to influence others and be influenced by others. I find debating with someone who is closed minded a waste of time.

I don't blame you for your failure to change your mind, that is your choice, but when you are presented with an overwhelming argument that fails to make you change your mind, I will refuse to engage you any further, as we would reach a deadlock.

What party I vote for is immaterial. I have no loyalty to any party, and will choose the party that I vote for at election time on two criteria:
(1) What party's policies best suit my interests
(2) How well I believe that the party will be able to implement those policies. In making this decision, I will take into account the calibre of people in the party as well (where applicable) as the historical performance of the party (in this case, there are only two parties that I can judge on this criteria - The ANC as head of my province and the country, and the DA as head of my city).

As I said on the previous thread, I regard it my duty to defend democracy, and democracy functions best when people have no loyalty to a party, but perhaps are loyal to the people in the party.

I think siphox just started this thread because he felt like starting another argument - the last thread turned into a massive joke, especially since he's a pro at avoiding all the logical arguments and making intuitive leaps that require a great deal of smoking socks.

Frankly, I'm not interested in debating with you - you say you want us to convince you otherwise, but all you actually want to do is push your own agenda without actually listening to what anybody else has to say.

I remember Tassidar and marine1 participating in the previous thread - I'm sure they'll agree with me. You're welcome to vote ANC siphox ... don't let me hold you back. And no ... it does not mean I agree with you - I just simply don't have the patience to indefinitely bang my head against a brick wall.

+1

Your task is to convince me not to vote ANC, go ahead.

We don't need to convince you not to vote ANC. You can do that on your own.
