Cape Party launches bid for Western Cape independence

The Cape Party has changed its name and will contest the upcoming local government elections as the Cape Independence Party.

So how many votes do we think they'll get?

20000?

At least now lexity will have true support figures rather than surveys and random web forms....

Yip, after the election we'll be able to gauge their true support. (I'm predicting a very poor showing for the CIP)

Largely myself as well actually.

It will basically show whether this claimed "majority" support actually exists in the larger population and my guess is that it doesn't when it really matters.

 

[Thor]

This will never happen.

 

[WollieVerstege]

Great, maybe now we can finally get real answers to very real questions on how independence could possibly work and not a bunch of waffling.
Personally, I don't think this is going anywhere.

 

[Pineapple Smurf]

The ANC will never ever allow this to happen so stop your fantasies already Cape Party

 

[RonSwanson]

Can I vote for them even if I live in KZN?

 

[JohnStarr]

...at least they'll get 846 votes!

I doubt that they will run in KZN municipalities.

Good for the CIP to get on the ballot for the next election. I don't see them doing too well. I'd put their target at simply getting seats on WC councils.

 

[Scooby_Doo]

Can we have independence but keep the DA for the transition?

 

[Jugo]

South Africa has a lot of problems and very few solutions being offered, while some try fruitlessly to find solutions for themselves only and not the entire country. How sad.

What if I spend a week or two in Plett, what do I need to do to get on the voter's roll?

ID and proof of address to register. You also need to be back in Plett or whatever that district is to vote on election day.

How sad that you felt the need to say this, and actually spent the energy to type this out.

With that logic, then we should try solve all the problems for Africa too.

Yeah let me start solving Eskoms problems. How selfish of me to install PV panels and not fix Eskom.

 

[R13...]

Didn't lexity say this independence movement wasn't with the Cape party anymore?

 

[Scooby_Doo]

Exactly

I dont get it, like at all. People that keep saying that international players will get involved should ask the country of Catalonia how it went for them.
