Provincial Referendums: Ideological Armageddon
Without the implicit threat of independence hanging over the negotiations, there is no chance whatsoever of achieving federalism. It can only realistically be obtained as the compromise between independence and the status quo.
"Western Cape voters, and the DA with them, are currently the sheep in ‘Democracy must be more than two wolves and a sheep voting over what’s for dinner’. This referendum is their best chance to become wolves."
Proposed referendum questions:
1. Do you want race-based policies such as affirmative action and BEE to be abolished in the Western Cape?
2. Would you like to see racial classification abolished in the Western Cape?
