[ToxicBunny]

Only 40% likes the ANC... and dropping like a stone....

I don't even think that 40% likes the anc completely either.

If the local elections were to be held tomorrow, no one would work with the DA in a coalition except the Freedom Front.

I see this whole ordeal has been rather traumatic for you.

He's severely confused now as he constantly thought the ANC was in control of everything, and then they were force to fold...and forced to fold to the benefit of the 'evil DA'. Now this conflicts with his narrative. Poor thing.

Don’t know what you’re on about.

This is a massive win for the ANC… somehow.

I agree with a threshold, but I fear that anything over 1 - 1.5% will be unconstitutional.

I think the way our constitution is written any threshold would be unconstitutional.

I would suggest that a political party needs to prove itself at a local level before being able to register to compete at national maybe as a way around that.

No, I think as long as it is low, like 1%, it should be fine.

46. Composition and election​

1. The National Assembly consists of no fewer than 350 and no more than 400 women and men elected as members in terms of an electoral system that -


a. is prescribed by national legislation;


b. is based on the national common voters roll;


c. provides for a minimum voting age of 18 years; and


d. results, in general, in proportional representation.

But anything like 2%, 5% ( Germany) and 7% (Turkey) will definitely be unconstitutional.

The Mickey Mouse parties have no ambition to change anything once inside the National Assembly - just hope voters wake up to that and therefore give their votes to the DA (thinking about BOSA, Rise, AuctionSA and Good).

I think it would hinge on the elements of universal suffrage that are baked into the founding provisions.

I disagree. The universal right to vote has nothing to do with ensuring that there's proportional representation.

Will depend on how the courts would see it I suppose...

I agree with a threshold personally, but not sure the courts would.
