SA Politics Thread Part 11: The GNU Normal

[Agent67]

What's interesting is that ANC + MK + EFF is at 58%,

Going by the graph, it seems DA is slowly but surely winning over the moderate ANC voters, while MK is winning over EFF and ANC RET...

so the GLM as a whole has declined...

Don't start with that please

Yeah the trend lines are relatively interesting on that graph.

If they play out into the longer term, the ANC is going to be replaced by the MK, and the DA is slowly but surely eating into the moderate support base.

The EFF will become an ASA in relatively short order at their current trajectory.

No one can beat the DA in a poll.

For once I agree with Gayton.

P.S. Of course, the Actioneer runs to their defence...

Yup. Affirming Gogo's view that once the ANC is gone it'll be the moderates (led by DA) vs the RETs (atm led by MK)

The EFF will become an ASA in relatively short order at their current trajectory.

Best comedy, ASA and EFF end up merging...

Don't worry about us and polls, rather focus on your "Dialogue" becoming a monologue and the imminent collapse of your party...

Can you imagine a senior leadership meeting between Julius and Herman??

I'd stream it for shytes and giggles.

That assumes uBaba lives. His stokvel dies with him and they'll all go back to the ANC...

It is frustrating that the DA seems stuck in the middle 20s.

I doubt it. They'll either head to EFF or create a new RET party.

Bwahahahahaha Squirrels taxpayer funded election campaign is falling apart before its even started.

The looting movement and couch stuffer have got what they want out of it already, sweet sweet tenders for the cadres and themselves. The rest is unimportant.

As do I...

I shall raise a dop this afternoon in honour of all these foundations telling the GLM to get bent.

No one to share the dialogue funds so more for rest of us. Yippie. I shall raise dop too.

No comment about the withdrawals from the farcical National Dialogue?

I see when things fall apart for your ANC, you naturally deflect and post news about other parties. Interesting. I wonder where you learnt such tactics.

Let's see if you can explain this one, in 2019 the money meant for the Rooiwal water treatment plant disappeared, not a single official was fired by the DA administration.

5 years later in 2024 the officials implicated in the corruption were hauled before a disciplinary hearing and subsequently fired.

In 2025 the officials appealed the ruling and the court ordered them to be reinstated.

Now tell me, if it's so easy to fire officials why does it seem so impossible for the DA?

The answer there is a definite NO.
No one was fired by the DA, but then later they were fired (by someone other than the DA I presume?) only for that to be overturned by a court? I'm not understanding what you are trying to say here.

Allow Gogo to cook.

Helen Zille says DA relying on ANC’s disintegration to become majority party

DA is the second-largest party in the GNU, but sees itself becoming the majority party over the next decade
