SA Politics Thread Part 11: The GNU Normal

[Priapus]

The party that got thrashed in 2024 and continues to lose seats overall in by-elections is gaining? Huh?

@TheChamp doesnt deal with facts. Just feels and propaganda.

They should filllow up with:

“And where does treasury get it from?”

I guarantee you the answer will be “They print it”.

Dumb 30%ers.

He is probably confusing the ANC with the DA, believe it or not, they are the one who have been losing seats to the ANC and PA.

And you ignore the continued electoral decline of the ANC.

I would be worried if we were losing votes to the DA, but the ANC is not losing votes to the DA, that's all that matters, votes to breakaway parties will be recovered as you have seen in KZN with MK.

I know you struggle with numbers champy but this isn't hard.

By-elections: May - December 2024

Trends in by-elections contested since the General Election

May - Dec. 2024

The ANC has been the clear loser over the period, contesting 49 wards and losing 14 (four each to the DA and IFP, three to MK, two to the PA and one to the LPSA). The party pared its losses by picking up two DA wards and one from an independent candidate to end the period with a net loss of 11 wards.

Dec. 2024 - March 2025.

The last three months of by-elections have been eventful. Although only 13 wards have been contested since mid-December 2024, five of these were lost by the incumbent party, with the African National Congress (ANC) featuring in all five battles. The uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party, which had been slow out of the gates since the 2024 election, smashed into the ANC’s china shop and delivered two defeats in the last two weeks.

Losing support to the DA is the worst thing that can ever happen. We might not like losing to the MK EFF or PA, but they are still not the DA, which is stuck at 20%.

Has this dislike for the DA (above all others) have anything to do with skin colour? Asking for a friend.

What colour would that be? I thought you DA lot did not see colour?

Only problem with you wet dream is that the DA will still be at 20% and someone else, maybe uBaba's party will be leading the government.

You should be glad the ANC is still the biggest party and can accommodate the DA.
