Scrap the constitution and let the majority decide: Manyi

Mzwanele "Jimmy" Manyi says that the South African government should consider scrapping the country's constitution and move to a different form of governance led by a Parliamentary majority.

Why is this troll getting air time in the news again?

If we scrap the constitution, can we then deprive this twat of his right to life?

He said that the PPF’s view was that ‘majoritarianism’ should be the base construct for democracy in South Africa – a political system where the majority is given primacy in society, and in effect make all the decisions – and that the current constitutional democracy should be debated.

If we had trustworthy leaders and if our voters voted were more mature (politically) then maybe, but at the moment the constitution is saving us from our leaders IMHO.

Since we are talking about the impossible:
1) Scrap the constitution.
2) Remove voting rights for black people.
3) ??!???!!
4) Profit?

Manyi on Nyope again

It's never going to happen, because the ANC will never again get a two-thirds majority.

So I wonder, Jimmy - should the BLM movement in the USA be ruthlessly crushed because they're a minority?

 

[Segg]

Lol, he's not even being subtle in wanting free reign, that's the fastest way to turn SA into Zim v2.0

This is a question that should be posed to him, it will be very telling to see him get all flustered and try and back out of his retarded idea.

This is like giving the fox the keys to the hen-house.

50.1% is pretty doable though.

Jimmy is a condom.

What is this new narrative the Gupta PR machine is trying to spin...

And that doesn't let them scrap the constitution.

They won't even need their 2/3rds for that. They need 75% which they've never had.

Get rid of parliament completely. Let common law and the constitution guide us.

Why does parliament even exist?

Idealist: To create laws that reflect the views of the majority
Reality: To allow unqualified morons impose their values on people.

Condoms are useful

Condoms are useful

Unless they're government issued condoms stapled to a leaflet...

Let majority decision be made by e-referendum. Nice and simple.

+1 .... where e = electronic.

but -1 where e is used as a preposition.
