The DA is in total crisis.

Sorry but I am not from a millennial generation where everyone is a winner. I need to know the best of the traitor.

And what is your conclusion?

And what is your conclusion?

All in good time, Comrade.

The DA has been steadily bleeding black skilled talent in the organisation while pushing at the same time for the scrapping of race-based policies.

"While Mbali Ntuli says conflict around race is not the driving force behind her resignation from the Democratic Alliance (DA)"

So it's not about race, then goes and makes it about race, she needs some introspection.

Well I guess if there's not much to complain about the DA....then this is all the media has.

Multiple ANC members? Mbali, Trollip, Bongani were not just members of the DA, were they? I am sure many other members of the DA leave the party all the time and they don't make news.

If a former provincial leader of the ANC resigns from the party, it will certainly make news, it made news when Lekota resigned, it also made news when Makhosi Khoza resigned.

It's a sign of a failing opposition and entrenched the idea that it's a party for white people. Of course the media is going to report it

Why is it failing in your mind?

I don't understand the question.

Lol, I wonder if this guy is here among us and was one calling for this thread to be locked.

Some DA members raised concerns at a meeting that one of the immediate threats facing the organisation is not the ANC or the EFF but instead, one of its coalition partners.

Where to for the DA, and SA? - OPINION | Politicsweb

Helen Zille explains the best and worst case scenarios she set out at the recent BizNews conference

www.politicsweb.co.za

Another incisive article from Aunty Helen.

These paragraphs are definitely worth thinking about -- the largely clueless electoral analysts who have never run a coalition vs. somebody who has had vast experience of running a coalition.

Some analysts welcome the emerging plethora of new parties. They describe this as a reflection of multi-party democracy in action. These commentators have clearly never tried to run a complex coalition government. The general rule of thumb is that the more parties in a coalition, the more difficult it is to run an effective government. In some municipalities there are coalitions comprising up to nine parties. Inevitably excessive amounts of time, energy and resources are spent merely trying to hold the government together, rather than on driving a delivery agenda.

It is also wrong to assume that the myriad of tiny parties know what they stand for, or that they are all motivated by high principles. The proliferation of parties in a proportional system enables any person with a small local following to scrape together enough votes to win a seat in the local council. And in a closely contested election, that single seat often holds the balance of power.

As tiny parties pursue their interests, the inevitable result is frequent “side switching”, with governments changing on the whim of an individual pursuing better patronage prospects. This instability only exacerbates the country’s decline.

The only way to prevent this, as other countries with proportional representation systems have learnt, is to introduce a reasonable minimum threshold that must be reached in order to win a seat in a Council or Parliament.
