It's very hard these days to find someone who admits to openly voting for the National Party or Conservative Party. A lot are either long-time DA/DP supporters or were for the struggle.
They all left for aus. The ones here still are the yes voters from the referendum.

That's where I am as well. I actually believe that if we did "blind tests" on individuals on policies, many DA supporters would actually find they more closely align with the FF than the DA (take a short read of the 2019 FF+ manifesto) but because the FF is regarded as a bit of a joke by the media (including much of the English-language media), there is no contemplation of voting for the FF even if you are unhappy with the DA.

This tweet from a DA supporter kind of sums it up for me:


They are a joke. They have made videos on YouTube which is sympathetic to the Afrikaner genocide conspiracy theory. They are right-wing populists but will grow in the upcoming elections.

Well even if they did target blacks they will never get many black votes. You honestly think blacks will support a white party no matter how good they are?
Exactly, so they can only go so far as the opposition then.
