Parties like the FF+ are worthless, as they yearn for days long gone to never return.
The ACDP, Agang and others are also minorities, that have a little bark but no effective bite..

Voting for them is still better than voting ANC or not voting.

And what about the FF+ made them win your vote?

Their policies are closest to the DA's without being the DA.

Lol, they have been doing road works for ages...it's almost completed and seeing the results have been well worth the headache of the inconvenience we have been subjected to. Myciti for one is awesome and the middle of blaauberg rd looks lovely with the greenery and foot/cycle paths.

My entire household (4 voters) are voting DA.

I don't think you support the ANC.

Anyway, do you not remember the fsckups with Ebrahim Rasool? The Chapman's Peak toll contract that the ANC administration signed? Not to even mention the eTolls that would have implemented without an inkling of opposition if the ANC were still in power there.

Look at the stats and see how they're running the province.



Because the Libertarian Party aren't participating in the election? :confused: :p

The DA appears to be the best of a bad bunch... I will most likely vote for them although they do not represent my views 100%.

Most likely this. I hate that they get my vote but it's better than the alternatives.

Free sewerage?
PS. our water and electricity tariffs are also stepped. Those were the cheapest that I quoted!!!
 
Now when I entered politics
To see the workers free
I left the Labour Party
And I joined the red CP
With bags of gold from Moscow boys
And tons of TNT
Oh tis my delight on a filthy night
To bomb the bourgeoisie

Let's restrict it to the people on this forum and specifically this thread. Check out some of the people who say they're voting DA and most of them look like they ought to be vote for some on the far right.

That is who I thought you were referring to, but I would like to know the policies you speak of.
