why not do both at the same time. get their majority down and get them out as the ruling party. scattered votes across 20 parties vs 1 big one, is not a good thing if you want to get the big 1 to not be the ruler.

Because I don't feel that the DA deserves my vote when they don't appear to have any accountability.

I have the opportunity right now to move everything to Canada and/or the Cayman's, this is considered as options in my books. However, showing positive growth here, won't make me leave, but expansion on the other hand.

Lucky you. I have to go through the Australian government to get a visa. Sucks to be me

Why not do it anyway? Have you ever lived abroad? Could be a fun experience. :)

lol, seriously? It's a political gamble that didn't pay off, not Nkandla 2.0.
 
Wyzak said:
I didn't vote for the ANC, but nice try. They also have no accountability, which is why I find the DA's stance so hypocritical.



LOL, that's like the ANC predicting that the ANC will win 260 seats.

So you wasted a vote on a smaller party with no hope of changing anything. Great you should be so proud.

You should also be so proud for basically saying that someone voted wrong for voting for their option instead of yours.

Its about strategic voting, all politicians are corrupt but none as basically as arrogant as the ANC or EFF. So kindly go play in traffic.

Enjoy paying towards the NHI and when you have to go to hospital and the NHI coffers are dry. :)

I do have plans in motion in regard with Canada, but it is to establish the business there in order to enable us to work closer with partnerships. Moving my residency at this stage, no. I have never been outside our continent, but have visited and traversed through most countries here, also never have lived permanently outside the Western Cape. There was also a good chance me being a Malawian today.

Well, if you don't have obligations that prevent you from moving it could be fun to do it. Even if only for a while.

Your strategy doesn't equal everyone else's strategy. How has your strategy been working for SA so far?

Totally dude, the MyBB logic of "his opinion differs from mine so therefore ANC". It was funny at some point but now it's just sad.

Well my vote counted a tiny bit at giving the DA a bit more grasp. But voting for a party i.e. such as KISS would have just been a waste, or even Agang with a pathetic 11K votes. ANC will always be in power because of the total power struggle and disjointed views in this country.

You cant follow things properly? If they get 2/3rds they change constitution willy nilly, implement secrecy bill, implement NHI and rape it dry. Not entirely sure what your comment had to do with anything regarding that. But okay sure whatever you say.

Everyone's strategy is dependent on everyone else following suit. Imagine if you and everyone you know voted for KISS? I mean, since we're voted along "least corrupt" lines, I've never heard of or seen a KISS corruption scandal, so why did you not vote for KISS? KISS seems like the best choice actually. I should have voted KISS. Damn.
