IMO I think if VF+ and IFP merged into one big conservative party, they'll be quite the electoral force in SA.

Because let's be real, there ain't much difference between the two except perhaps their target markets and history, but their general ideologies link up relatively.

That is like asking Al Jamaah and the ACDP to merge.

They agree on some issues but are catering for different communities who will not be able to relate to each other on all issues even know some surface level issues may overlap like is also the case with Al Jamaah and the ACDP.

It will be much better if they stay as seperate entities and work together in coalition.

Check the leadership of ActionSA and the DA's in the link I posted.

DA's support is neatly split into thirds between Whites, Blacks, and Coloured/Indians. ASA's support is majority White, with next to no rep among Coloured and Indian voters, and Black voters coming in second.

Now that's radically different.

Of course, it would be nonsensical for a Christian Democrat party and a Muslim party to merge... (Since they're radically different)

But VF+ and IFP are truly not that different. They have a lot of policy overlap, the only difference is target markets...

Turning point: Diverse DA now the biggest political party in urban South Africa

And why is it fantastical if I may ask?

Doesn't look believable at all.

Indians voting for DA, yeah, sure. When they get the best of both worlds by outwardly supporting DA and actually voting for ANC, why TF would they vote for DA?

Like your friend Sipho in Soweto, don't guys here have a Rajesh in Lenasia who tells you these things?

What is the point of this?

"Or for the other two elections, where there are multiple candidates and one division for the federal chair where there are three candidates."

He added delegates would have to rank every candidate by whom they preferred the most and "that candidate will be given the highest ranking right through to the candidate they prefer the least".
