The SA Politics Thread Part 3

[Nom Chompsky]

The PA guy who got them 32% might not be happy at being replaced and cause problems, it would be a mistake to make the ANC guy a candidate, not like he was solid at the ANC with only 38% of the vote.

But it's almost certain that he will run as the PA candidate as he wouldn't have switched otherwise.

Any update on how the DA's attempts to win back VF+ voters are going?

Has not been too successful from what I've seen.

So instead of upping collections they'd rather increase rates? Some logic

This is the biggest problem with the DA. They have a social democracy mindset of European countries were government does everything and tax people to death. It can never work in SA, we simply do not have the taxpayer base with the disposable income.

And the services is really not that much better.

Let's hope the Twane budget fail and it gets put under administration.

Why?

Why?

#4792 and my previous post.

I asked why you want it to fail so that the anc is in control again.

WATCH: Mogale City DA's 'delay tactics' the 'last kick of a dying horse'? | The Citizen

The ANC and EFF want the Mogale City mayor gone.

www.citizen.co.za

The ANC wants the DA coalition dismantled over the Auditor-General’s report that flagged R28 million in fruitless and wasteful expenditure under Gray.

Ah well. At least they lasted a year and a half almost.

I assume another puppet mayor is on the cards?

Curious to see what happens there. Looks like ANC is at risk of losing the ward.

Most likely to the PA...

I have explained that. The DA is not doing anything better they have a completely wrong mindset of what needs to be done.

We do not need tariff increases and a bloated budget.
We do not need this idiot mayor to do the silly fake road safty nonsense he did on Easter weekend.

We need serious budget cuts, cheaper municipal bills and to get back to basics.

In this aspect I'm an accelerationist. If the DA is just going to fscked up anyway lets rather have the ANC in charge because they'll get to the bottom faster.

No.

 

[rietrot]

No.

You don't live here. Enjoy your DA run Capetown.
We are poor, we cannot pay for all of that DA goodness.

 

[Agent67]

You don't live here.

And? So you'd rather opt for a Doomsday coalition, cuz "then things will get to the bottom faster"...

Accelerationism is stupid at the very least.

Enjoy your DA run Capetown.
We are poor, we cannot pay for all of that DA goodness.

If only I could stay in CPT... But at the very least, my muni has a Moonshot coalition too...

In conclusion, cry.

You don't think the ANC will put up rates?

 

[rietrot]

You don't think the ANC will put up rates?

Hopefully they do and loot everything that is left so that we can start over.

 

[Agent67]

Nope, only evil, oppressive, socialist Moonshot gov does that.

if PA get that many votes it is probably a coloured area. They are politically confused. There is no hope.

I understand your pain.

 

[Agent67]

Now that's delusional.

The ANC wrecked the metros to the point, where the Moonshot coalitions are struggling to fix them. And now your solution is, to have ANC/Doomsday finally destroy the place because "then we can start over".

Start over with what, exactly? And how?
