They need to publish the list of who attended, and who declined and who just didn't bother to pitch.

You don't, it's a secret ballot. They always encourage the ANC to vote worth their conscience but don't want their own members to do the same...

Yeah these people voted with their conscience when they brought back the ANC...

Money exchanged hands and the voters who put these Councillors there should know who betrayed them.

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

Ok, look. The way I see it...

If this was truly a "vote of conscience" issue, like maybe dealing with a MONC or something like that which is high-stakes, then I'd agree with you here.

But where does the conscience come in with simply electing a new mayor from scratch (with completely new candidates)? With the coalition partners having decided on a single candidate without fierce resistance, expect maybe a few whines? There are already allegations of vote buying like in JHB with the COPE Antie's election (with ASA accusing Tau of this).

Voting with your conscience means making up your own mind about who to vote for, which may or may not align with the party line. It's not about specific issues rooted in morality...

Ahh, document your intention so that they don't struggle finding you, whoever came up with the idea is a genius.

Based on this tweet I'm expecting Elon Musk as Electricity Minister, Robocop as the Police Minister and John D. Rockefeller as the Finance Minister.

In reality we'll get some backbencher cadres who will give a maximum of 1-2 eish's per loadshedding stage. Which is maybe better than the 3-4 eish's we currently get

You keep saying rule, like that's a good thing.

They say a lot of things; that they think are good…

Not sure why anyone believes Julius will be anywhere near the top. Won’t even be DP of SA.

What principles?

DA essentially believes that BEE is the new apartheid. That principle is abandoned if they have coalition with ANC.

They must start calling Zuma, Ace, Cele "comrade" otherwise they must start practicing saying "President Malema."
