They don't. Without buy-in from ANC in Parly, their legislation won't pass. It is what it is.

Trying to pass legislation is the stupid part.
They are already free to make whatever coalition agreements they wish. They don't need additional coalition laws for that. Think about this for a minute. They want to force parties like PA to behave, and what if they don't? We are going to have years long court cases about it.
This is the most pathetic Karen way for the DA to try and legislate themselves friends.

If they do that then I'll become right wing.

ON THE RECORD | 1% electoral threshold mooted to bring stability to local government | News24
The country has since seen massive instability in critical municipalities, and motions of no-confidence have resulted in mayors being replaced.www.news24.com
Should be 5%. That is the national threshold in Germany.

You cannot become right wing. You are either born with it or you are not, it takes a certain amount of intelligence.

Everything the Germans do is bad. If the Germans have a 5%(or any) threshold for minor parties then we should do the exact opposite and not have it.

You can pretend, but it will never be real.

In all standard democracies that use PR, electoral thresholds are a thing. To prevent the scattering of parties and seats and the total chaos we've experienced the past few years.
The same with limiting MONCs and extending the time allowed to form a government.
It isn't stupid. And how will they legislate themselves, friends, through this exactly?
We're moving into uncharted territory, which requires new rules of engagement (i.e. legislation).
IMO 5% is too extreme for SA. 2% is better.

Yes, so they can issue a warrant for the ANC on treason charges.

Oi! Leave me out of this...
No.. IFP being pragmatic. Why sign a coalition agreement when you have no idea what the results look like. For all we know the IFP may sweep kzn and get a majority.IFP Bad

You keep trying to predict DA supporters' views and you are mostly wrong. The current arrangement in KZN between the IFP and DA is working fantastically well, where the most bigger of the two parties compete with the ANC for wards. The ANC in KZN is in absolute shambles.

School run crackdown: EMPD puts brakes on officials misusing municipal vehicles | The Citizen
A marked police BMW was among the government cars seized by cops this week.

I don't understand on what grounds were they arrested as this looks like a labour disciplinary issue, but maybe there are laws pertaining to the use police vehicles.
But It's a good thing that they are doing something about it.

Makes sense. They haven't rejected Moonshot, they just said "Hey, we can work together, but we aren't gonna sign anything before 2024".IFP Bad

IFP and DA are working well together in KZN and nationally... So I don't know what you were attempting here?
