The SA Politics Thread Part 6

Did Hammanskraal raise the issues with their DA ward councillor?

What issues?

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

What issues?

The issues that are getting worse in the less affluent areas where they're governing...

 

[rietrot]

Newbie here, why are all the impoverished provinces voting mostly ANC? Is it because the ANC is the best party to uplift them?

The ANC is the Great Liberation Movement and they have a stupid commie black tribalism.

 

[Priapus]

You got that right, DA makes things worse where they govern in less affluent areas, just look at Tshwane.

For someone whose party is the worst performing this election you still can’t stop thinking about the DA.

With hung Parliament predicted, NC opposition parties consider possibility of working together

As it stands now, the African National Congress (ANC) has 112,000 votes while the rest of the parties have a combined 111,000 votes.

Democratic Alliance (DA) chairperson, Harold McGluwa, and Patriotic Alliance premier candidate, Sherifa Ferris, agreed that if their predictions were correct and the ANC got below 50%, that the remaining parties could agree to work together.

Those were way beyond the level of the councillor.

Could you imagine ANC loosing a majority in a place like NC.

Besides that, DA and PA (and off chance EFF) possibly working in a coalition in NC? Wasn't on my prediction card.

No and I still don’t think they would work together.

So how long does a new government need to be formed after an election?

 

[Agent67]

So how long does a new government need to be formed after an election?

14 days. Or rather a Speaker and President elected after 14 days anyway.

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

Those were way beyond the level of the councillor.

Which were also way beyond the level of the mayor. I'm glad you can see where this is going...

 

[Nom Chompsky]

PA votes going to rapidly run out of stream. NC about 25% more VDs to count in entire province.

Swellendam, Cederberg, Oudshoorn, Prince Albert, Beaufort West - all rural WC munis --> finished counting.

I guess Knysna and George are fairly big, so they have that to look forward to.

The count so far in uMngeni. DA at 70% with 13% counted. MK in second with 14%.

5 hours later:

DA at 50%
MK doubled.

No, they weren't, the Mayor is the olis the official accounting authority for those issues.

They will celebrate their campaign either way as they have made gains compared to what they were.

Post election, there is going to be an onslaught on them from the Blue Machine strategic and PR team so that is a battle that they need to prepare for.

 

[TheChamp]

Probably asked before, but if the ANC does not get 50%+nationally do they still get to choose a president?

Don't listen to all those guys lying to you, the President has never been chosen by the ANC, he has always been chosen by the members of parliament, whoever has the most MPs always gets the President.

 

[ToxicBunny]

Don't listen to all those guys lying to you, the President has never been chosen by the ANC, he has always been chosen by the members of parliament, whoever has the most MPs always gets the President.

So much copium.

That's what we said, it's a you problem if you're seething so hard to understand.
