I agree with Maimane. We want to see the players at the table and who wants what. Why should it be behind closed doors?

I agree that it should be out in public but for very different reasons to him... He's just bitter the voting public shunned him.

Gayton only understands power. He's going to find parliament incredibly boring with his mickey mouse party.

I think he's going to find parliament very frustrating because he won't understand the separation between department operations and department policy and also all the different legal processes he has to follow to get things done.

He's going to get frozen out on a lot of it. He's used to being kingmaker and has become addicted to that brand of politics.

In Parly yes. At the coalition negotiations... highly unlikely anyone's going to be looking for those single seaters soon

The Others can give the ANC a majority, but it would be incredibly difficult to keep together. ANC has a choice to get into bed with the other big three, with them only requiring another small party with the EFF *cough*PA*cough*.

So Gayton says he wants Home Affairs.

What he actually wants is to deport immigrants and not allow any in.

As far as I know, the minister of home affairs doesn't make government policy.

Home Affairs sounds like a really boring portfolio so I'm not sure why he wants it.

He is into any contentious issue that will give him a platform?

Which results are you looking at? News24 is broken, the ANC got a 51% majority in MP.

Did they? Last I checked they were just below 50 there?

Well, they must've got a slight uptick.

Seems like both FS and MP is in the danger zone for 2029.
 
This is amazing to watch....

He can't understand why brown people voted for the DA. With all the lies peddled about Zionist funding how is it possible ?
Its simple dude, those voters were presented with two options, either hand over the province to the thieves who support Palestine(ANC/EFF) or keep it with the party who has looked after the place(DA).
OR vote for the PA who openly admit they would accept Zionist funding.

Truth is, no one believed those lies about Zionist funding anyway. It was propaganda pure and simple, with a big slap of antisemitism.

These tears are delicious...

First thing that must happen under this GNU is the Scorpions must be made a Chapter 9 institute. Then there's no taking it away when you feel like it. Cyril then doesn't have to worry about cleansing his party. Win-win...

Definitely. Just shift the Directorate thing established under NPA during the run-up to the election to a full C9 institute.

Actually, a GNU will be easily able to implement Zondo recommendations (the Scorpions is one of them just not in the precise phrasing), ANC could just shrug and say, "We had to compromise".
