The SA Politics Thread Part 6

Nope. I know a few DA supporters who have utilised this, including my grandmother, who is elderly and doesn't want to stand in a queue for a long time on Wednesday.

What about the house visits?

 

[ToxicBunny]

Which court? What happens when they are in contempt?

That is not what I'm referring to in the slightest, its way more nuanced than that and more about the precedent being set in law.

There already is a law. Arrest him.

There already is a law. Arrest him.

What law specifically are you referring to?

 

[TheChamp]

What about the house visits?

Same, you need to have applied for it.

Technically from 11PM on Wednesday night according to Dawie Scholtz, but those will be sparsely populated rural VDs like Oranje [guaranteed FF+ victory, lol] which won't tell us much. I'm not staying up for that - the big results will start coming in from Thursday morning, yes.

Yeah, I am not staying up for early results, either.

 

[Priapus]

I think the only way Cyril remains as President after these elections is if the ANC only needs the bit parties to get over the 50% line, or possibly if a DA/ANC coalition forms in some way.

All the other permutations look like Cyril getting booted because the EFF/MK/etc don't want Cyril around anymore and they won't coalesce with the ANC if Cyril is at the helm.

Fair enough. I think it's unlikely the DA/ANC thing will happen. ANC + Smaller parties maybe. Depending how far the ANC falls off its horse.

 

[wingnut771]

What law specifically are you referring to?

I'm sure a lawyer can tell you.

 

[ToxicBunny]

Fair enough. I think it's unlikely the DA/ANC thing will happen. ANC + Smaller parties maybe. Depending how far the ANC falls off its horse.

Yeah I also don't the DA/ANC thing happening either, unless it literally the only way the country can form any sort of government.

 

[ToxicBunny]

I'm sure a lawyer can tell you.

Then how can you say there is a law and we must arrest him?

 

[wingnut771]

Same, you need to have applied for it.

Yes, what happens to the DA vote after it leaves the house? What's stopping it turning into 100 ANC votes? The IEC? The same IEC that gifted a pallet of voting material to ANC councillor?

 

[wingnut771]

Yeah I also don't the DA/ANC thing happening either, unless it literally the only way the country can form any sort of government.

Rather have elections again.

Some of you okes are taking this schit way too seriously

I eat this schit up. 4/5 July and 7/8 November I'm pulling all-nighters to watch UK and US election results come in

 

[wingnut771]

Then how can you say there is a law and we must arrest him?

I'm sure he took an oath or something, use that.

 

[ToxicBunny]

I'm sure he took an oath or something, use that.

Which oath specifically and what part of that oath would necessitate him breaking the law and being arrested?

 

[wingnut771]

What happens when you break your oath?

Why take an oath?

 

[ToxicBunny]

What happens when you break your oath?

Why take an oath?

Which oath, and what part of the oath would cover last nights electioneering speech?

UK elections will be interesting to watch. Labour pretty much has it in the bag - the Tories need to **** off.

Agreed, going to watch the UK elections with interest this time around.

When he became president he puts his hand up and lies to the nation.
