The SA Politics Thread Part 6

Opinion piece. Commentary but interesting perspective nonetheless.

'In the past few elections the DA has shed voters to the right and will probably lose more of its more right leaning supporters in these elections. The disillusioned black middle class constituency that it could have grown has been turned off by its constant anti-black and anti-transformation policies. The DA’s donors are also losing confidence in the party and are increasingly turning to funding new liberal parties such as ActionSA, Rise Mzansi and Build One South Africa, along with the whole farce of the Change Starts Now fiasco.'

US support for genocidal Israel increases isolation

Despite the numerous wars that have been perpetrated by the West since the ICC came into being, no Western leader has ever been indicted by the court

She lost me with the overly emotive bollocks in the first part of the article.

I just heard eNuus' election reporter (he's usually the sports guy) say the IEC received over 78000 overseas votes...

So i.e. if the count is 78000 and not in 56000 as ST said...

That means...

This year's overseas turnout is FOUR TIMES MORE THAN 2019'S TOTAL OVERSEAS TURNOUT.

Going by that, even tho I was sure, we'll see a turnout decline... a higher turnout isn't off the table...
Literally, everything about this election is to play for and unknown...

Traditionally a higher turnout favoured the ANC. This time it's favouring MK and EFF.

Because traditionally when their voters got fed up with one president, they had another to give them false hope. When they had enough of Beetroot, they thought the Spear would bring change, and when they had it with him, they had the False Dawn to look forward to.

It took a while but the light bulb finally went off when they're left with the awe inspiring personality of the great Alex Mafia...

It's the typical Black nationalist sobbing and condemnation of evil DA.

Had to roll my eyes:
The DA has no sense of vision, no sense of a historical mission beyond holding on to what it has.

But had to lol at this tho:
The same lack of vision is evident in Keir Starmer’s Labour Party in the UK which has nothing significant to say to voters other than that it is not the Tory party.

Yeah, nothing significant to say but they are on their way to a landslide win. Totally nothing, Nontobeko...
