The SA Politics Thread Part 6

I consider DA conservative, not liberal

Well, if they're "conservative" then I don't know what you'd say of the parties actually to the right of them like ASA, VF+, etc.

I'd give it a read regardless of the poster, always good to get everyone's perspective, but when it starts off in such an emotive way I'm like yeah nope not fscking interested.

No

Traditionally a higher turnout favoured the ANC. This time

This time turnout won't specifically benefit anyone. It's all to play for...

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...

That must be incorrect as it would imply almost a 100 percent turnout. I think in this instance the ST estimate of 56000 votes is more correct.

GOOD is a dead party walking. Some voters will go back to the DA (for her participation in the ANC government) and others will be siphoned off to the PA. Definitely a decrease in the national vote share for the GOOD for NOTHING party.

It was a hurdle ok!

It's going to be interesting to see just how far they fall.

Next time if there is 4 times more again, they'll have to stand in the line for 20 hours before making their mark.

Yeah, I wonder who could've reported it... Hmmm...

He did say the guy reporting on elections usually does sport, that was supposed to be the first sign.

It was getting annoying but I still thought I would let you be in the spirit of the elections, but now that someone decided to take care of it, I am also not complaining.

The trick with everything is not to overdo it.

Ah yes, so it made you ache to the point of reporting. Eish. Even us Lesufi-haters have never done that ****... Oh well.
