The SA Politics Thread Part 6

[Garson007]

I definitely chose the wrong time to join the queue.

Massive turnout as always at my voting district. The DA is just piling up the votes here. .

Btw, will you be able to vote for the conservative party during the UK elections from SA? Do they have a good system for expats?

Likely scenario 2- Medium turnout?

High turnout defined at over 75% turnout- I just don't see that happening.

ANC in a coalition, and life goes on- on Thursday.

Don't think so, no. Not sure I'd vote in this particular election anyhow as Labour will win by a landslide and the UK do not use a PR electoral system which means not every vote counts.

Yeah, you seemed to not be confident of the direction the Tories are taking under Rishi going by your comments on UK politicians. But conservative politics in UK is mess so hardly surprising they are going to get hammered.

So I have one small issue with this.

Does the president live in Soweto with a house in that voting district? The rest of us have to follow this new rule, surely he should vote in cape town where his primary private residence is?

He should have been in line with me

 

[rietrot]

Im in the queue. Turnout has been high all day in a 90% DA ward. It's moving slowly.

Could you have imagined the heckling... Cyril might even have had a cry about it.

I hope the amount of women in the line is not causing you chestpains since you believe they should not vote.

Those losers would have gone and jogged with him afterwards on the Promenade

I expect the DA to be in the 23-26% range.

how to terrify the Fresnays. Offer them a wimpy coffee.

i do

tell us about your neighborhood

The higher the turnout, the worse for them. They've kept their loyal core electorate intact but haven't really made big inroads outside of it. If turnout is low, they can get 23% but most of the polls, even SRF put them at around 21-22%.

We will see tomorrow. I don’t see them staying at 20%.
