So you have 2 people claiming something.

1 who was directly involved, and the other who very likely wasn't and you don't generally want to believe the person who was directly involved?

I would argue the bias is 100% on your side.

I haven't taken sides at all, all I asked was how the brit knows it's the ASA who is lying. His answer was he trusts the DA more. That's bias.

All the main players in ASA are ex-DA, which is why they have huge grudges against the DA, which many anti-DA people are eager to lap up.

And those will stay grinding their teeth while the rest of the members jump ship, ASA is being openly dishonest and making a fool out of its members, I would quickly remove myself from that party before the ships sinks.

And the 2017 also proves that they were very strong in UCT during Maimane's time, for the benefit of @The_Right_Honourable_Brit since he was convinced when that fact was mentioned.

When I was at UCT, DASO did win a few elections but I think it really depends on the enthusiasm of the student branch every year...student politics is quite volatile. One year you can sweep the board and the next, no-one can vote for you. It's not really that revealing of anything TBH.
