Priapus and PrimeSteak were on my case when I said parties are not necessarily voted out because they are doing something wrong, for an example the DA might lose support in Ekurhuleni simply because they stopped the wholesale dishing out of free electricity to everyone, it's really complicated and the one who will get the votes is the one who can master the game, of course not saying doing the right thing won't get you votes but sometimes the right thing is not the popular thing.
Tag us at least if you want to talk ****.
@Priapus
Parties usually lose support
because they **** up in some aspect.
Some examples are DA nationally in 2019 under Mmusi's leadership and his shenanigans and ANC for the past decade in most areas because of their sheer corruption, zero service delivery and many other reasons.
Your example makes no sense anyway that DA support in EKH would drop
solely because of stopping the electricity free-for-all... It would make more sense if UF made
zero progress in their term, for them to then lose support.
For example, you love to refer to Ekhuruleni pre-2021 as ANC's big coalition success, if that was so great,
why did ANC support tank further? Just for randomness? In CPT 2011, why did the DA win an outright majority there, after managing a coalition? Just because?
Party support depends on what happens regarding the party itself. COPE is also another example.
So in short you might have your views about Panyaza but they could not necessarily be views that are shared by those who matter, the Gauteng electorate, and after the scramble for urban votes is done and everyone has had his share, the votes that will win the province are going to come from the places that someone like Panyaza is popular in.
ANC is not going to get a majority in Gauteng in 2024 regardless of Lesufi, they've already lost the province (refer to last year). At best they might strike 38 - 40%. So either they'll have to coalesce or sit in the opposition benches (most likely outcome).
