Two DA MPs shown the door

I think that Zille claiming that atheists are more likely to be murders than religious people may have been worse.

Fraud should be punished with expulsion, sad that it took 5 years to happen.

I'm not sure if I'm happy with DKB being kicked out.

@mandyldewaal @leezo_buya ANY
fundamentalism is terrible. When you think
you have monopoly on truth, you feel
immune from consequences.

@ helenzille
@djkevking @mandyldewaal @leezo_buya The
worst kind of fundamentalists are atheist
fundamentalists who will not accept that ppl can
belive.

@helenzille
@rationalhill Atheists commit
mass slaughter because they believe they are
God, and that their ideology permits them to.

@ helenzille
@Atheists , for whom non-belief is part of an
ideology, have killed hundreds of millions. Ask
Stalin.

Well it fits their new profile if you think about it.

A new black leader and a new pro-black stance where anyone regarded as old era is outed.

That was their problem - not appealing to black people - which is what the attitude from the student protesters also highlighted.

+ The electorate simply would not understand that DKB did not say those things in the repost.

WOT? The majority of them may be dumber than a rock but ask them how facebook works and they can explain everything in detail. This is nothing more than double standards from them to fit a new agenda yes. Say something about a minority group and nothing happens but just say something that can apply to the majority of your opposition and you get sacked. I wouldn't be surprised if their new stance loses them the Cape in the next election.
 
The DA is an evolving party, it will be interesting if the white and coloured vote in the western cape starts to dry up.
 
This expulsion has further split the DA and sets the stage for a new minority party to be formed.
I predict that prominent members of the DA will begin leaving the party to start a new one after this expulsion, feeling their constituencies have been sacrificed in the party's rush for black votes and alignment with similar policies to the ANC. For many DA voters the DA's new trajectory is reminiscent to the perceived sell out by the NP (which became NNP) post 1994. I have spoken to a few DA officials I know, who say the original fabric of the DA, which characterized it, is rapidly disintegrating.
Coupled with Zille's resignation and rapid rise of the EFF, they are all aware that the DA has already lost its 'official opposition' status, which will be officially confirmed in 2019. The pre-2012 DA, which originally supported and represented white, coloured and Indian minorities has fallen.
Those who built the DA into the official opposition for two decades, like DKB are now being tossed aside for expedient black representation.
This presents a golden opportunity and motivation for a major split.

In live in Cape Town, the proclaimed Jewel of the DA in the Western Cape. Since the announced resignation of Zille and radical reshuffling in the DA council by the politically absent de Lille, I have witnessed the downward degradation of the city bowl.

The streets of the suburbs remain filthy with litter for weeks without being cleaned up, the sidewalks and verges are overgrown with weeds and high grass, trees are not pruned, open public spaces like parks are not being maintained, gutters and storm water drains are blocked, vagrancy has risen radically, begging at traffic intersections has increased and spread into new areas. We also witnessing the establishment of squatter caps in the CBD near CAPUT, the Tamboerskloof farm and at the start of De Waal Drive (next to Stor-age). This has resulted in attracting more unsavory elements into the area and a rise in opportunistic crimes (car break-ins, muggings etc).

Many people I speak to in the street and social forums I belong to, feel the DA is failing them as ratepayers and failing to deliver on their municipal and law enforcement obligations. I also chat to foreign visitors who visit periodically, and they all comment on how the city is becoming more 3rd world each visit. All of this reiterates that the DA has turned its back on the very voter base that carried it to official opposition status.

It time for a new party.
