Why i wouldn't vote DA

I really don’t understand why someone would not want to Vote.

On this forum everyone knows and understands that it is the lack of competition that results in Telkom being the way it is. Is it any different for political parties?

I don’t care what party you are, who your leader is, what colour you are, what your policies are, if you do not have competition you will not perform, as simple as that.

If you vote an opposition party, any opposition party, you will create this competition.

So get of your lazy asses and ****ing vote!

I wet myself earlier today when I visited the site. Gotta give them credit for trying I suppose. The National Party will NEVER succeed as a party again. Too much **** associated with the name.

However...

I checked their manifesto out. Some of it aint too bad. Not ever been a fan of the NP but scarily in one of my first posts on here a week or so ago I put my "potential" manifesto up, some of which mirrors the present NP manifesto and some of which mirrors the DA manifesto. Maybe I should start the NPDA
National Peoples Democratic Alliance :D

Its nothing like supporting soccer, supporting soccer will not reduce crime, while enough votes for the opposition might.

If you don’t want to vote for you, vote for the people you care about, it may just improve there lives.

Vote for any oposition party, pick one randomly if you must.

If u cannot choose, then why not just vote for democracy? That means more than one party rule... Pick a random opposition party and make your cross. Eeny meeny miny mo!

No offense, but it really sounds to me like these elections are a joke to you? Can't really blame you, they were to me at your age too. But I've seen too many things go southward since then in SA, that now whatever little we can do I want to do, as I don't want to end up in some strange country fleeing from violence and dictatorship induced laws. With gaining age you also gain something to lose, be it family or business or your job or whatever.

So bottom line, if u cannot choose a party, choose democracy and vote for an opposition to the ruling party. No country is a democracy with one ruling party calling all the shots huh?

i do understand the importance of the election, i wouldn't have had the oppurtunities i now have if it weren't for these elections.

surely voting for the ruling party, if you support them, is still democracy. why is it that voting for an opposition is the only way to prove democracy?? democracy is freedom to vote for who you so wish, not vote for the opposition.

why do you think that if Zuma is president someone is going run into your house and chase you out? or that the country will be rife with violence?

i didnt hear zuma preach this at any point in time, infact i've heard him say the opposite.

Because not going to vote "because there's no one you like" sounds suspiciously like a case of apathy.

If you really didn't like DA/ANC/COPE/ID/IFP, why not go to vote for one of the outrageously stupid parties to send the message that the mainstream parties are letting you down. At least that way the main parties are deprived of a vote and become fractionally less powerful. You can at least slightly weaken the system you don't like.

If you don't vote it's still a zero-sum game. Everyone elses vote counts just that little bit more to make up for yours.

Zille hired a private jet and was on the campaign trail burning money on fuel. I guess she won't get another chance to live it up, but I'm sure she'll have a go at JZ for flying private.:rolleyes:
 
less than 50% of black people are registered voters in south africa. Interesting isn't it. Anc always badmouthed the NP for not letting them vote, now that they can.. why don't they?
