Why should I vote ANC?

"After watching the political debates in America, I felt that the American public were fortunate to have an opportunity where they could hear for themselves what Barack Obama stood for versus Hilary Clinton. That whole process makes them accountable; it gives Americans a way of assessing how successful a president has been in achieving what he promised."

Why oh why do we not have that in this country? It is so vitally important to get to know who you are voting for.

Well i want to hear them being asked questions from viewers and debating topics head to head. Not reading manifesto's on their websites. Sorry but that doesen't cut it for me.

Agreed, a manifesto means nothing IMO.
Public debate should be fun.(aint gonna happen)
 
I also don't get this.I've read somewhere that only a small percentage of voters actually read manifestos,why don't parties sell themselves.

Bollocks...
After nearly 2 years on the campaign trial,Obama still needed to "introduce" himself to the US voters because "they didn't know much of him".That was in a 1t world country.You need to sell yourself,free info means nothing.

They should enforce a minimum amount of tv debates by law.
 
The mere fact that ANC gets so many voters is evidence of how ill-informed the majority of voters are. I can guarantee you majority of ANC voters do not know what policies the party is for or against. Same can be said for DA, IFP, COPE.
 
With that said if the voters are uneducated when it comes to voting. The IEC along with the political parties should be doing their bit to educate the public. Why not do it on a forum that has access to millions. Like the SABC for instance?
 
Well yes they vote for the ANC because of the past i believe and do not care about other parties, they just do not want the past to ever happen again, this is the reason a white party will never come to power again in this country.

COPE however are the only party who can take them on but the majority of whites would never vote for a black party, so the votes will get spread between the millions of different parties and majority will be for anc.

The more parties there are the stronger the anc, the more votes are spread over the millions of parties the stronger the anc.

People who do not want the ANC anymore all need to get together and vote for one party, but to co-ordinate this would prove near impossible.

So in closing the ANC will win and run this country into the ground after 2010.

Anyone have any thoughts.

I agree with how he is feeling in regards to who to vote for. I myself change my feelings towards parties every week. I actually have no clue come April who i'm going to mark my vote with. Doubt it would ANC though just due to the fact they haven't got it right so far.

*sigh*

Its easy: make a mark for democracy. Give the ANC a run for it's money, only with a strong opposition (coalition or not) can democracy grow and change. The ANC will still be the ruling party, but they must be held accountable for the choices they make (accountable to the citizens of the entire country) and only a major opposition to their rule will keep them in check.
 
Well, the article itself is just...not really worthy of comment. There is a guy who is actually thinking with his head and not following blindly like a sheep. That's great. If only it represented the majority of the voterbase. Sadly it speaks of one man who desperately seeks a reason to once again vote for the ANC.

What I did find interesting though, was the comments board below the article. It would seem that the ANC supporters truly are the uneducated blind sheeple they've been made out to be. So much contradiction with so little substance. Viva! :rolleyes:

Please,don't make ignorant statements.You can guarantee me nothing of that kind.I grew up during the struggle.The Freedom Charter was our bible.You will find that the average DA voter don't know sh1te about their party and their policies,and the reason is simple.They aren't FOR the DA,they are AGAINST the Anc,where Anc voter is FOR the Anc and could'nt care less about the rest...big frikken difference.

Unfortunately the Freedom Charter has been sold for a few submarines and a luxury 4x4; you seem to be the one ignorant of what actually happens to a liberation organisation when they try become a political party (something they are ill equipped to do).
 
The ANC has been repeating what the rest of africa has done before them. They have been showing for 15 years now that they are incapable of running a country. Why do people never listen ? The reason why history repeats itself is because people never learn from their mistakes.

So how old are you ........ scary...
 
I wish the DA would just hire a bunch of competent, educated and well spoken black people to be their leaders - most black people with never vote for madam Zille and I understand why. Just like most white people will never vote for any of the traditional, african black parties, because we are terrified of their leadership abilities. If we had a Barack type black candidate in south africa, things would be different.

My answer was a direct reply to a post i highlighted.You,on the other hand chose NOT to do so.If you want to talk about submarines and 4x4's i suggest you start a thread for that.

If you look back on your post,you'll find your answer does not have any relevance to what you quoted.

The vote is actually against corruption, against crime, against laziness, against dictatorships, against tyranical leaders, against discrimination, against racism, against monopoly, against nepotism, against the elite..

Ironically they just happen to be characteristics of the ANC at this point in time, but thats what they choose to be, not really our problem.

The ANC voter base is not voting FOR the ANC, they are voting FOR free sht which will be their ruin because its not sustainable, its a quick fix that wins elections by swaying the poor majority, with long standing consequences. They are taking a bribe. When it crashes, its going to crash hard. You will never be able to vote them out of power. The AU will see to that.

Vote for that machine gun you love so much, stick it in your mouth.. I wonder if it has any bullets? Take the Gamble. Vote ANC. Because, at *best*, they are a gamble.

Anyone who has a brain and thinks the ANC are any good does not infact realize they have no brain.

Brain donors the lot of them.
