A single vote has no effect whatsoever on the results, It is thus a good idea for ANC supporters not to vote, Your single vote won’t make one little bit of difference. But here is the thing if you don’t vote don’t whine about who is in power,

Don’t stand in the bank queue whinging about the service since “these people” have been in power. Don’t tell me how the country is going to hell in a handbasket if you have not registered to vote. But lets take this a step further, You registered and voted for a party that has no chance of making a difference.

Let me explain this is short sentences. The only reason some parties exist is because it is the only way the party leader will get a job.  You see if they achieve the minimum number of votes required they have a job for the next 5 years.

Voting for no hopers just dilutes the vote that an opposition with teeth would have. I think voting on colour lines is foolish. Lets understand one thing, all politicians are lying scum, some just lie a  little less than others. I am thinking that a vote for the DP or the other mini parties is probably about as good as not voting.

A Vote for the ANC will lead to a South Africa I don’t want to live in.  I like the new party thats name has not yet been registered because  I like the idea that they want to change the system to allow us to vote for our local rep.

That would be bringing the power back to the people and would stop the kind of crap recently seen where the ANC fired and hired local people for being loyal or disloyal to the party.
