why do people vote for this party?
To answer your question succinctly...
None of the parties on the ballot offer anything for the majority.
ask yourself this question, what does a person earning less than minimum wage, supplementing it with child support grants have to gain by voting for the DA, COPE, ID, IFP, UDM, ACDP, FF+, PAC, AZAPO, APC.
the answer is NOTHING
what bullshit.
You can call it bullshit and I know the DA. COPE and em think it is bullshit but it's a fact. Go to the squatter camps or any hood for that matter and ask them this question. They without fail will answer, "these other parties offer us nothing" plain and simple.
and to the detriment of the opposition these are in the majority.
So you qualify your ignorant post by quoting some ignorant (not meant in condescending way, but let's be reality) shit you hear from people who are so aborbed in making ends meet and putting some food on the table, that they have no time to read or educate themselves on the reality of shit and accept what they are told by their elected leaders in good faith?
Just because people say that those other parties can do nothing for them, doesn't make it so. How would they know anyway, because those other parties have never been given a chance to rule (except for the DA in Cape Town, which happens to be doing quite well).
Don't get me wrong, I hate all politicians, but right now I am tempted to abandon my principles and actually go vote. And it won't be for the ANC.
Like I've said before, the only real way to get shit fixed would be anarchy.
I don't believe we can fix things by replacing one group of f*** ups with another, but I do think another group of f***-ups couldn't possible do worse than the c***s in power now.
