    That is one coalition. Reminds me of the coalition that the Israelis had before they became a facist state. Sad times.

      Yep, this is a step in the right direction for South African politics. I think coalitions will start becoming a norm in the near future of the country.

        There is nothing wrong with coalitions. But a coalition of 7 parties? It’s going to break any day. There is nothing wrong with having coalition but unstable ones are not beneficial. They can end up having elections again and again to get a goverment to begin with. That’s why my example with Osreal is relevant. They did it there as well and it did work.

          Ok, i understand now, i didn’t understand your reference before.

          That is a very real worry, but i believe it’s still a step in the right direction.

          It’s by no means perfect in any way, but we have to move away from the stagnancy of the ruling party at the moment. It’s a hell of a pity to see what they’ve become, they started off as literally the saving grace of the majority of the country. Their party constitution is actually the most idealistic. But corruption has completely destroyed all the good intentions of the founders of the ANC constitution and the country’s constitution.

          No, a step in the right direction is for a government that can actually run a country and deliver solutions to it’s people, not steal from them. Another step is to end systemic racism which the ruling party has done so with BEE causing more corruption in 30 years than we could have ever imagined.

          Well if you’re all for white minority rule in SouthAfrica, then i don’t think you’resomeone i would want to interact with. So not sure if you’re trolling or not. But in case you’re not:

          It’s a move in the right direction to break the stagnation of the ruling party at the moment. If it takes coalitions to do that then so be it.

          Like i said in my reply to someone else, the ANC were literally the saving grace of the majority of the country after Apartheid. Their constitution and the country’s constitution is so ideal. We would have sung the ANCs praises from then until now if only they jad kept their promises that they made post Apartheid. And there was a will and the money to do so, but unfortunately corruption got in the way. Of course it was also the IMF that imposed their usual ridiculous conditions on the country. But there’s no doubt that corruption was the final nail in the coffin, so to speak.

            You’re saying you want white people to once against rule over an African country

              I find that really strange. Nowhere in my comments did i say i want white minority rule in South Africa. In fact, you were the only one to mention it first. So how can you say the opposite of something i did not say?
