Thank you, also to Gareth. Fascinating. He knows his subject 100%

Yes, they all copy what DA says or do, and I wish DA can stop talking sometimes and just watch skelms to blunder. They all copy everything from DA.

Thank you GvO. 🤙

Hopefully the smaller parties will add something largely positive to the political debate despite their size

Victory had ANC at over 46%. They got it horribly wrong. A poll 2 days out is useless. We need an accurate poll 4 weeks out.

The thing is, a poll is not a prediction. It is just a snapshot of the opinion at that time. And opinion changes, so a poll taken right before an election is more likely to be accurate.

UIM is a threat to the DA that's why UIM's votes were rigged by IEC. Next election we will have observers at every polling station to watch these corrupt tossers

The DA needs Chris Pappas as their leader and image

This was a most enlightening report! WOW!!! John Steenhuisen to my view lacks a certain Charisma! The content of his speeches are excellent, but he doesn't come over convincingly enough!! What might have hurt the DA a little bit was their, not openly but still, support for Israel! That must've upset some of the coloured and Malay community who are Muslims!!😮

well the majority of the country are Christians so there is that consideration too so at least they took a stance for better or worse they wear their policies on their shoulders - then people chose and yet they still came in second biggest party and ANC lost votes in spite of them having opposite views so it balanced out nicely in the end

Sorry, I don't get it. What is wrong with wanting both sides to be at peace and protected. If there is a will to discuss this, then let's start from the beginning, from Abraham, Ismail and Isaac, and what happened from then to now. Otherwise, there is no discussion.

Great work Gareth!

Alec when are you interviewing the deputy president of the EFF, you might disagree with them and their policies, but let's hear their perspective. Maybe after hearing him you might consider making him a speaker at one of your Biz conference.

Can't please everyone unfortunately. The tale of these times is the crazy people end up ruling because we make a stand on the 2%

The poor performance of the DA is a consequence of their inability to convert those interested black voters because of the messages they campaign with not talking to these black voters and convincing them to take the final step and vote for the DA. The other issue will continue to be the lack of credible Black, Coloured & Indian senior leaders. Changes to these factors could see the DA securing up to 29% in the next election.

I agree with you. DA will be forever 20% party or possible decline if they don't change their strategy, policies and how they appear to black communities. Many black people love DA but they are not sure of it because of how DA policies appears to be anti blacks.

Always found it strange that many groups only act on something if their interest is involved but only one group is maligned on it.

The real issue now, to go off topic vis a vis this program, is how the ANC and Ramaphosa will form a government. The perception of a DOOMSDAY COALITION is mirrored, so the ANC should accept being a minority government and negotiate the most reliable confidence and supply agreement.

I have (maybe naively) a very positive feeling about this next Parliament.

What happened to your research about Cape independence?

It’s refreshing to hear a data-based discussion. Particularly when compared with some very poor reporting elsewhere

G v O can call the UK election?

I WIIIISH you could get this report and analysis fully broadcast on SABC & other TV/radio stations (even if in summary), so that the Man-in-the-Street can get an informed and PROVABLE impression of the Election implications, instead of having POLITICAL ACTIVISTS' B*LLDUST incessantly thrown at them in massive efforts to DESTABILISE THE ENTIRE FUTURE GOVT of Our Beloved Country!!!!!!!!!😢❤😊

This is what I like.That the pool and the election agrees gives a me a bit of confidence in the result. Basically ignoring the naysayers implying rigging of the election.

When he frequently rolls his eyes up to the ceiling it is even worse. It's so off putting that I can't focus on what he's saying.

👍DA no to position mongers yes to critical thinking and skills in government

By removing Ramaposa DA never win Mogoeng Mogoeng will replace 💯 %

the DA speaks a good game but lets look at how it treats its black candidates. is it a coincidence that a mediocre candidate like John is still in power but Musi was seen as a failure during his tenure. the treatment of black leaders within the DA is its worst PR campaign.

Steenhaisun used black females to speak on platforms were are they only saw you with her in the concourt in Western Cape sitting nect to her however only White's elected in seats in Parliament we now know how you want to rescue South Africa only with White's no blacks ,Coloureds or Indian's very bias keep up your good work

Steenhuizen low favourability.As a former DA voter I cannot vote for steenhuizen.He keeps on talking about their support base diversity but nothing into of leadership.Where is the black mayors like Geordie Hill Lewis ,where is the majority black MPs.How can you have a 65% DA white MPs when the white population is shrinking.So black people apply but somehow they just can't get past that final hurdle.You should be a 30% party with millions of black middle class voters instead of 800000 black voters .We can see trough your pretence of this diverse party.You will remain a 20% party unless you fundamentally change your white supramecy.Bottom line the DA holds the view that majority of public representatives should be white.Despitw the fact that the South African white population is down to 7% and shrinking.We see through you DA.

Maybe because somehow it's the only place white people can be employed in politics. :). Same reason why there are many small businesses not supported by government that sometimes employ white people because no one else will. Yet no one speaks about that except the wrong end of the racism. Maybe in other parts of SA it's different in KZN it's the general reality. Most expect that small 7% to punch above their weight economically yet all these little sneaky laws to disenfranchise though and never directly supported by government like other citizens.. Seems a bit of a mismatch really.
