[@ajswanepoel911]

@@Hannodb1961 here are some myths to debunk your statement that voting for a independent is a wasted vote shame on you for not believing in democracy MYTHS TO DISPEL (part 1): "Voting is a waste of time": In 2019, just over 17 million people cast their vote, while 18 million people, both registered to vote and not, chose to abstain from the process for whatever reasons. If everyone disaffected by the system voted for any party except those that are in the top 3 - 5, we would have an entirely new government - in ONE day! Just with the mark of an X! Voting can be very powerful! Do not waste the opportunity!MYTHS TO DISPEL (part 2): "There are TOO MANY parties! The ballot is going to be a mile long - how awful!" We have about 350 nationally registered political parties. We have a population of about 40 million adults. Technically that's 114 000 people per party if everyone HAD to pick a party. However, due to the contesting process, we only have 52 parties contesting nationally which is about 770 000 people per party if divided up equally. In a diverse country such as ours, having a wide variety to choose from is important, even if we had 100 contesting, that would be a good thing. IN OUR CURRENT SYSTEM (which we want to change) I would rather have double the amount of parties in parliament, all with a more equal share of seats, then have what we have no: 3 parties with 90% of the power. The democracy we envision is about more equal representation, as opposed to the "winners" vs "losers" mindset that prevails in our legislatures. The more parties there are, and the more parties represented in parliament, the closer we get to a direct election system. So no, there is no such thing as "too many parties" in a democracy.MYTHS TO DISPEL (Part 3): "Voting for a smaller party is a wasted vote" or "voting "for anyone but the official opposition is a wasted vote". We are not a two party state. Technically, in our current system, all parties besides the ruling party are opposition parties UNLESS they form a coalition with the ruling party. A two party state would be even LESS democratic than the current flawed multi-party system. It is easier for big corporate donors to control 2 parties than it is for them to control multiple parties. For this reason it would be best for people to vote for parties that aren't funded by corporate interests. The best vote in these elections is to take a chance on a new, emerging party that has not been influenced by large funders or global institutions. If we can get these kinds of more independent voices in parliament then: 1. The representatives of such parties will be more likely to consider the people when passing legislation as opposed to considering only business interests. 2. These parties are far more likely to get behind system change because they had to grow without the current benefits old, represented parties receive from government (aka hundreds of millions of rands per year from your tax money). Albert Einstein said, “You cannot solve a problem with the same mind that created it.” We wont fix this country if we vote with the same mindset as previous election years.

A wise coalition will be beneficial for the Western Cape.

ITs a myth . Here's why MYTHS TO DISPEL "Voting is a waste of time": In 2019, just over 17 million people cast their vote, while 18 million people, both registered to vote and not, chose to abstain from the process for whatever reasons. If everyone disaffected by the system voted for any party except those that are in the top 3 - 5, we would have an entirely new government - in ONE day! Just with the mark of an X! Voting can be very powerful! Do not waste the opportunity! "There are TOO MANY parties! The ballot is going to be a mile long - how awful!" We have about 350 nationally registered political parties. We have a population of about 40 million adults. Technically that's 114 000 people per party if everyone HAD to pick a party. However, due to the contesting process, we only have 52 parties contesting nationally which is about 770 000 people per party if divided up equally. In a diverse country such as ours, having a wide variety to choose from is important, even if we had 100 contesting, that would be a good thing. IN OUR CURRENT SYSTEM (which we want to change) I would rather have double the amount of parties in parliament, all with a more equal share of seats, then have what we have no: 3 parties with 90% of the power. The democracy we envision is about more equal representation, as opposed to the "winners" vs "losers" mindset that prevails in our legislatures. The more parties there are, and the more parties represented in parliament, the closer we get to a direct election system. So no, there is no such thing as "too many parties" in a democracy. "Voting for a smaller party is a wasted vote" or "voting "for anyone but the official opposition is a wasted vote". We are not a two party state. Technically, in our current system, all parties besides the ruling party are opposition parties UNLESS they form a coalition with the ruling party. A two party state would be even LESS democratic than the current flawed multi-party system. It is easier for big corporate donors to control 2 parties than it is for them to control multiple parties. For this reason it would be best for people to vote for parties that aren't funded by corporate interests. The best vote in these elections is to take a chance on a new, emerging party that has not been influenced by large funders or global institutions. If we can get these kinds of more independent voices in parliament then: 1. The representatives of such parties will be more likely to consider the people when passing legislation as opposed to considering only business interests. 2. These parties are far more likely to get behind system change because they had to grow without the current benefits old, represented parties receive from government (aka hundreds of millions of rands per year from your tax money). Albert Einstein said, “You cannot solve a problem with the same mind that created it.” We wont fix this country if we vote with the same mindset as previous election years.MYTHS TO DISPEL (Part 3): "Voting for a smaller party is a wasted vote" or "voting "for anyone but the official opposition is a wasted vote".

You guys are more dangerous than the ANC. First of all, a political party is nothing more than an association of like minded people. You will never get rid of that.

Even if you ban political parties, they will reappear in one form of another within two to three elections, if that much. Second of all, direct elections that pretend political parties doesnt exist takes us back to the brittish "first past the post" electoral system - probably the worst electoral system in existence. Due to its mechanics, it basically restrict the electorates choice to two established parties that you can never get rid of. And both of these parties will be broad church parties that cares more about numbers than principles. If you want to know what "direct elections" looks like in Afrika, look no further than Zimbabwe.
