Non-racialism comes across as dismissive of the stratified experiences groups of people have based on race.

Thank you Prince you nail it

We must listen to good advice ..that is for the betterment of the country as a hole....not divided ..that's what politicians want

How can a sample of less than 2000 people give a projection of the views of over 50 million people? What were even the demographics of that sample? Was the sample taken in Orania? I'm sure its Orania.

[@UnathiGX]

Those polls tend to be correct

[@danielm5405]

Go to university and study statistics. You will know how it can project the views of 50 million people

[@sydneytebele7114]

@@danielm5405 cant argue with someone where the first sentence is to first undermine me intellectually. you have to understand the context in this one. Its not a sample of a chemical or water to test purity or a sample of iron ore in a mine which I do everyday . Its a sample of a population of people affected by many parameters hence demographics matter if you read in my comment. Let's say you did a survey of people in Orania and those staying in Alex the views are different . you can't say the views of people in the mountains of nkandla are the same as that in sandton. Clearly you should check the accreditation of any of your qualifications if you have any.

[@danielm5405]

@@sydneytebele7114 well your initial comment said that you don't know the sample he used. So we can't really argue if he is correct or not. But if this Hermanus guy vouches by his "facts", you should know that sampling has a methodology that ensures you get reliable results.

[@chrstiaan722]

Everyone in this discussion is talking past each other. No effort was made to understand each other. Everyone was making somewhat valid points but al three of them dismissed each other without consideration of the other speakers. Respect each other and work together. I’m a 22 year old student and I honestly believe i can do a better job at uniting our nation than these 3 clowns.

Polls = a sample which represent the % population. basics people.

[@maryanndiamond1690]

I think my point of view , indians and coloured people will vote.for DA that will sustain them and keep them relevant ....

[@acegarcia3719]

It's time to abandon the DA and vote for the FF+ in my opinion. I don't care what you do, but never will a right of center government ever exist in South Africa and therefore the Whites, Couloreds and Indians should at least vote for a party that fights for independence and self dertimitation. Fighting is fruitless, so try flighting.
