DA Policies?

[Marq]

Somebody dropped off a pamphlet in my letterbox.
Says Vote DA

Then says Through our policies we support:-

• BEE
• Sustainable Land Reform
• Social Grants

Sounds like the ANC even EFF.

I thought they were the opposition. From this is seems they are just another gang doing and promising the same thing to all the sheeple.

DA looks good from a distance but when taking a closer look at it then you may see a lot of dirt, would say it's an advance form of late National Party

[pmbguy]

The DA has a problem in that they have to make compromises along the way to gain non-white votes and they suck anyway because all politicians are compromised. I think we should question the DA, but Question even more how shit it really is compared to the cANCer

Basically DA was a strategy to win non-white votes because the National Party knew that they have no grounds to stand in the polls because of their oppressive system, hence they seduced non-whites into that form of National Party but what's the difference anyway because they always show their true colors when the polls are near by just like they did now.

I used to feel this way as well, until you see what they have done in Cape Town. The roads, the public transport, the cleanliness etc et. They have a function for example in Seapoint - a night race or cycle race - the place is spotless by the morning after the cleanup ! They are def doing something right down there.

Ok thats good service delivery and stuff I would expect as a rate payer. They are really doing a good job in this area.

but

This policy thing which says the same kak principles are in play as now, tells me that overall nothing will really change.
So we will have a clean polished look but the engine is still dirty under the hood and headed for the same scrapyard.

They are working on it in Durban, been riding at 6 am on the weekends. Durban beachfront is a disgrace in the early hours. I filmed my route with a go pro camera. I decided not to waste my time editing it. The filth, rubbish, the stench of piss, people sleeping on the grass banks, using the showers to wash, drunken fools causing trouble with my wife while she was walking, it is shocking.

But on a positive note, there are police patrolling, hundreds of people walking cycling, doing group work outs, it is a buzz. There are fun runs from Sun coast. Good breakfast with excellent service at Circus Circus beach café. The coffee guys at the grass patch make a decent cup of coffee. With the bike and bean further on the north beach side, you could spend a R100 before you get to Blue lagoon. You then have to work off all the coffee and breakfast.

I am finding it is getting a little congested in the mornings. They are going to have to sort out cycle lanes up and down. Went up to Umhlanga to see if we could ride along the beach, not allowed bicycles along the promenade.

The decision is really, who is going to be the least corrupt, and at the very least leaving sufficient funds to actually use on social projects.

No idea where dix got the idea of a connection between the Nats and the DA.
Actually, the Nats joined the ANC.
(Which probably explains a few things).

I'd love someone from the DA to explain their ideas on BEE (i.e. practically how they would implement/achieve it). What I've seen so far is pretty confusing.

To my mind the obvious potential of the DA to be different from the ANC lies in other areas though -
No need to protect cronies from Arms Deal and other corruption related prosecutions
No need to pander to the Communist Party and COSATU's economic theories in order to keep them in bed

The ANC is carting some serious luggage around at the moment. And it's not doing the country and ordinary electorate any favours.

What are they doing to improve the lives of black people from all over Western Cape because NP was doing the very same thing DA is doing today, the last thing I remember is that they provided bucket system for people of Khayelitsha, you would ask yourself ok it was a short term solution but where else was such an insulting thing done to the people?

Bringing that party back (National Party/DA) would mean black people will go an advance/modern apartheid system
