Tomorrow the Municipal election is held in South Africa. Apart from being a public holiday, it also means you should take 30 minutes of your time and go make your mark. I did a little bit of research to find out what parties there are to vote for and I found out there are 97 different parties to choose from. To decide which party to vote for is almost as confusing as choosing a beer in a Belgian pub. As expected if you take a closer look at the names of the parties, it seems like allot of them are basically the same party. So, to make the decision easier for you tomorrow, I decided to merge most of these 97 parties into 8 easy to choose from parties. All you have to do is choose the party you like from my list and then vote for any one of it’s real parties.

You forgot this party:
The No-Right-To-Vote Party
Recently designed for South Africans living abroad. They do no longer have the right to vote in the South African elections, nor do they have the right to vote in their country of residence – due to their foreign nationality. People without a voice.

A pretty accurate and useful summary, I think
I *live* here, *am* Christian and had no clue how many factions were out there, each starting its own silly political party.

i agree with Tinneke, about South Africans abroad not being able to vote… it’s ridiculous and we all know what the reasons are. Prisoners can vote, but South Africans outside the country can’t? does that make ANY sense at all? i thought you were stripped of most of your rights (except right to life) when imprisoned in South Africa, and not when you’re abroad for whatever reason… makes me sick..
somehow i’m glad i missed this one…
