The reason I’m probably voting EFF is because the racists will leave and the only people that will stay are the ones committed to building a better South Africa. While I don’t think Julius is fit to be a president I don’t think any political leader is. And I’ll let Bonga raw dog me before I vote DA
A rule of thumb for me is that I don’t trust politicians:
If the ANC is voted out…?
EFF is the only party I see.
Watching this on the night before the election 😅
Hayaa,here in kenya most of us say malema will win but the comments says otherwise
No one political party will tick all the boxes, so basically, we are all to settle for the lesser devil on election day.
Action SA ticks all those boxes
Eff
Thanks Dan. You gave me a framework for doing my research. Less overwhelmed.
We have enjoyed having power without interruption….once the elections are over, we'll have load shedding again..
Being in the dark won't be fun – but knowing we have ousted the African National Corruption party – will make it really worth it…. So do the right thing please
Hey guys – THE day has finally arrived and we are all excited to "do the right thing" it's been really good having power every day but once this erection is done – we can be very sure that "the wheels will come off suddenly" and we'll have load shedding again….
If I answer those questions honestly – I doubt I'll vote for anyone… Dont trust anyone to deliver on their promise and and and🤯
Im not South African but it seems so obvious just vote for the DA
Anything but ANC and DA(despite the remarkable governance record🙃, oKSALAYO we are not voting DA).
The future of South Africa is bright 🇿🇦
15 hours before voting starts 🤩🥶
I see there is a lot of people that don't want to vote for anyone. Note that if you don't vote you are voting for the goverment in power. Why ? If you are not voting you are saying you are happy with how things currently are under current goverment.
Any party but ANC and EFF!
Sadly alot of people keep giving their vote to an unworthy party. That hasn't been for years.
😢
believe in equality and vote for everyone
Dan… How is your relationship with your father? You should phone him.
Guys… I think we should just revolt. Just to shake things up. Speed things up.
I use HUMAN RIGHTS as a fundamental basis of my vote.. Ask yourself, would your Party take I$rael to the ICJ.??? Does your party condem the bombing of churches and killing of my Christian brothers and sisters in Gaza. ???. i can handle potholes, i can handle loadshedding.. but i CANNOT and will NOT support Gen0cide against women and children.. FULL STOP!!
All the best to all SA😂 vote wisely
This will be the 1st year that OHM will be in parliament!!!
Biggest push is for FREEDOM/LIBERTY.
Funded by supporters ONLY
Let us elect our leaders directly and then, we will also UN-ELECT them when they do not do as promised. NO OTHER PARTY can give you that!
VIVA ANC
Just look at who runs the Western Cape – the only province that works in the nation! Please vote wisely!
Please, guys, I don't care about the other parties… just for the love of God, dont vote for ANC. I'm begging each and every one of you🙏🏼
Vote day tomorrow and I'm still unsure which of this morons is less clueless than the other morons
GO MALEMA
seems that people will be voting with their hearts and not their heads. nothing new
As an American who can't vote in South Africa, the lesson I've learned from elections in my country is that questions 4 and 5 that Dan mentions (4. who is funding the party you're voting for? 5. Who will they work with?) materially matter more than 1, 2, and 3, since the answers to the first 3 questions are generally informed by the answers to questions 4 and 5.
It's why, in the United States, policy that is lobbied for by corporate America has had a stronger chance of becoming law than policy that is favored by the public.
Edit: as I'm watching the video, I understand better why Dan orders the questions the way he does. In the US, the public isn't as concerned with corruption in the same way South Africans are. From my observations (I stand to be wrong here: working with an incomplete picture, but I'm learning), it seems like South Africans are more concerned with corruption manifesting as people in power operating outside of the law to achieve a desired end. While this is certainly a concern in the US as well, I think people in the States are generally more concerned with corruption in the form of people in power using money to litigate their agenda into law, regardless of whether that policy actually is just in the eyes of the people.
Either way, its shit. But I understand better why "Do I trust who I'm voting for?" is treated more like a separate question from "who is funding the party and who will they work for?"
I like your approach, other questions to ask, are they racist?
Thank you so much Dan, based on your awesome criteria I've conclusively decided, without a shred of doubt, that I have no choice but to vote for the EFF!! ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽And as a close 2nd I support the MK party. On my "over my dead body" list the flag-burning DA and their friends Vff plus or something like that. Thanks for helping me make my decision!
Good luck from Italy 🇮🇹❤🇿🇦
Noting will chang.
I was waiting for your video
Vote for a major opposition party to anc not the eff
Vote EFFectively!
Whatever you do PLEASE DON'T VOTE ANC 😭😭😭
So based on the facts who are you voting for in you don't mind me asking
In essence we shouldn’t vote for DA and ANC 🤔
Honestly Dan. I think any white person not happy with the DA and FF Plus is just being dishonest. These parties do a fabulous job representing their constituency in a way that no black party truly represents black people which is the main constituency in South Africa.
If I was white, the choice for me would be no further than the DA and FF Plus but I am black so no chance.
Da✊🏽
DA voter since 18, not voting for them again until Pappas is leader.
All the parties are really useless. Just vote for anyone except the ANC so we can reduce their majority.
