As I often say to the two young ‘nearly teenagers’ in my home; “Fuckit, I hate being right!”
When the DA started with their talks about a Multi-Party Charter to defeat the ANC and take over as the government of South Africa along with their ‘promise’ to never work with the ANC, I only had this to say to anyone who would listen:
- The DA has struggled for 30 years to be the government
- Whatever they say is NOT cast in stone
- How would you feel if you were always the bridesmaid and never the bride?
- The DA and it’s members are at a water shed moment and very very hungry for power
- This means that they will do ANYTHING to get a bite at the cherry to stay relevant
- Given the smallest of chances the DA will roll over onto their back for a tummy rub and then bark at all and sundry about how their compromising on their stance over the ANC by joining them in a GNU/coalition is in the ‘National Interest’.
Fuckit – I HATE being right!
