Well, I think that this says it all:
Yes, it would seem that less one in every thousand people want the Cape to be turned into France.
And who can blame the other 999.1 people who think that it’s a terrible idea?
Now, I’m not a bad loser – not ever – but it does suddenly seem like I am a very bad winner.
So, Walter Laurie and your:
Even you have to admit that Cape party support is growing, and that their push toward Cape self-rule has some credibility. No?
No. Because just when we thought it really couldn’t get any smaller, it looks to me like your already pisspoor 0.13% share of the vote in the 2009 National Elections has somehow managed to decrease by 31%.

Less than 1500 votes ?
Don’t you need like 10 000 signatures to get on the ballot ?
“Erecting a big wall…”
Humph.
I thought that we had all agreed on a moat.
“It looks to me like the Cape Party are not really telling people why they will be good to vote for. They are just talking about stopping the ANC – that is stupid!”
Said by my 13-year old after seeing the “Stop ANC Rule Forever!” posters of the Cape Party… Now if a 13 year old sees it like that, I think the party in question should have realised it too.
