I have voted 3 out of the four "elections",and my vote counted for nothing.I got more right just by taking them on in daily life without the non-existant help of any gov officials or politicians.And by the way,the first time I could vote,it was under the new SA.So make no mistake,I value my vote,maybe more than most.That is why I don't waste my time with this so-called democratic process.
Like I said,this is not a democratic process,it was an will remain a show,a farce,name it what you will,to proof to the world that the ANC IS and WILL be the leaders,no matter what.It is as much a process as the "process" that was used to prosecute JZ.It got so twisted,that "The Rule Of Law" has actually been changed through the last 4 years.
Why do I want to vote for a gov that is and will be gove,and we already know that before it is anounced that they have won.It's not a process,just a mere confirmation.And how conveniant then that they also get exactly 2/3 of the votes.
From Wikipedia;
Where in SA do we have the power?We only participate in the election,then the power is given to the gov to do what the want with.Like they said,we have the mandate to do what they want,which they actually do not.We do not have equal power and we DO NOT enjoy equal rights and freedom.Democracy is a form of government in which the power is held by citizens. It is derived from the Greek δημοκρατία (dēmokratía (info)), "popular government",[1] which was coined from δῆμος (dêmos), "people" and κράτος (krátos), "rule, strength" in the middle of the fifth-fourth century BC to denote the political systems then existing in some Greek city-states, notably Athens following a popular uprising in 508 BC.[2]
In political theory, democracy describes a small number of related forms of government and also a political philosophy. Even though there is no universally accepted definition of 'democracy',[3] there are two principles that any definition of democracy includes. The first principle is that all members of the society (citizens) have equal access to power and the second that all members (citizens) enjoy universally recognized freedoms and liberties.[4][5][6]
