Opinion: Who will work 🤝with the DA now that leader John Steenhuisen has declared the EFF as public enemy number one?🤔 Full opinion here➡️
Who can the Democratic Alliance work with to form a coalition government after next year’s elections if there’s no majority party?
The DA should instead declare poverty, unemployment and inequality as its number one enemy if it wants to win over EFF and ANC voters. As much as the DA can be optimistic about unseating the ANC from power, they know that they are faced with an almost impossible task.What they can hope to achieve might be to make the ANC fall below the 50% plus one threshold required for them to govern the country.
Many would have expected Steenhuisen to declare the ANC as his number one enemy, since it is the governing party. But understanding that politics is a game of numbers, he sees it fit that they co-govern with the ANC, rather than the EFF. Now they think this strategy of decampaigning the EFF will be the reason the EFF gets sidelined in government coalition talks. But they really don’t know that they are in for the biggest shock of their life if the chaotic local government coalitions are anything to go by.Both the ANC and EFF are in a situation that if they have to choose a political party to form a government with, they would choose each other.
