Note sull'episodio

Three months after our first episodes discussing coalitions, we look at three important developments: the IFP-DA agreement in KZN, the intervention of the ANC Veterans’ League, and a meeting on coalitions convened by Deputy President Paul Mashatile. We also discuss the multi-party pact and the possibility of minimum thresholds for participating in government. So what? To deal with chaos at local government level, a political agreement between major parties is crucial. It can happen now, irrespective of legislation. It would strengthen the democratic centre and bring together those who belong together. For more about JP, and to read his newsletter, please visit his website.
