WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

ANC will increase its 2/3rds majority in 2004 election
[Note. The real kicker is the following: If the ANC can go over the 2/3rds majority it will be able to change the constitution at will – just as ZANU(PF) & Mugabe do in Zimbabwe – and nobody will be able to stop them doing anything they want. The ANC has been 1% short of this magical number in 2 elections and many people fear this event.
But since the apathy among non-white voters is increasing faster than the apathy among black voters – it is quite possible the ANC will indeed achieve this magic number in April 2004. Jan]
The African National Congress will win a two-thirds majority in next year’s general elections, in the process increasing its seats in Parliament from the current 266 members to 271 in 2004.
This was the prediction from the Human Science Research Council (HSRC) on Wednesday, where its South African Social Attitudes Survey was unveiled at a media briefing.
“The HSRC projection is that the ANC will win 67,8 percent of the votes next year,” said Udesh Pillay, executive director of surveys, analyses, modelling and mapping in the HSRC.
The Democratic Alliance would remain the official opposition with 10,5 percent of the vote, followed by the New National Party with 8,7 percent, the Inkatha Freedom Party with 7,1 percent and the United Democratic Movement with 1,7 percent.
The Pan Africanist Congress and the Azanian People’s Organisation were predicted to poll 0,51 percent and 0,44 percent of the votes respectively.
The African Christian Democratic Party and the new Independent Democrats were expected to garner 0,45 percent and 0,44 percent respectively, with the Freedom Front coming in at 0,46 percent.
Pillay said that the survey comprised of a “major” sample of 7501 respondents of voting age drawn from a random selection across the country, with fieldworkers able to go back to households to monitor trends and evaluate interventions.
Asked the question: “For which party do you plan to vote in the next election”, 32,6 percent of the responses were “unknown” with another 7,8 percent declaring they “won’t vote”.
Of the 7,8 percent of respondents who said they would not vote, the largest proportion of just over 40 percent said they would not participate because they were not interested.
The results also showed that the ANC would retain control of the Western Cape with the help of the NNP. In KwaZulu-Natal the IFP, in alliance with the DA, was expected to win.
In all seven other provinces the ANC was expected to win.
Asked what was one of the more salient surprises of the survey, HSRC chief executive Dr Mark Orkin highlighted the breakdown of race among voters voting for particular parties.
There was still a strong degree of racially based party political focus, he said.
This was borne of by figures in the survey, which indicated that black voters dominated support of the ANC at 93,4 percent, while white support was minimal at 0,4 percent.
The IFP was also predominantly black with 97,8 percent of its support base black. By contrast, more than 75 percent of the supporters of the DA were white.
Orkin said the “most mixed” party was the NNP.
“The rainbow nation is not yet translating in the majority of parties into racially intergrated voters,” he said.
Orkin said the new type of survey, which used discriminative analysis, was one of the largest samples taken in the country, and was three times as large as other typical samples for commercial opion surveys.
He said the survey “raised the bar” for other surveys and challenged the polling industry not to “befuddle” politicians, voters and opinion-makers.
Other interesting predictions in the survey showed that the DA would increase its parliamentary seats from 38 to 42 and the NNP from 28 to 35.
The big losers were predicted to be the IFP, going down from 34 to 28, the UDM from 14 to 7, the ACDP from 6 to 2 and the PAC from 3 to 2 seats.
The Independent Democrats were expected to win two seats. – Sapa
