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.

S.Africa: Election: ANC has the most support
[Note. I still sit and shake my head and wonder if blacks should ever have been given the vote. The more I watch them, the more I think that was a dumb-assed move!! The DA thinks it can beat the ANC! There will be a cold day in hell when that happens. Jan]
Johannesburg – The African National Congress still had the most supporters of all the political parties in the country, a SABC/Markinor survey found.
The survey results, which were released on Thursday, showed that the ANC had 64% support amongst the people expected to vote in the upcoming election.
“Amongst eligible voters, almost six out of every ten intend to support the ANC in the 2004 national election…,” Markinor said in a media release.
“However, support for the ruling party among those expected to vote rises to 64%.”
The party with the second most support was the Democratic Alliance, with 10%. The New National Party (NNP) and the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) were both third with four percent support.
“It is clear that there are no serious contenders for the ANC’s position and the party remains largely unchallenged.
“The DA retains its position as the official opposition with one in ten South African votes, and the two other significant parties, the IFP and NNP, tie at around 4% of the ballot each.”
The survey found that one in ten South Africans had not decided which party to vote for.
The survey asked two further questions of South Africans – whether they wanted to vote and whether they were likely to vote.
“If we take only those with a positive response to these questions into account, 23.1-million voters, or about 85% of those eligible to vote, indicated that they will vote – they wanted to vote, and were likely to vote.”
The group of undecided voters mainly lived in KwaZulu-Natal, the Western Cape and Gauteng, in either metropolitan or deep rural areas. More women were undecided than men.
The survey also looked at the profiles of parties’ supporters. It found that the ANC’s support was stronger among the youth, people with less education and lower incomes. The party had 94% black supporters of which 75% was unemployed. The provinces in which the party had the most support were Limpopo Province, the North West and the Free State.
It’s weakest areas were the Western and Northern Cape and KwaZulu/Natal. In these provinces the NNP and IFP had the strongest support base respectively.
DA supporters tended to be older South Africans with jobs and with matric or a tertiary qualification.
“More than two-thirds of DA supporters are white, and support is stronger among higher income groups.
“The DA is best represented in Gauteng and the Northern and Western Cape, and the party is the most exposed in the North West and Limpopo Provinces.
