Municipal election voting day…

I have been quite excited in the build up to today's voting. I don't think that there is going to be a big shift in the voting numbers, but I do think there are going to be some small shifts which signal a turn in the tide. I'm not sure that I am not ideologically aligned with a particular party (I don't know enough about each of them to be able to say with certainty), but there are a few things which I am for. I am for the balance of power – it makes everyone work harder to secure their positions, and in the end the people and areas they govern over benefit. I am for good governance, and I feel that the DA has proved themselves in this regard in Cape Town.

So I am hoping for more municipalities where power hangs in the balance and everyone has to work hard to keep the voters happy. I am also hoping that at least one more metro is governed by a DA led coalition which will give them the opportunity to prove that their policies can work anywhere. I am quite keen to see the results….
