The party had only 10 days prior launched its manifesto in Kliptown, Soweto, on 19 February 2024, setting out big ideas to improve society.
Roger Jardine during the launch of Change Starts Now's election manifesto at the Kliptown Youth Centre on 19 February 2024 in Soweto, South Africa.
The banker-turned-party leader, in a statement posted to X, blamed the “…recent Constitutional Court ruling and the barriers it imposes on newly established political parties”, which means Change Starts Now “like several other parties, faces a prejudicial, logistical timetable to qualify for the ballot”.
Roger Jardine: ‘We have to fix the balance sheets of SA Inc,’ says Change Starts Now presidential hopeful The assertion that “not enough voters see current opposition parties as an acceptable alternative” to the ANC is wearisome. Voters inevitably have to compromise when voting. Adult life entails compromise. If you cannot abide compromise then, like a spoilt child sulking on the sidelines, stay away from the polls.I hear that being said a lot, but I’m not sure it’s a way to get a message across. If Jardine joined an established party he wouldn’t even be a back bencher.
If the country thinks having too many political parties is a problem, change to a first past the post system — the Monster Raving Loony Party in the UK has contested every general election for years without getting a seat — although it has come third a few times…I think that the biggest shock to the ANC, is that the MK has won a bi-election in the Secunda area, which is not KZN and had 51% of the Poll.problem ‘s for all of us.
From the legacy of Helen Suzman’s single seat, to trying to bully rather than persuade anti-ANC voters to fall in line. The DA needs to reflect deeply on what liberal democracy actually means.It has its own constitution and inbred set of morals that is supported by the hierarchy.
