The DA, the ANC and the missing COPE


1 nation, 1 future.

Ever since I arrived in Grahamstown I've never seen an African National Congress (ANC) poster in the city centre except the one on this car. Democratic Alliance (DA) posters are all over the place.

Does that mean the ANC does not bother about winning the white voters of this place? Have they given up even before they try? It looks like the DA will have a field day in the city. But in the African townships posters of the ANC are plenty and the people will probably vote for the ruling party.

The less said about the Congress of the People (COPE) the better. I've never seen an election poster of this party anywhere else. COPE needs to catch a wake up call otherwise no one will take them seriously.
