Reply of Dr. Pieter Mulder to the DA and Dr. Wilmot James' article attacking the Freedom Front Plus in Rapport (March 30 2014)
While the ANC and president Jacob Zuma are busy destroying the country, the DA, in the person of its federal chairperson, Dr. Wilmot James, was fighting with the FF Plus in Rapport Weekliks last week (see here).
Why are James and the DA fighting with the FF Plus and not with the ANC?
Because the DA is running into difficulties with its traditional white and brown supporters. James is realisingthat voters are considering the FF Plus as an alternative.
Helen Zille said in 2009: "Lend us your vote." The voters did that. Now they are experiencing severe disappointments because the DA has changed direction and has made these voters' interests subservient to the interests of the ANC voters whom they are courting.
Suddenly before the election the DA in Parliament supports new legislation about affirmative action, black economic empowerment and the re-opening of land claims. These new laws will affect brown and white voters very negatively. "This time we are voting for the FF Plus," they say.
