The ANC has lost my vote. </p> <strong><a href="#continue_article" style="font-size: 11px">Continues Below&darr;</a></strong> <div class="ad-Square-container"> <div class="ad-Square"> <script type="text/javascript">top.DisplayAds('SquareAV', 16, 2891);</script> </div> <a name="continue_article"> </a> </div> <p> We need a strong opposition, and Cope seemed like the way to go, until the party made an unknown cleric its leader. </p> <p> I've spent enough years with clerics to know that they are almost all either idealists or machiavellian. We don't want either as president. </p> <p> DA leader Helen Zille might have got my vote, except I hate her new plastic doll look. She looks as though she's been styled by former UK prime minister Margaret Thatcher. What good is a politician who can't scowl? </p> <p> ID leader Patricia de Lille puts me off for exactly the opposite reason: she isn't groomed enough. She doesn't look as though she can organise her wardrobe - or delegate the task to a consultant. How can she organise a party, let alone a country? </p> <p> What's a girl to do? </p> <p> Then I found the poll on the Mail &amp; Guardian website. This is a novel idea - disregard the off-putting to entirely repulsive individuals standing for election, and make your decision based on their policies. </p> <p> At <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100727015853/http://elections.mg.co.za/pollpredictor" target="_blank">http://elections.mg.co.za/pollpredictor</a> you answer a series of questions about everything from black economic empowerment, health, education, and the Scorpions to energy and housing. The system then works out which party is closest to your views. </p> <p> I was surprised to find that I should be voting ID. </p> <p> I have to admit, discovering that one of their candidates dismembered and boiled his girlfriend was a little offputting. </p> <p> Maybe I'm just squeamish. </p> <p> But it makes sense now. De Lille and I are meant for each other. I can't organise my wardrobe or work with an image consultant, either. </p> <p> And it seems we agree on other less important issues too, like corruption and education. </p> <p> If you're looking for some election wear, Hayibo has issued a great new T shirt. </p> <p> If you go to www.Hayibo.com, you can purchase a shirt with a sketch of ANC Youth League president Julius Malema on the front, and the legend: 100 percent for Zuma, 20 percent for Woodwork. </p> <p> Read my blog at www.helenbrain.co.za </p> <br> </div> <center> <div class="socialb"> <div id="social_header">BOOKMARK THIS STORY <a onclick="Showbookmark_info(); return false;" class="social_headerlink" href="#">(What's This?)</a> </div> <table> <tr id="bookmark_info"><td> <p class="articletext">Social bookmarking allows users to save and categorise a personal collection of bookmarks and share them with others.
