I agree that people vote in terms of the benefit of greater society, or at least in terms of what benefits them individually, but people still have their own, individual political agency. So, in the DA and in the ANC, for example, members should be allowed to disagree and vote against motions with which they do not agree. Also, I don't agree with referring to, say, black people as "masses", as I see people as individuals with their own unique situations. One cannot generalise about black people, just as one cannot speak for all black people. Thus, people should be treated as individuals. I hope you agree with me.
