Kenyan ? Hawaiian ? We don ' t care ! We just want someone who talks sense , appears to care , but isn ' t averse to extrajudicial killings in the name of our country ! <| sep |> Perhaps you should clarify for those who write off the EFF they have several avenues to gaining power 1 . Winning the popular vote unlikely based on current turn out figures which is why people are laughing at the idea . 2 . Gaining power via a merger with the ANC or a split in the ANC that merges with them . This is reasonably something to be concerned about . 3 . Civil war and winning . The EFF pretty much entertains the democratic process only so long as it serves them . I think that based on their rhetoric and promises they will move in this direction if options 1 or 2 dont work for them . 4 . Civil war and gaining power via a negotiated settlement . This is the likely option if it comes to arms . Basically the ANC has a history of supporting this kind of settlement and this is to my mind the most probable result in a civil war situation . We write off the EFF at our own peril . You dont need a majority to gain control . Ask the Nazis , ask countries that have gone through civil wars . As for how fucked my family personally will be ? We are looking at leaving the country next year if an offer we get looks good enough . My sisters husband is looking at an option in Australia his company approached him . My inlaws are all highly educated specialists in their fields and routinely get offers to migrate . My mom refuses to leave but she will have options with her kids . My other sister is the only one who may be forced to stay but she has no issue with going to Namibia or Botswana .
