Dear Helen, Please shut up now!

In her weekly rantings (otherwise known as SAToday - A weekly letter from the leader 08/02), Helen Zille's logic escapes me.

1. She ponders on tabling "a motion of no confidence in the President and Cabinet."
2. She immideately therafter confirms that "this would simply allow Jacob Zuma to replace Thabo Mbeki as the President of South Africa" - Fair enough, she followed the Pokokwane conference on TV like all of us.
3. She later goes on to say that: "Judging by the poor calibre and dubious backgrounds of senior members of the newly appointed ANC NEC (from which the Cabinet is traditionally drawn), such a motion would entail replacing a failed regime with one that will take our country further backwards."
4. She concludes by saying: "The Democratic Alliance will next week table a motion in Parliament to dissolve the National Assembly in order for a fresh election to be held."

Am I missing something here? South Africa really needs a real opposition to circumvent the ANC from taking the country to the dogs. The DA is far from an alternative government.

Solidarity.
