The Odd Couple 2
You know I still don’t understand the SACP and their on again/maybe off again relationship with the ANC. For instance the SACP have just released a discussion report, which they claim they were working on for sex six months, dealing with the role of the state. And when the ANC dominated cabinet brushed off the report like you would a yapping maltese poodle the SACP is shocked, shocked, that the ANC does not take their views into consideration.
By know this kind of behaviour between the ANC and the SACP should not suprise anyone and it makes me wonder why the SACP even bother with the tripartite alliance. I guess they’re hoping that come 2009 the ANC will select a suitable left wing candidate as President who will take them more seriously than their current role as household pet communists, but I hope they’re not getting their hopes up.
That being said their differences with the ANC and their reluctance to go it alone is making them seem more and more like the NNP of the left when it comes to politics in that they are willing to tolerate massive ideological differences as long as they have some power.
