      <title>Eastern Cape ANC Backs Scrapping Floor Crossing</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The Eastern Cape branch of the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;ANC&lt;/span&gt; has publicly come out in support of the &lt;a href="http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&amp;#38;click_id=6&amp;#38;art_id=vn20070605100059998C845445"&gt;scrapping of legislation allowing floor crossing&lt;/a&gt; I&amp;#8217;m sure to the delight of opposition parties.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;The Eastern Cape branch is considered to be quite influential in the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;ANC&lt;/span&gt;, being the traditional &amp;#8216;spiritual homeland&amp;#8217; of the Xhosa dominated &lt;span class="caps"&gt;ANC&lt;/span&gt;. However some of their recent actions seem to be be little more than attention grabbers, witness their proclamation that President Thabo Mbeki be allowed to rule for a third term. I hope this is not the case this time.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
