document.write("I really don't know how will your amalgamation work. On one side you have a racist Helen Zille in the DA, then you have a powerhungry lot in COPE who are still on each other's throats beacause they don't want democratic processes in the party, then you have the micro parties that have life presidents, IFP - Buthelezi, UDM - Holomisa, ID - De Lille, ACDP - Meshoe, FF+ - Mulder, PAC - Mphahlele, APC - Godi, Azapo - Mangena. None of these micro parties can see eye to eye with Madam Helen. She has a different view of transformation. When she was about to get support from the black majority, she stooped to apartheid lows by running a negative STOP ZUMA campaign, and this was interpreted as STOP ANC + STOP AFRICANS. Wgy did she not stick to publicising DA policies on crime, job creation, & BEE and affirmative action. It looks feasible to combine COPE and all micro parties. Then we will have 2 national political parties and DA will remain a WC regional party.. Clive Howell");
