In an interview with City Press this week, Zille slammed the party for changing the way in which it conducted its internal polls for the May 8 elections, resulting in misleading figures.
Even when there is an election where four white people stand, someone will find a way into a race referendumZille believes that her “opponents” used race identity politics to target her in an attempt to foil her bid to emerge as chairperson.“Even when there is an election where four white people stand, someone will find a way into a race referendum.”
“I think the controversy around my tweets was very unfortunate and was part of creating a difficult context for the DA, yes,” she said, when asked if her tweets had any bearing on the electoral results. Zille, who has always warned about overreliance on polls, said this week that the party took on a populist approach in conducting its polls.
Opening up about the unravelling of a succession plan which she helped set in motion when she gave embattled leader Mmusi Maimane the nod for the job, Zille said that she was in part responsible.
Well, that is progress, at least. Some.
lol really?
