Default Multiparty democracy

Sponsor's Message
Really, I know of nations that go out of their way to maintain their pluralistic demcracies. To an extend that endowments from both the ruling regimes and private institutions encourage and facilitate that purpose. I actually once even had concluded that while SWAPO remains politically as dominant, may be forced to get involved in the incubation as well as the maintenance of exixsting but weaker system components, for its own sake and for the nation's well being. Then came this RDP and now I am absolutely astonished with SWAPO leaders and followers views or whatever it is. At the moment SWAPO has an overwhelming 54 plus 6 seats out of 78 seats in the lower house that is about 78% and 24 seats out of 26 in the upper house. To discourage and /or to fail to contribute to the prosperity of its so-called oppositions is suicidal. Unless it dangerously flirts with totalitarian rule, by default. Which could rightfully be blamed on its actions and propaganda of intolerance.

Maybe because it is Saturday morning, but: Rather a benign autocracy than a chaotic democracy.

No, come on. Even the staunchest of the SPYL hooligans could agree. This open discussion about how to keep not to lose power. While putting up an innocent facade.
