Even if the EFF are racist, they're still the least racist of these parties

The ANC unfortunately aren't what they used to be, most of the parties other than ANC and DA are actually crazy, other than a few minor parties it would pretty much be down to DA for me, whose policies I mostly think are decent anyway.

SWRP. I may hold my nose and vote EFF against certain parties though in local races.

These parties are all trash but Economic Freedom Fighters is the best name of any party on earth, so I voted accordingly

DA is the lesser of three evils, but if I were a South African citizen I would abstain. Despite my ideological leanings, as a white person I could never bring myself to vote for the EFF

Surely that title belongs to Fianna Fáil?

Anyway, I would vote VF+.

Pretty sure most black people wouldn’t either.

Interestingly enough, the EFF has shown a willingness to prefer to work with the DA in certain situations. Very odd.

DA, ANC and EFF are too left wing for me, and I'm not voting for anything like VF+.

This is not untypical for countries with a dominant party system, as is the case in South Africa. If the choice is between perpetual opposition and getting into bed with your theoretical worst enemies, minority parties will often do it (Ireland and Japan have thrown up examples of this tendency in the past).

Or most amusingly, when Stephen Dion, the king of Quebecois federalism tried to form a coalition with the seperatist Bloc Quebecois.

As a Democrat, the ANC is the obvious choice. Tongue
