@baba_nyenyedzi Well done on carefully dodging how Brexit was a disaster for growth particularly when it was perpetuated by the “pro-business” Tory government. Everything else is a smoke-screen
@baba_nyenyedzi Imagine if each time there was a change in PM or election there was a crowd storming the parliament buildings claiming that the elections were rigged
@baba_nyenyedzi@fridaydrinks_ Of course. If matters of economic policy and human ways of living were as simple as mathematics then the world would be a much easier (and boring) place. But it’s not, so we shouldn’t pretend it’s that simple.
@baba_nyenyedzi@fridaydrinks_ Whatever semantics you prefer to use, the message of the benefits of free markets is better told when it’s not phrased from a vantage point of “right vs wrong” or “good vs evil” or “you vs us” because that will always imply superiority in one idea over another
@baba_nyenyedzi@fridaydrinks_ Same thing. To the extent that one believes that their worldview is more superior than the other then “right and wrong” or “good and evil” become just a battle of semantics. We are better of acknowledging differences in worldview and not claiming superiority
Here’s a case study from the 2023 election to illustrate how delimitation can unfairly influence the outcome of Parliamentary elections…
Bikita East ➡️ 22k registered voterr
Harare East ➡️ 33k registered voters
There was almost 11k difference between the two. Yet both constituencies elect 1 MP.
Now if you extrapolate that across the entire country, you can see why ZANU PF got more seats in Parliament than their share of votes in the election.
And now they want to make delimitation EVEN LESS independent with #CAB3.
