ANC's absolute power
ANC policy is that democrace starts and ends with macro-democracy. Centralization of power and then absolute intollerance for dissent. ANC councillors and members of parliament are not allowed to vote against party policy and of course party policy is that there is no space for any dissent . The current parluamentary system does not have direct representation in the model in order to protect this ANC policy. Why? It is easy to govern a party when no dissent is allowed and where it can only be expressed through macro-democracy. It is easy to pass laws where what the executive committee has decided has to be supported by the members. It is also easy to pass laws with no support by the public like e-toll, because no ANC member is allowed to vote against it.
