ANC NEC opts for a Government of National Unity Given where we are at this juncture, and in particular the having regard and respect of the electoral outcomes, the ANC could well have retreated to a "leftist" government and easily cajoled the EFF/IFP and possibly even the MKP into a governing arrangement. The fact that it has now opted to pursue a GNU is in fact the ANC taking the bold step to subordinate its Party Political interests in favor of an inclusive/broader National interest.

Over 75% of Democratic voters support an immediate and permanent ceasefire now. So why aren't 75% of Democrats in Congress doing the same? Because AIPAC & their GOP donors bought their silence.
