How's this for voter incentives! Yes folks Lynette and I were standing inline to vote; she can I can't (there's no Scottish National party in SA!). Anyway, I see this black Landrover Freelander with a banner displaying the legend, "Your Vote Can Win It!" so I walk across to the DA Rep at the table and ask her when the draw is? "What draw?" she replies. I say the one for the car, pointing to the banner on the back of the Freelander. She then tells me that there is no draw to win the car. In my response I told her it was a cheap trick to draw voters to the DA and I would be reporting them to the ASA (Advertising Standards Association) for misleading the public. My parting shot is that, "I'm not surprised as politicians are always misleading the public by promising what they can't deliver." I then turn to the crowd and tell them not to vote for the DA because nobody is going to win the car. The moral of the story is: "don't vote for politicians, it only encourages them."
