In response the President said that the two alliance partners were not and will not influence the policies of the ANC, to do not vote on such matters, they are just observers. What do we make out of this statement comrades? it is a very loaded statements, I say this because under TM's regime the main complaint from the alliance partners was that of being left out of decision making process and lack of consultation. I know that the relations have been improved in the alliance post polokwane, but am very disturbed if consultation and other meetings of the alliance will yield no concrete results for other partners. What would be the value of consultation if recommendations are not being taken? I further do understand that the ANC has a choice to accept or reject the recommendation of other alliance partners, but is more problematic if such remains a casting stone that condemns them to becoming weaker arms in an alliance. Educate me comrades...
