Passionate article. Question. Do you think, with apparently 80% of S.A. identifying as Christian (a number I don't really believe, but anyway) and the ACDP having such a tiny vote, that Christians in SA really see them as a sort-of representative for their views?
The evident lack of electoral support among Christians speaks to their professed faith not informing their vote over other voting priorities - keeping X party out (strategic vote), rewarding Y party (historical vote), etc. Its not a rejection of ACDP, rather it's wrong priority.

Fair enough. Although, I might argue that it's the "wrong" priority. I've actually voted for you guys several times (but for strategic reasons, ironically. Also I liked your economic policies.) It may also be that a lot of churches are uncomfortable with a political-faith mix.

Is that so different from those churches having what ACDP described as “a wrong priority”?

That’s exactly what I’ve thought: people can believe in a party and want to vote for it but prioritize something above what they like in that party.
