Episode 37 - DA VS IEC: HERE'S WHY THE DA'S CASE FAILS

The DA thinks the IEC doesn't have legal power to allow political parties to re-submit lists of candidates who will stand for office in the local elections. I initially thought the DA case was decent. I have changed my mind after reading the legal papers of all the parties involved in this dispute.In this analysis, I explain why I think I was wrong, and why the IEC's legal position is coherent, convincing and unanswerable.[PLEASE NOTE THE VOTER REGISTRATION WEEKEND IS ON 18 AND 19 SEPTEMBER. NOT 21 SEPTEMBER AS MISTAKENLY SPOKEN IN THIS EPISODE. THE REST OF THE ANALYSIS REMAINS INTACT]

On In The Ring With Eusebius McKaiser I tackle all the uncomfortable topics that dominate public debate. With my reputation for fearless debate as a former World Masters Debate Champ, and a background in law and philosophy, you can expect debates on everything from whether or not it is racist for a non-black person to quote the N-word, to questions of how to tackle inequality, whether people are responsible for unconscious biases, the ethics of refusing to be vaccinated, the status of animals, debating books, and much more! The crucial differentiator of this podcast series compared to others is that it is fearless in its debate orientation, and no topic is off bounds! However, my motto is: "You are entitled to be treated with dignity .... but NOT to have your worldview affirmed!" So come with well-considered reasons for your viewpoints when you get YOUR chance to come on the platform to In The Ring With Eusebius McKaiser
