Sean McLaughlin: View the coalition options in SA's municipalities

Описание: In his latest interview with Chris Steyn, Sean McLaughlin, the co-founder of Norsira, takes viewers on a road trip to cities and towns in all the provinces across the country to view the coalition options in a big range of cities and towns in the wake of last week’s Local Government Elections outcome. He takes viewers through the political party options in each one. “From top to bottom of the country, you're going to see a very wide variety of deals. Some may be pretty formal coalitions where they formalise things in writing. They take a proportional number of seats in the executive and share the seats accordingly. Some may have some sort of loose arrangements where they agree to work together, but only in the case of passing budgets and maybe electing the mayor and key executive decisions. The junior partner perhaps stays in opposition. That's one option. Maybe they agree to service delivery milestones or metrics or whatever the case may be…we're going to see a very broad array of deals.” * Norsira is an independent information provider on SA municipalities.
