[RWS]

. . . . elections in all of SA. Never vote for the same party twice.

That practice comes from underlying dissatisfaction with the unchanging situation. And voting against whoever's in power certainly beats violent revolution. (Sadly, though, the parties that come into office aren't much different from those that leave it.)
