CEC meeting

necessity of inviting the political parties to fix the voter rolls baffles me. People have been exasperated at the number of parties invited. The rationale of the argument goes that most of these parties are "signboard-only" parties and inviting them to such an event only lends legitimacy to them; the leaders of such "parties" are only looking for photo ops. But their legitimacy should be denied by the voters through rejection at the polls, not by the CEC.

When Marx formulated the concept of communism, I bet it seemed pretty outlandish too, but history bore him out and once the 'un-tenability' of

communism was proved that period of world history was phased out. That is how untenable points of view should be dealt with, not through denial by the government authorities.
