‘One battle in a wider war’: Voters agree that elections make little difference these days

International Relations Expert Ralph Schoellhammer says the right still believes “the only war that still matters is winning elections” despite failing results.

“The sense among many people, I would say by now even a majority if you look at polls, that elections don’t make a difference,” Mr Schoellhammer told News24 host Rita Panahi.

“Even if you win the election but have no power elsewhere, in media, in the culture sphere, in the NGOs, the results can basically be ignored.”
