participation rates
Brian, this is a facinating report. I have always struggled wt dominant parties like the ANC. in SA, or the other dominant parties in Africa that came out of liberation struggle (in Ethiopia, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Mozambique. Angola ..). In all these cases, there is no clear competition, at least in the short term, and there are perhaps undercurrent of patronage and/or populism at work. In your mind, what it is that makes the difference, in South Africa and elsewhere? Are high participation rates a difining characteristic of an environment where dominant parties emerge in spite of competition?
