BMD: Fresh coffee or old wine in new bottles

Those who call in have shown support for the party. Opinions in and around little gatherings also seem in support of the 'Orange' as some have christened it. Whether an 'Orange revolution' will ensue is still open to debate, that the political landscape in this republic has been significantly altered though, appears clear.

Talking to a few people also reveals bits of support for the new movement. "I do not have a problem with them being formed. They can go ahead. After all they wanted to destroy our party but they should have learnt from COPE. They thought they could destroy the ANC but they failed. Tell me who in that party can actually compete with Khama," a BDP member argues.
