Episode description
The DA thinks the IEC doesn't have legal power to allow political parties to re-submit lists of candidates who will stand for office in the local elections.
I initially thought the DA case was decent. I have changed my mind after reading the legal papers of all the parties involved in this dispute.
In this analysis, I explain why I think I was wrong, and why the IEC's legal position is coherent, convincing and unanswerable.
