Sorry, this is almost laughable. They can hardly get a quorum, now they talk about amending the Constitution allowing them to pass all the laws sitting in Parliament collecting dust ??  Basically, pass a law allowing them to pass a law. Pathetic fools.

 

But she did include the disclaimer....."there is a possibility............"

If they approve the amendments to the constitution in parliament it still has to go to a referendum of the citizens to vote on it. Im assuming that they may do this with the provincial elections in september.
