How many potential voters did she lose? I don't think many. I think the people who gave her grief over it weren't DA voters or potential DA voters in any event.

I think the DA lost a significant part its support base with its Zille witch hunt and they can now only bargain on the white guilt vote.

So another question: Is the DA going to gain enough additional voters to compensate for those who are now no longer going to vote DA?

And I disagree that Zille placed them in this position. The DA did this to themselves by washing their dirty laundry in a twar instead of by following its own internal processes.
