Re: So Who Would You Vote For If A General Election Was Called Tomorrow...

Zanu PF pulling 60% of the vote in the early stages...

Zimbabwe is currently going through a period of hyperinflation so bad that you can't buy a Lion bar there anymore, because by the time you pick it off the shelf and get it to the counter, the price has increased 20 trillion % on the label price, and it needs a new price label. By the time this new label is printed, the bar is worth more than the GDP, and another new sticker is needed.

This continues until the bar melts in your hand.

Thats the real cost of mismanagment of an economy folks. No more Lion bars. The WWF has warned that unless something is done Lion bars will be extinct in Africa within 5 years.

Its now so bad Mugabe has been forced to admit that within 5 weeks a gallon of petrol in Zimbabwe might be getting close to the price you pay in England at the moment, namely £1.4 trilllion. If that happens Zanu PF have hit rock bottom.
