i think people underestimate the extent to which the EFF has an ideological base that exists beyond its leadership. they don’t necessarily support the movement bc they believe its current president is infallible. some people genuinely identify w its political programme, its positions on land and social rights. obviously, the party’s electoral decline is disappointing/shocking and there are various factors worth interrogating, but i don’t believe its supporters are simply going to abandon those convictions bc the party has fallen from grace. even a result between 3% and 5.6% means their vote wasn’t entirely lost. they’re contributing to keeping a political project they believe in represented, and i don’t think the EFF is going to fundamentally change its policies and ideological commitments simply to accommodate its downturn at the polls.
