CCC's 'strategic ambiguity' is a cover for duplicity

1. BEFORE THE FACT:
#CCC tells the media and the public that using 2007 electoral boundaries for the 2023 general election is out of the question, and proffers a very strong explanation for this position.
2. AFTER THE FACT:
#CCC tells the media and the public that it is okay to use the 2007 electoral boundaries for the 2023 general election, if the ConCourt sets aside the @ZECzim delimitation report in @DMwonzora's case against the report; and unleashes proxies to join #ZEC in court in defence of the position.
3. If any other political party did this, the #CCC brigade would be as mad as hell over this kind of forked-tongue, duplicitous politics where a party says what it does not mean, and means what it does not say, and calls the dishonest approach, "Strategic Ambiguity"!
And does #CCC go to court through proxies? Yes, of course. Listen to the clip.
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that if you don't have a constitution, and structures based on that constitution you go to court not in your own name but through proxies.
It's okay!
Lastly, if like #CCC you are a political party with no constitution and no structures based on that constitution, and you have a random process for selecting candidates for a general election - under the false pretext of using a community based selection system - you run the real risk and possibility that your randomly selected candidates can ditch you at any time before the election, and expose your structureless self; as has done @mazibisalegal who was decent enough to ditch #CCC now rather than after the proclamation of the election, which others - including undercover plantees - might still do.
Random election candidates who opportunistically use the banner of a political party which has no constitution and no structures based on that constitution, cannot be trusted to stand by or with or for that party at all times!
