Do something with the result. Okay, and doing something with the results will also include negotiating coalitions because no party is getting an outright majority in clearly in any even of these metros from what the picture is telling us.

You have to know where your principles are.

Are being completely evascerated and where you can actually do deals. And we know that. We know that there are lines that you shouldn't cross. Is there an opportunity here to replicate what we've seen at GNU level and sort of have those conversations take place at local level? It's too early to say, but look, you know, I'm not in favor of when two parties can do a coalition together, why bring all the other parties in?

And then they're all pulling in different directions and they can never reach agreement. No, I mean, the fewer the parties, the better. Yeah. Okay, and what about ActionSA? And I was saying to Michael Bumont that, of course, every party has had their election strategy, election campaign strategy. And it seemed, I mean, ActionSA was going hard on you as Helen Zille.
