You cannot support the right of self-determination for the people of the Cape but not for the people of Palestine, and vice-versa you cannot support the right of self-determination for the people of Palestine but not for the people of the Cape All people have this right

I think the upper house shouldn’t be an elected body but one that represents different segments (corporates) in society. It would be like the House of Lords in the UK, but instead of aristocracy it’s eg representatives of Universities, Companies on segment X, Relgious group Z etc
