| Message | The NPP demonstrate a clear lack of understanding of the purpose and methods of affirmative action. It is not a question of nationals against non-nationals, but giving opportunities to groups that have been historically disadvantaged in society, for example women (who are hardly a national minority), ethnic minorities (whose members are not necessarily non-nationals), and others. |
