Phil Craig: Leader of South Africa's Referendum Party
On this episode, I invite Phil Craig onto the show. He is the leader of South Africa's Referendum Party — a single-issue party whose goal is to call a referendum on the Western Cape province seceding from South Africa. According to polls, 68% of Western Cape voters support holding a referendum, and 58% support independence.
We talk about South African politics and economics, why the Western Cape is so different from other provinces, internal and external migration trends in South Africa, what a free and independent Western Cape province would look like, and why Westerners (and especially Americans) who believe in political self-determination should care about this issue for moral as well as geopolitical reasons. I admire Phil's efforts!
Favorite Phil Craig Quote
“Since 1945, almost every single conflict around the world has its source in the denial of self-determination... It's not people looking to assert their right to self-determination that's the problem; it's when countries deny people the right to live out their existence as they see fit where problems start.” - Phil Craig
