Which of the following does NOT describe the relationship between the country's electoral system and how South African political parties act during elections?
A) The system encourages parties to seek voters outside of their core supporters.
B) Because the electorate is spread out, parties are encouraged to adopt positions that have broad appeal.
C) Because the system does not focus on individual candidates, party leaders put people on their lists that might not win popular support if elections were centered on the appeal of individual candidates.
D) Multiparty competition is encouraged because the double-ballot system allows voters to split their vote, thus allowing even smaller parties the chance to obtain executive office.
E) Parties are unlikely to engage in civil electioneering because the system distributes seats proportionally, thus encouraging parties to win as many as possible.
