I stand for simple justice, equal opportunity and human rights. The indispensable elements in a democratic society - and well worth fighting for.
From Helen Suzman
Debate is almost non-existent and no one is apparently accountable to anybody apart from their political party bosses. It is bad news for democracy in this country.
It is the answers, not the questions, that are embarrassing.
I am provocative, and I admit this. It isn't as if I'm only on the receiving end, a poor, frail little creature. I can be thoroughly nasty when I get going, and I don't pull my punches.
I represent all the enlightened people in this country, and that's a fine thing to be able to do. It infuriates my opponents when I say this, but it is true.
This country is armed to the teeth, and none of these African states could begin to attack South Africa.
I am hopeful about any future for whites in this country, but not entirely optimistic.
I used to be a fan of proportional representation, but I am not at all now I have seen it in action.
My own electorate, which I represented for 36 years as an anti-apartheid politician, had a considerable number of Jewish voters supporting me throughout my career.
I don't think we will ever go the way of Zimbabwe, but people are concerned.
