Flag of the National Party

... that the flag of the National Party (pictured) was the political flag of the governing party of South Africa under apartheid? Source: ICV

Article is new enough; suggest ALT1.2 ... that, in 1994, Nelson Mandela said segregationists only support the flag of the National Party "because they are not sober"? User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 18:29, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Dunkleosteus77: Thanks for the partial review. I'm afraid I'm not in favour of ALT1.2 just because the source doesn't strictly say they were supporters of apartheid (since it had been abolished by that time), it may well have been that they were just anti-ANC but all it says for certain about them was that they were NP members. So I think it best to stick with the original ALT1. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 19:14, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
