Talk:United Party (South Africa)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Although more moderate than its National Party opponents, the United Party was committed to white supremacy." This seems a bit POV. According to In Search of History, Grade 12 (Mulaudzi, Bottaro and Visser): "There were disagreements over racial policies, because some United Party members were opposed to segregation." --Taejo 11:19, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Anglo African Party

"It is often said that the United Party was a more Anglo-African party." I think this can be proved by various means, such as public opinion surveys and geographical distribution of votes. I'm looking for relevant data.Dynzmoar 11:08, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

• Well, the only thing that I know is that it was generaly seen as a party that representet the "English" population of whites. But the party also had many Afrikaner voters, so it would be wrong to say that it was only a Anglo-African party. Well, it was actually myself who wrote that line and it has proven to be wrong in many ways, so I think that should be edited. Dr.Poison 21:31, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
