26th South African Parliament

 * ... that 13 different political parties are represented in the 5th Democratic Parliament of South Africa?

New article created today; prose propotion just exceeds 1500 characters (1508); neutrally-written, no sign of copyvio or close paraphrasing. Hook fact moderately interesting, no BLP issues. Just one problem: the source cited for the hook fact doesn't support the assertion that there are 13 parties in this Parliament. The source gives the tallies for the previous 4 democratically-elected parliaments, but not the 2013 Parliament. I think that this can be easily fixed by using the source linked but not footnoted in the list of parties: the Electoral Commission's list of results. I made an edit to show how this would work, and self-reverted because I don't want to impose my solution. So the nominator should feel free to reinstate my edit if they like it, or adopt another solution if they prefer... but we do need the hook fact to be accurately referenced! -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:28, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Symbol possible vote.svg I was going to promote this, however I have been unable to verify that this is the "26th parliament of South Africa". Gatoclass (talk) 12:23, 26 June 2014 (UTC)


 * I was just following on earlier articles, I could move it to "5th Democratic Parliament of South Africa" if you would like. Nathan121212 (talk) 14:04, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
