Should this page be merged with the New National Party Page?
I suppose that depends on how "new" the NNP really is.
Sources on the Internet claim that it was the "South African Party", and not the Labour party.
Smuts' party was originally the SAP then it merged with the original NP, and this was called the United Party, or 'UP' Shizzel 16:07, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
The name of the party was "National Party" not "Nationalist Party". �Dr.Poison 22:33, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
This looks a similar situation to Sinn Féin with the party dividing at one stage with what is effectively a breakaway rump carrying on the name into later years. See also Liberal Party (UK, 1989) for another party that claims to be a continuation of one that went into a merger, but is legally a different entity. Is it really fair to say there was a single National Party from 1914-2005 or was the 1934 entity a new party of refuseniks? Timrollpickering 11:27, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
Why isn't J.B.M. Hertzog listed as a leader of the National Party? Please correct the list. --Discott 20:58, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Image:NPsouthafrica.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Should we start a new article for the National Party which relaunched itself on the 5 August 2008? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wasabigreen (talk • contribs) 15:39, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
According to this article the National Party was disbanded in 2005, but then there is another article about the New National Party. Should the latter be considered a direct continuation of the National Party or as a new party? The fact that there exists two articles suggests that it is two different parties, but the article about the National Party said that this party was disbanded in 2005, suggesting that the New National Party is a direct continuation. This is a bit confusing to me. --Oddeivind (talk) 14:07, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
Currently this article, Herenigde Nasionale Party and New National Party (South Africa) are inconsistent about whether the different names represent formally different parties or merely a single party that went through rebranding, especially when absorbing smaller groups. Curiously the 1934 split (where there is scope for debate over whether the continuity flows into the United Party or remains with Malan's rump, and for that matter whether Hertzog unmerged out of the United Party in 1939 or was just a breakaway) hasn't yet spawned confusing articles.
"Herenigde Nasionale Party" and "New National Party" look as though they were just rebrandings rather than formally different bodies, though I acknowledge that historically a lot of parties in the Commonwealth were not arranged in a way that makes this an easy distinction. It seems logical to have a single article on the party (with maybe break-outs for individual sections of the history if it gets too long), not multiple articles saying different things.

I am suggesting this be removed as the party's political ideologies but I do not expect it to be removed. I base this on the fact the the National Party was for the most part a union between "whites and colored" and that fact alone is not in keeping with "White Supremacy". Also, Indians were more included in the National Party than blacks. If it is disagreeable to remove White Supremacy then perhaps we could change it to anti-black, or something like that because that represents the true form of the national party. The national party would often include colored and Indians to keep control. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.234.110.66 (talk) 19:10, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
I can't find anywhere what the party's economic policies were. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fartnut (talk • contribs) 02:55, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

It seems that the party was originally third position and corporatist, but adopted a more economic liberal policy during the 1980s and 1990s.--Jay942942 (talk) 19:38, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

Someone keeps removing material in the table describing the details of the party that says that the party ended its support for apartheid in the early 1990s. The article fully acknowledges that the party supported apartheid for many years, however it is very dishonest to remove all mention from the table that the party abandoned support of apartheid in early 90s.
