Talk:National Council of Provinces

message: I've seen reference to "Members of Provincial Parliament" on the web. Is this correct? Rich  Farmbrough 22:13 30  March 2006 (UTC).
:(Bit of a late reply:) No, MPP's (or MPL's) are representatives in the parliament/legislature of a specific province (somewhat, I suppose, like MSP's in Scotland). Members of the NCOP, I would imagine, are just referred to as "Members of Parliament" since Parliament is made up of both the National Assembly (which is what people usually think of) and the NCOP. I don't know what the formal title/suffix would be, though. - htonl 19:20, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

message: The numbers in the seating diagram show only ANC and DA members, yet the table shows that there are members from the Ecnomic Freedom Fighters, Inkhata Freedom Party, National Freedom Party and the United Democratic Movement. It just seems a glaring contradiction!95.148.32.124 (talk) 17:45, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: You're absolutely right; that seating diagram was incorrect. I have replaced it with a correct one. - htonl (talk) 21:44, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

This accords with the party distribution in the official list of permanent delegates but there's no official source I can cite for the special delegate calculations, other than the algorithm set out in the Act. - htonl (talk) 20:32, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
