		A general election in South West Africa-Namibia would simply be a formality; a ritual for legitimising the power of the most populous of the many nations that make up this arbitrarily defined area; a licence for the setting up of an Ovambo empire.
		Quite obviously this is not a satisfactory basis for a stable federation and, at the same time, it has helped to discredit the essential principles of ethnic autonomy and federalism, as well as strengthened the hand of politicians who wish to establish in South West Africa-Namibia, a monolithic state on the western model.
		As in Zimbabwe Rhodesia, political leaders in South West Africa-Namibia refuse to admit that their 'parties' are tribally based.
