Upon the outbreak of WW2, the South African parliament narrowly voted for war, by 80-67.  The parliament had about  110 united party members 27 national party members and a few others.  I'm trying to find a district by district breakdown of the 1938 election to see how close the National party came to winning more seats. Nationwide they won about 31% of the vote, the United party about 52%, which leads me to guess that there were numerous close districts.  If anyone has any link to anything with a district by district breakdown of the vote I'd love to see it.

You probably know this, but there was major malapportionment in South Africa at the time. When the National Party finally came to power in 1948, it didn't come close to a plurality of the vote.
