  • The United National South West Party (UNSWP), auch deutsch Vereinigte Nationale Südwestpartei und afrikaans Verenigde Nasionale Suidwes Party (VNSWP), war eine politische Partei in Südwestafrika, dem heutigen Namibia. Die Partei wurde formal am 31. Januar 1927 in Windhoek aus einem Zusammenschluss der , der National Party of South West Africa und der gegründet. Sie wurde 1975 aufgelöst. Die Partei wollte eine gleichwertige Gegenstimme zum Deutschen Bund für Südwestafrika bilden. Sie war ein großer Unterstützer der Eingliederung Südwestafrikas in die Südafrikanische Union. Die Partei gewann nach ihrer Gründung sofort die Wahlen 1929 zur South West African Legislative Assembly. Sie gewann auch die darauffolgenden Wahlen 1934, 1940 und 1945. Ab Ende der 1940er Jahre wanderten zahlreiche Parteimitglieder zur neuen, am 28. Juli 1939 gegründeten National Party of South West Africa ab. Diese gewann daraufhin auch erstmals 1950 die Wahlen.

It was formed through a merger of National Party of South West Africa and the South West Party, in order to counter the influence of the . The first congress of UNSWP was held in Windhoek on 1–2 April 1927. The UNSWP favoured incorporation of South West Africa into South Africa, and won elections to the Legislative Assembly elections in 1929, 1934, 1940 and 1945. With the coming of the National Party of South West Africa in the late 1930s, some Afrikaners switched loyalties to the new party. Meanwhile, after 1939 the policy of the UNSWP tended to follow Gen. Smuts instead of Gen. Hertzog, in part because of the fear of a new German interest in the territory. It continued to control the Legislative Assembly until 1950, at which point it held fifteen of the eighteen seats. But the National Party had won control in South Africa in 1948, and in 1950 elections in Namibia the National Party won sixteen seats while the UNSWP retained only two (which it lost in 1966). However, they continued running for the six local seats in the House of Assembly of South Africa in five South African general elections, in 1953, 1958, 1961, 1966, and 1970. Despite good organization and the support of over 40% of South-West Africans in the first three of those elections, the party never succeeded in sending a single representative to the House of Assembly. The main publication of UNSWP was the newspaper Die Suidwes Afrikaner. (en)
