* Figures correspond to the
number of seats currently filled in Parliament
1 - South Africa: The
figures on the distribution of seats do not include the 36 special rotating
delegates appointed on an ad hoc basis, and all percentages given are
therefore calculated on the basis of the 54 permanent seats.
