Posit a possible situation a few years back (which was actually a quite distinct possibility at the time):

The pro-Apartheid Afrikaaners, facing 'defeat' of their unpleasantly racist regime, (by force) establish a new, smaller South Africa where they now have a majority over blacks, whom they continue to treat in time-honoured fashion.

They now point out to the world that they are a democratic nation, where a clear majority back the old order of things; and the ANC are now terrorists as they only represent an artificial minority in the new 'state'.

Well, are they or aren't they? Answers on a postcard, please.

You won't get any answers. I've used this hypothetical and no one ever has an answer for it.
