Dominant Party system in infobox

Like all of its neighbors, Botswana has been controlled continuously by the same political party since independence/decolonization, and has been referred to as such in a number of sources.

Despite this, the appellation "Dominant Party" has not been made to this country in the infobox. I have added the appellation under WP:BOLD, and wished to post for discussion here.
