About party flag lettering alternates

I noticed that the simple plain flags with letters are popular between the Argentinian parties (ex.: P.J.), and they are used strongly even if oficial flags bear some other element, and a mimetic situation can happen when we are speaking of people far from Vexillology.

About local/regional political parties

In Argentina there are some local political parties in different provinces. These parties are not separatist parties. None of them ask for independence of their provinces. Their idea is just to rule their provinces. For presidential elections these local parties, sometimes support one candidate of one of the big national parties, and other times a lot of provincial parties have made “federal coalitions” between themselves to try to set up a national political group.
