Joke Political Parties

[Tokyo VigilanteX]

Maybe this will help cool the heated political debates? Anyone know of any good Joke Political Parties?

A big one here in Canada was the "Rhino Party" back in the 80s, where they were quite successful.

The party, which claimed to be the spiritual descendants of Cacareco, a Brazilian rhinoceros who was elected member of São Paulo's city council in the 1950s, listed Cornelius the First, a rhinoceros from the Granby Zoo, east of Montreal, as its leader. It declared that the rhinoceros was an appropriate symbol for a political party since politicians, by nature, are "thick-skinned, slow-moving, dim-witted, can move fast as hell when in danger, and have large, hairy horns growing out of the middle of their faces."

platform promises;

• • Repealing the law of gravity
  • Paving Manitoba to create the world's largest parking lot
  • Providing higher education by building taller schools
  • Instituting English, French and illiteracy as Canada's three official languages
  • Tearing down the Rocky Mountains so that Albertans could see the Pacific sunset
  • Making Montreal the Venice of North America by damming the St. Lawrence River
  • Abolishing the environment because it's too hard to keep clean and it takes up so much space
  • Annexing the United States, which would take its place as the third territory, after the Yukon and the Northwest Territories (Nunavut did not yet exist) in Canada's backyard, in order to eliminate foreign control of Canada's natural resources
  • Ending crime by abolishing all laws
  • Paving the Bay of Fundy to create more parking in the Maritimes
  • Turning Montreal's Saint Catherine Street into the world's longest bowling alley
  • Adopting the British system of driving on the left; this was to be gradually phased in over five years with large trucks and tractors first, then buses, eventually including small cars and bicycles last
  • Selling the Canadian Senate at an antique auction in California
  • Putting the national debt on Visa
  • Declaring war on Belgium because a Belgian cartoon character, Tintin, killed a rhinoceros in one of the cartoons
  • Offering to call off the proposed Belgium-Canada war if Belgium delivered a case of mussels and a case of Belgian beer to Rhinoceros "Hindquarters" in Montréal (the Belgian Embassy in Ottawa did, in fact, do this)
  • Painting Canada's coastal sea limits in watercolour so that Canadian fish would know where they were at all times
  • Banning guns and butter, since both kill
  • Banning lousy Canadian winters
  • Renaming the country Nantucket
  • Donate a free rhinoceros to every aspiring artist in Canada

Canadian sense of humor, ftw!

Oh, wow. That is funny.

[Zigra]

psh.

You want a real joke?

Republican & Democrat.

Longest-running joke in American History.

[Gorjirus]

Really?

I thought "Yo mamma" was.

[Archaic_Avenger]

For once, I agree with Dr. Strangelove.

There never has been or ever shall be a political party or method that is not riddled with incompetence. And they wonder why young people wont vote...

I dunno. The NSDAP was pretty competent, if nothing else..

[Morgoth]

Are you kidding? Just for starters, they gave Goering the Luftwaffe! That fat **** wasn't competent to run the friggin Reichspost!

That is an insult to mankind.

While they didn't do anything really stupid, one party that always makes me laugh whenever I hear about it is the Bull Moose party.

heh heh....Bull Moose....who actually names their party after a moose?

[Gorjirus]

You do know that a moose is the most dangerous member of the deer family and kill people every year, right?

[Tokyo VigilanteX]

Gor' is right. I've seen videos of Moose going out of their way to try and stomp small dogs that were yapping at them.

[Zigra]

As somebody who lives in central Alaska where moose are very common, I can say that Gor is correct. A cow moose won't hesitate to trample anybody who gets between her and her calf. In fact, as strange as this may sound to you southerners, an enraged cow moose is actually more dangerous than a grizzly bear.

I stand corrected.

hmmm....I wonder if the "Cow Moose Party" would've been any more popular than the Bull Moose one.

[Raptor]

Here's a list of ones already taken in the U.S.

The "Know Nothing" Party is one that immediately came to mind, mainly because whenever you get a big enough group together, NO ONE seems to know what anyone else is doing.

The Rhino Party should get with the Natural Law Party. Adherents believe that all political problems can be solved through meditation. Keep at it and you might can levitate.
