 (This article is intended for humour purposes only and is not intended to be a in-depth political commentary article. The parties are/were real)

Welcome to Democracy anyone can run. I doesn't matter who you are you can still run your country. If you can't even spell politics or can't tell the difference between a political party and that hazy Friday night last week. If people vote for you, you're in and we all have a front row seat to watch.

So lets have a look at what we've got:

The Deadly Serious Party of Australia



Pic credit: National Library of Australia

This party lasted from 1980 – 1988 it had policies such as despatching killer penguins to protect the cost from invasion by Argentina.

The Sun Ripened Warm Tomato Party (Australia)

It stood candidates in the first Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly elections in 1989 and managed to get 1.17% of the vote.

 

The Party! Party! Party! Party (Australia)

It ran in the Capital Territory Legislative Assembly elections in 1989 and received less votes than the Sun Ripened Warm Tomato Party with only 0.69% of the vote.  

The Beer Lovers Party
 

 

 This party was founded by comedians Johan Golden and Atle Antonsen. It took part in the 2001 elections and got a mind boggling 8%.

Miss Great Britain Party (UK)

The Miss Great Britain Party consists mainly of entrants to the Miss Great Britain competition. The party is run by a MAN called Robert de Keyser and was founded in 2008. The party has a website where you can find out more: Official homepage

Official Monster Raving Loony Party (UK)

Well, then if your little one ever comes to you and asks you the question "will I become President/Prime Minister when I'm big?"

You can always reply

"Yes, but if it does not work out – look at the all the other options to explore"

It's scary to think that these parties actually wanted to run the government, but that Democracy, eh!

Heh, funny parties.
 
Shame you couldn't find out Mr. Blobby's party name, then you could have added it.
 
Soon you'll see the Doctor Who Society Party.

I could not find enough about Mr Blobby to write about or at least verify it really happend (though I'm sure it did(which is not enough proof anyway)).
 
A for the Doctor Who Society Party it will come about in time.

I think that you should write an update article about our present state of government in the US! ALL of the characters are live and identifiable!

P.S it was just a humor article.
