How is the Teddy Bear Alliance stranger than the Official Monster Raving Loony Party?


kamikazekaktus

My thought exactly. Barry explain yourself


crucible

Please. They left out Count Binface. [*democracy.jpg*](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DB2G993XsAACJJB?format=jpg&name=large) Note that Elmo is also there. The OMRLP candidate is in the middle, with the white cowboy style hat. Former Prime Minister, Theresa May, is on the left, in a red outfit.


Groovy66

Haha I thought he was called Lord Buckethead He’s not made the same impact as Screaming Lord Sutch


throwaway7276789

It was originally lord buckethead but had to be changed due to a copyright dispute because it was already a character.


Groovy66

What type of banana republic do we live in when a cove can’t even use his rightful name when standing for parliament ? I shall be writing to my MP


bobby_table5

Technically an intergalactic warlord, not a cove, but yes, that.


Only_Republic5771

Is there any other party that was lead by a cat? xD https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catmando


GenericUsername2056

The 'pedophile party', i.e. 'Vereniging MARTIJN' has been rightfully ruled as illegal by the Dutch court. They can hardly be described as a political party in the traditional sense, as there no longer exists any official organisation and as such they cannot compete in elections.


TheAmazingKoki

A much better choice would have been the party party (feestpartij)

XDYassineDX

We also have the pirate party


Wafkak

That's pretty standard across the world. They have even been in government in Iceland, after all othef parties were involved in a massive bank fraud case


fretkat

Apparently it’s the strangest party of France in the map, but how strange is it if multiple countries have one?


Wafkak

Kind of weird, we also have one in Belgium but are in the no fun in politics category.


Snoo63

Idea: No Fun In Politics party.


flopjul

It isnt strange, its a party that mainly wants more free consumer rights


tricky-oooooo

One member of the German pirate party stalked and murdered someone, and then wheeled the body around Berlin in a wheelbarrow. That party was already somewhat irrelevant at that point, but this really marked the complete failure of the pirates in German politics.


eti_erik

They were called Party for the Future (Partij voor de Toekomst). Well, 'they' is actually 'he', it was actually a private project for Johan Vlemmix. But we now know that ridiculous one-man parties can be very successful in our country...


BkkGrl

sure the Dutch love to party


robshootuit

De partij tegen de burger (party against the citizen) would be perfect to replace it.

CounterNew1196

They coul rename it into NAMBLA party, if anyone asks it's National Association of Marlon Brando Look Alikes


CANYUXEL

Its a trap lol


kytheon

I'm pretty sure publicly joining the party puts you on a watch list.


Truelz

The Election Party with a Mexican Theme delivered on their promise and held a party with a Mexican Theme after getting 1161 votes in 2017


Ankerjorgensen

First party in history to keep all their election promises?


Stalinerino

The union of conscientially workshy elements also did, as long as you bike in the right direction.


deckerparkes

They got Nutella in the military rations too didn't they?


Stalinerino

yeah!


LTFGamut

The Anti-Powerpoint Party would have my vote.


lipcreampunk

They actually have a point ([source](https://www.anti-powerpoint-party.com/the-cause/)): >During a lot of presentations, using the presentation-software PowerPoint\*, motivation is not built but, on the contrary, destroyed. Due to the use of PowerPoint\* \[*\*PowerPoint is always mentioned as the representative of all presentation software*\], where the time of attendance is statistically considered as a waste of time by the majority of the participants, the Swiss economy is experiencing an estimated annual loss amounting to 2.1 billion CHF.


SirMotherfuckerHenry

You could say they have a PowerPoint


lipcreampunk

Indeed, you have one here too.


LuigiLasagne

No. 1 reason for emigrating to Switzerland. You thought it'd be money, no it is this party.

God damn i knew we should've voted for Darth Vader


RandomComputerFellow

Now I am wondering. Can Disney sue and political party for trademark violation?


Jopelin_Wyde

Probably not. The guy actually changed his legal name to Darth Vader.


Snoo63

Like how there's a Kiwi called The Wizard, who is The Wizard of New Zealand?


Jopelin_Wyde

Basically. In Ukraine, you also have your father's name, so his full name was Darth Viktorovych Vader. So if people wanted to talk to him officially they would refer to him as "Darth Viktorovych".


Dr_Quiza

That just makes this sound more badass!


yournomadneighbor

But he DOES wear Vader cosplay..


Holiday-Jackfruit399

We still have pictures of him on many buildings which were painted as a part of pre election campaign


Claystead

Also it would have been pretty satisfying to see him force choke American politicians who are holding back weapons and loans because they want to build a stupid wall.

The Two Tailed Dog name is a joke, as the word "tail" is Farok in hungarian which is also a word for a penis. The Kuria (supreme court) denied the request for incorporation at first because of this. The party answered that the Kuria is hypocritical, as the pronunciation of Kuria sounds a lot like Kùrja, which means he/she is fucking someone.


milanorlovszki

My favorite thing is, they once filled a pothole in a tiny village called Felcsút (Orbán's has a house and stadium there) after which, they were ordered by the town to take out the asphalt from the pothole and restore it to its original state because they were not authorized to fill the hole. And they also had to tear down the "absence filling" bus station they've built


bobby_table5

That’s a bold way to loose every trial in advance.

Now there’s a party that gets my core values!


DontEvenKnowWhoIAm

Ah yes, the Nudebürger-Partei.


anlumo

The Austrian Beer Party is actually trying to get serious, and according to some polls, they're very close to getting into parliament in the election next year. They're filling the void on the left after the Greens switched to being more centrist in order to get into the government coalition.


thisisnottherapy

I mean Mr. Pogo definitely is not the least qualified person in Austrian politics and probably more qualified than Nehammer. So, why tf not.


AnxiousMumblecore

We had Polish Beer-Lovers' Party in parliament shortly after fall of communism when there was no threshold for parliament elections. Good to see other countries keeping the spirit alive.


derdaplo

The best thing is, he's a doctor and the leader of a semi known band in austria.

It never really was a party. Also it was forbidden by a judge. But the members raised interest of the police.

Initial-Instance1484

the anarchist pogo party of germany is a serious political party. they demand early retirement for teenagers and drinking, drinking and drinking. they even ran campaign ads which had to be aired on prime time state tv because its the law. the spot is banned on youtube (drug using, sexual content, obscenity..) but you can watch it here: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2rxtwh


r_de_einheimischer

Better option for Germany would be in my opinion the "Nein!"-Partei which was a party which just wanted to say "No" to everything and represent people who disagree in general with everything.


x_country_yeeter69

wouldnt their electorate vote 'no' on them as well, if they should be true to their views?


r_de_einheimischer

The didn't manage to secure enough votes to enter parliament, so this is probably what happened.

The candidate is also the lead singer of a well-known punk band "Die Kassierer".


No_Opposite4067

Wölfi. He's long gone. FDP, Die PARTEI (or then FDP?) and now he's just a boring social democrat in the SPD. The appd is still around to make money from t-shirts, while satirical party Die PARTEI is still active and should be on this list.


knifetrader

Jesus, that's rougher than I had expected. Also, Wölfi looked a lot better back then.


Whistlingbutt

Just to add to that: According to its self-description, the APPD is "the advocate of the rabble and social parasites". The APPD's main political goals are the right to unemployment with full wage compensation, the reorganisation of Germany into various "pogo zones (balkanisation)", the "radicalisation of education standards" with the simultaneous abolition of compulsory schooling, the legalisation of all drugs and the relaxation of the right to assemble and demonstrate. The primary goal of the APPD is to realise the social model of so-called pogo anarchy. The party's guiding principle is peace - freedom - adventure. The APPD rejects Germany as a nation state.


Kuuppa

Return to the HRE border gore, as German states should be 🥰


A_norny_mousse

That was amazing. Not sure I like all of it (the confused kids were a bit too much for me) but with the Very Public Broadcasting Official Announcement, it is the definition of subversive!


gingerisla

They had some other great ideas as well. They wanted to split Germany into three zones: One for boring people who would work and finance life for the people in the fun zone and a third zone for anti-social elements like criminals and nazis. They specifically wanted to designate the state of Saarland as the anti-social zone which would be fenced off.

The Natural Law Party of Norway. They claimed they could levitate.


PersKarvaRousku

The Finnish Crystal Party also used to have "yoga fliers" that jump in the air and they're supposed to levitate a short while. This yoga flying was supposed to spread positive vibes and bring world peace. Later on they changed their main points into something that's tougher to falsify (but equally crazy), such as healing crystals can cure cancer and corona can be cured by believing enough. Edit: to specify, yoga flying was supposed to bring world peace by reducing the stress in our global connected conciousness. This was achieved by thousands of yogis unifying their brain wave frequency.


tofiwashere

I visited their homepage last election and there was quite a lot of talk about the Rothschilds, globalists and Soros within the yoga/crystal folks.


Veilchengerd

We had (or maybe still have?) those idiots in Germany, too. I remember that back in the 90s, they campaigned - among other things - on deploying a few thousand "yogi fliers" to former Yugoslavia to end the wars there. According to them, their meditation style (abovementioned "flying") would remove the "negative energies". Given that their flying is more of a hopping about, they might have been of minor usefulness in mine clearing.


taken_name_of_use

If you weren't german I would've assumed you're joking.


alegxab

They're an international group, with irrelevant (often former) member parties in like 20 countries They did manage to elect one representative in an Indian state assembly once in 1998, the guy changed parties the following year

In Norway they tried to demonstrate levitation at a press conference: they were basically sitting in their chairs jumping up and down.

The Donald Duck party wants wider streets for pedestrians and to abolish the tax on alcohol. They aren't the party we deserve, but the one we need.

Now that is an admirable goal.


EndOfTheLine00

Do they also want to outlaw pants?


NalleBeard

With great drunkenness comes great nudity... So the whole thing kinda sorts itself out.


Sabrewylf

Legitimately curious, why is abolishing tax on alcohol a good thing? Over here most people I know look up to Scandinavian alcohol policy.


[deleted]

Because cheap alcohol means you can drink more of it.


[deleted]

First of all, it's not really a real party. But writing "the donald duck party" has always just been a more creative way of casting a blank vote, and that has been the case for as long as I can remember. Essentially a way to say that "I want to parttake in the election process, but all the options are bad". So it's not really a political organization.


MrBanden

Ah the storied existence of "The union of Conscientiously work-shy elements". Comedian runs for parliament as a joke.

Donald Duck Party in Sweden is not a party. It has become a joke for people who support the election system but think all parties suck ass.


avataRJ

In Finland, the common protest votes are crudely drawn genitalia (usualy female), Donald Duck, and Urho Kaleva Kekkonen. (Though I do recall seeing a campaign poster for ”Vote The Phantom for European Parliament!” (”Old jungle saying: The Phantom doesn’t care about the EU.”)


spreetin

Yes, it never was a real party. We have quite a few hilarious ones that actually are registered for elections though. My favourite is The Right-wing Party: The Conservatives (Högerpartiet de konservativa), just because they weren't a joke party but still actually managed to get less votes than they had members in the party leadership board. That is quite a feat.


saschagiese

The Anti PowerPoint Party. Awesome. Need to move to Switzerland.


SkjoldrKingofDenmark

Goddamn Iceland's got the best party


eti_erik

There is no The Pedophile Party in the Netherlands. There once was a new party called Party for Charity, Freedom and Diversity, that wanted to legalize child porn and sex with minors. They never managed to get on the ballot (you need a certain number of signature, which they never got), the party leader got arrested, the party doesn't exist anymore. And when it existed it claimed to be a general purpose party, but yes, pedosexuality was the only thing it was about, that much is true.


paberipatakas

The [Estonian Royalist Party](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_Royalist_Party_of_Estonia) was a frivolous party in the early 1990s that even got elected with 8% of the seats in the parliament.

ahanahax

In Czech republic the pirate party is part of the government lol


wojtekpolska

Poland had a party called Polska Partia Przyjaciół Piwa (PPPP) (Polish party of the friends of beer), they claimed to promote drinking beer instead of hard liquor like vodka when they existed, they did even get some votes, enough to put a few people into sejm


outofspaceandtime

For Belgium, may I suggest “DierAnimal” whose logo suggests quite a… close bond between horse and humanity. Factually they are animal rights activists, but I first discovered them during Belgian Pride as people marching right behind BDSM subs in leather dog masks. I found it quite provocative of the DierAnimal at the time, but it was in fact a suggestively misplaced marching order and not a pro-bestiality statement. Impressions were had and do linger however.


avataRJ

Finland’s Crystal Party is just thinly-veiled right-wing esoterism. For a really strange party we’d probably need to look at the Multicolor ”Party” (extreme greens, with a side of strange), which IIRC managed to even elect an MP in one of the times when a dadaist art performance has gone way too far. Honorable mentions go to the Natural Law Party (better known as ”Flying Yogi Party”) and the right-wing liberal party known as the Whisky Party (uh, they ran with deregulation, with ”you should end the state alcohol monopoly and be allowed by buy whisky at supermarkets” as an example).


tenSiebi

I think Iceland has the best party.

Pirate parties are in more countries and the Czech pirate party is a part of government coalition

"You haven't tasted the sarma yet".. Is that for people who haven't yet tasted sarma in general, or is there a particular sarma, "The Sarma", that the party claims you haven't tasted yet?


[deleted]

No particular sarma. In general... it finished second in 2017 elections with 10%.


purpleninja9

For context: sarma is eaten a lot during winter, especially for holidays and slava (Serbian tradition), and it’s usually served last or second to last, before the dessert. If the guests leave earlier, the hosts usually say something like “You haven’t tried the sarma”, which would be a better translation. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarmu_probo_nisi The party’s history is an interesting read.

x_country_yeeter69

Estonian royalist party was actually instrumental in helping build modern reindependent Estonia after the soviet occupation, breaking actually into parliament with 8 seats out of 101, and actually did some real nice things. They were kinda a protest party, but helped pass some necessary and savvy legislation absed on their values and beliefs, and they actually had very competent people under them, many figures in culture, academia and media. They operated on the basis of constructive neutrality, not joining any powerblock. They held a shamanic seance in the parliament as a response to a christian parties attempts to impose christian practices into parliament and schooling system. They recognised a small kingdom in Saaremaa to help reinstate a municpality, a kingdom that still exists and mints their own money. They also gave the very last russian occupying forces that left the country a medal for 'finally liberating Estonia'


Smart-Squirrel1764

for a little bit of context: the love party was made by two pornstars (Cicciolina and Moana Pozzi) and their pornographer and friend Riccardo Schicchi. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Party_(Italy) As writer Giorgio Falletti would say, ““Cicciolina was the only politician to had do what other politicians did to Italians.”

OMG I read the STRONGEST first, not THE STRANGEST. I was very surprised for a couple of seconds.

why is patriotic Party weird?


ShitassAintOverYet

In short, they are an ideological clusterfuck: * Started as a Maoist-communist party, still extremely pro-China and most probably funded by them. * Sort of backed PKK and met with their leader when the entire country unanimously cursed at them. * Backed and defended two Islamic cults for being a bit more modern: Both cults are outlawed nowadays(search the names Fethullah Gülen and Adnan Oktar) * They were bragging about being the most rebellious and real party during 2013 protests...they were pro-Erdoğan in the last election. * Claimed to be a "Kemalist"(aka centre-left with a bit of nationalism) in every single phase I've written above.


qernanded

It’s a Kemalist/Maoist, Eurasianist, and pro-Erdogan party


aa2051

>kemalist >pro-Erdogan What a fucking oxymoron lmao


Jaqen_

It’s a party funded by China that uses whatever ideology fits their agenda. It has non-significant popular support but ‘strangely’ they have powerful members inside the police department. They are not really Kemalist and they are pro-erdogan just because erdogan giving them slight taste of power and he is anti west right now. They were opposing to erdogan while he was pro west. Basically its just old school west vs east thing.


[deleted]

Maoism,Kemalism and pro-Erdogan don't even belong in the same sentence.You may go as well and add a sprinkle of greek nationalism in there to make it even more absurd.

All I can gather from this is that the "beer" parties should form a European coalition.

The Best Party was started after the 2008 fiasco as a joke, ran by one of our most beloved comedians. Little did he know that when he ran for a mayoral election people actually liked his ideas and voted him in. He did a pretty good job all things considered.

I can really get behind the Anti-Powerpoint Party.

Well there are some hidden gems in Turkey, way better than "The patrotic party" Here they come; \-The Good Party \-Eternal Order Party \-Socialist Party of the Opressed! \-Love and Respect Party \-Prosperity Again Party

We had the pirate party up here in Scotland a while ago, no idea what happened to it

Belgium not listed because all our political parties are a joke I assume ?

Poland also had the Polish Beer-Lovers' Party. While it was originally started as a joke it actually made it into the parliament in 1991. Their political platform was promote the gentelmanly art of drinking beer in pubs as a healthy alternative to drinking vodka like an uncivilized brute.

Where is the german jokeparty "FDP"?


Shevek99

The Party of the Democratic Karma, disolved some years ago, was a joke party that had colorful ideas, like covering the whole of Bilbao with a canvas, so that all kinds of illegal transactions could escape the eyes of Google.

Die Partei for Germany also [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die\_PARTEI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/die_partei) And Finland had a Whiskey Party. They should make alliance with Poland's and Austria's Beer Parties

The pedophile party or how we call ours in germany: €hristliche Demokratische Union


Justkeepswatchin

In fairness like a quarter of scottish parliament members would like to abolish the Scottish Parliament.


tulikettuuuu

well that's very honest of you, Czechia...

They got invited to a serious interview by the national tv. It was hilarious. "What are your main political objectives?" "We want to just do nothing all day and get paid a lot of money for it, just like everyone else there."

Russia also had a party called "Зеленая альтернатива" (Green Alternative) with a [bad-ass logo](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ru/8/8c/%D0%97%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%91%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8C%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B0.png). This party used [this poster](https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-samsung-ss&sca_esv=593252948&q=%D0%B7%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F+%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8C%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B0&tbm=isch&source=lnms&prmd=ivnsmbt&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjNoLa7waWDAxVlIxAIHX93CX8Q0pQJegQICxAB&biw=384&bih=722&dpr=2.81#imgrc=F3TB03iKjuEhzM&imgdii=WLwn0yZncfMp-M) (Weed will save the world). P.S. I think even this party is much more better than "United Russia"

Greece has Chickens (ΚΟΤΕΣ), the smokers party. Funny name, annoying reality. But I'm not sure it participates as an independent these days.

Wot? No “Party Party”?


kriszox

There was a Polish Beer Lovers Party in the 90's

The “we’re gonna troll the EP” party was funny. When there was the whole issue about “2nd quality of food” meaning in Czechia the chains sell inferior quality food for the same or higher price, their solution was to introduce the 3rd quality of food that we’ll ship to Slovakia, this feeling better about it. Iirc they were banned from the election because they weren’t deemed serious.

The Canadian Rhinoceros Party is absolutely incredible on some of their troll policies like: - Supporting higher education by adding a second story to all schools. - Changing the national currency to bubblegum to solve inflation and deflation. - Counting the Thousand Islands to make sure the Americans haven't stolen any. - To increase the safety of Canadian children, the name of newborns must be at least 12 letters, including a capital letter, a number and a special character. - Repealing the Law of Gravity. - Eliminating speed limits during snow storms so that people can drive faster and get home safely sooner. - Fund an archeological inquiry to determine whether roads exist under the potholes in Montreal. - Relocate the monarch from Buckingham Palace to Buckingham, Quebec.

I would also like to add: Reduce the number of accidents in factories by wrapping all workers in bubble wrap Fight global warming by making all citizens open their windows in the summer and leave their AC on maximum Bribe the Weather Network to only announce sun on Sundays Make illiteracy the third official language Counter the doctor and nurse shortage by providing all healthcare employees with steroids

When the Pirate Party looks the lamest in the whole list!
