Talk:List of frivolous political parties

There may be a trouble in deciding what constitutes a "frivolous" or "joke" party (List of satirical parties, anyone?). Some this kind of groups constitute a single satirical joke; one Russian joke party (whose name I have unfortunately forgotten) proposed exporting heat from South East Asia to Siberia, for example, but apparently little else.

By the way; does anybody know if there is any truth in a tale that there was a British "joke party" who proposed digging a tunnel between Britain and the Falkland Islands? -Nilmerg 09:08, 4 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I wonder if the Marijuana Party of Canada would count. :P --Lucky13pjn 05:53, Nov 21, 2004 (UTC)

The Peace and Freedom Party began as a serious party, but it has degenerated into a frivolous party. That's why I put it up there. This represents a particular problem - what happens when a serious political party turns into a frivolous party? This problem is why I have not restored it to the article.

Could there be a link to the few cases of animals being nominated for election?

[edit] Veritas

Do Veritas count? - by 71.118.48.248 (talk • contribs)

  • Hmm... I don't think it was founded as a joke or even protest party - Skysmith 06:22, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Natural Law party

This is not a frivolous party, since they are actually serious about their aims. Similar reasoning would apply to the Marijuana Party of Canada, or indeed (sadly) Veritas. Just because you find them funny doesn't make them frivolous. --Spudtater 00:57, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
