Donald Duck Party

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Donald Duck Party (Kalle Anka-partiet) is a Swedish joke political party that gets votes without really existing. For a long time,^{[citation needed]} it was unregistered and had neither leaders nor members, until Bosse Person registered it (along with a number of other parties). He is still the only member, though.

At the very most, the Donald Duck Party has scored enough write-in votes at points theoretically to be the country's ninth-most popular (in 1991, it received 1,535 votes^{[citation needed]}). At that time, the political platform mainly contained the points "free liquor and wider sidewalks".

In the 2002 national election, the party received only 10 of 5,303,212 total votes.^{[citation needed]}

In the 2006 elections, the party (including all spellings) received 225 votes, placing it in the middle of the pack - 21st place out of about 40 parties running for office. All votes were write-in.^[1]

Being outranked by the Donald Duck party is generally considered an embarrassment for parties that portray themselves as serious contenders.^{[citation needed]}
