Not quite. Citing "List of frivolous political parties": "Estonia: Independent Royalists (Sõltumatud Kuningriiklased) (defunct after winning 8 seats out of 101 in 1992)". BTW: Estonian Royalists, too, acted on the serious problems in their own funny ways. An example. In 1992 (if I recall it correctly), there were attempts to start parliament sessions with a prayer; these were dropped after the Royalists started beating a shaman drum, referring to the religious freedom in a secular state (as there is no state church in Estonia). --Oop 21:19, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism
[edit] This article is an attractive target
I Think its safe to say that any actually serious parties being mentioned inappropriately in this article, such as linking the "Democratic Party" under the "See Also" heading, can be counted as vandalism. I'll remove that one now, but maybe its worth examining and monitoring the article. The Democratic part happens to be well enough known to be easy to spot but there could be more of such "funny jokes" (not) left in the text. - SevenMass (talk) 15:54, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
