MP3 Party
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The MP3 Party is a British political party that promises to "delete one regulation per day, one law per week, one subsidy per month and one tax per year".[1] It claims a membership of 10.[2]
The party was originally refused registration by the Electoral Commission on the grounds that their proposed name would constitute an infringement of the MP3 trademark.[3]
The party was founded by Ruslan Fedorovsky, who, along with three others, spent £30,000 on establishing the party.[4]
Despite being registered as a political party with the Electoral Commission, the party does not currently take part in elections.[5]
