Party of the Democratic Karma

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Party of the Democratic Karma (Partido del Karma Democrático in Spanish) is a Spanish joke party founded by the publishers of the magazine Karma Dice, a highly satirical publication.

Their motto is "Karma: the useless vote, the vote just like you" ("PKD el voto inútil. El voto como tú." in Spanish) and they support highly absurd proposals like paying civil servants with corticoles (vouchers from the general store El Corte Inglés redeemable to buy school supply), building even in flower pots and promising to corrupt themselves as much as possible. Their magazine and party are based in the Basque Country, and they reflect a certain reaction to their fellow Basque citizens' perceived overly serious approach to life.

In the Basque elections in 2001 this party was the sixth most voted.
