Parties, Parties everywhere!

[katia]

Today was a good day. It was snowing and as a result half the people didn't turn up and buses were late, I wore too many layers to even notice the cold and only had three lessons.

In Politics wuth one of our teacher we never, ever do any work and today was no different. However it was a lot of fun as we reserached *all* the US parties and the results, well the results are the best thing I have seen in a while. I guess setting up your own party, no matter how crazy is fairly easy, because there is a Prohibition Party, a couple of Pot Parties, a large number and different variations of things you can expect, such as Independence/Labor/Socialist/Communist/Nazi. (about 5 of each of those) But some you really wouldn't, such as the Light Party, which I am highly tempted to join.

And my absolute favourite, The Libertarian National Socialist Green Party. No I am not joking. If you are going to click on any of those, make it this one, please. A short description of this taken from the site listing them all: Politically correct Nazis? This party purports to be comprised of atheist, peaceful, pro-gay, pro-drug legalization, anti-racist, environmentalist Nazis who acknowledge the Holocaust likely occurred .While membership is open to anyone regardless of their race or sexual orientation, individuals who openly profess a belief in either Judaism or Christianity are denied party membership. O.o Um, yeah.

Oh and the Pansexual Peace Party also deserves a mention simply because one of its slogans is Sex is Good! Sex is Great! Yea, Sex!

I hope that this didn't cause offence to any of the Americans on my flist, this was just too good a find not to share :p

Hahaha, I am not offended, I am amused. Here, it feels like we only have two parties, though I am not part of either of them. Rich and I both vote Democtrate, the lesser of the evils. But he is Libratarian, and I am a Commie. (sorry about the spelling, I am at work, at the LJ spell check will not work.)

I think it is so wonderful that you have all this to learn at school. I was so bored in Government here. I ended up dropping it during the day, so that I could take it in night school and make my on curriculem(wow, that one is really spelled wrong!). I was already really politically active, and was offended that I was being taught, this is what we think, we are right, if you think any other way, we will smash you.

Well I wasn't really sirius when I said that, but then again I didn't want to seem like I am mocking your democracy or something ridiculous like that.
And yes, Politics with one of our teachers is great, we don't do anything, just chat and he even let us email obscene things to Bush!
There are so many ridiculius parties, it is amazing, but some do make sense. this site (http://www.politics1.com/parties.htm) shows them all, and it really is worth looking at for the sheer amusement.
Hope work is going well.

XD. And I thought the Revolutionary Communist Party of Britian (Marxist-Leninist) (http://www.rcpbml.org.uk/) was good for a laugh.

:D When it comes to crazy British parties, the Monster Raving Loony Party (http://www.omrlp.com/) has got my vote.
