I've been reading about some of the minor (rather wierd) parties and their proposed policies, some of which are extremely funny and some of which are genius in a strange way!
Cure (Citizens for Undead Rights and Equality) party, "Zombies, like students, are people too. Let's fight for their rights to politically party."
• Give the undead equal rights to the living
• Make cemeteries more comfortable for its inhabitants
• Implement a robust social integration programme for the undead, curing society of its prejudices
• Increase the minimum statutory retirement age to beyond death
• Permit the marriage of living and the undead
Captain Beany of The New Millennium Bean Party -
• Chewing gum be collected from pavements and used to fill potholes in the road
• Children who leave home should not be allowed to return home until they are 40
• Convicted drink drivers to have their cars painted bright orange for five years when they finish their ban and return to the wheel
• Public officials who are convicted of abuse of office offences to have their pictures printed on toilet roll packaging.
Monster Raving Loony party:
• All socks to be sold in packs of 3 as a precaution against losing one
• Make it illegal for superheroes to use their powers for evil
• Ban all terrorists from having beards as they look scary
• Change the English symbol of three lions to 3 badgers
• School dinners must be regularly checked for radioactivity
• Add the Loch Ness Monster to the endangered species list
• Dedicated pogo stick lanes on routes to centres of work
Anyone got any others?
