Haha, excellent. A party I could vote for.

Actually … no.
The name is 11 characters too long – the maximum length allowed is 52 characters (incl. spaces). Looks like Andrew will need to write on the other side of the blank piece of paper

This party will be a hit in Ashvegas just ask Sergeant Jellyfish.

they could even get Mike Williams as their chief fund raiser, given his wide range of contacts with loose cash swilling around and the fact that he’s very soon going to be kicked out to save Labour further embarrassment…

I thought the silly party was already called Act???

SSSL – No, it’s the Greens…although they’re more Looney than Silly

Thats true Buggerlugs.
The Greens being the looney party leaves the door open for ACT to remain the silly party
of course United Future is the “sensible” party

of course United Future is the “sensible” party
The fact that they need to constantly assert how sensible they are is quite telling…

I like the idea of requiring students to work 10 hoursa a week in state owned vice enterprises. Could be appropriate investment vehicles for the Cullen fund.

Their student loan policy almost tempts me to give them my party vote…

Would manufacturing cluster bombs count as “vice” or is it only the traditional forms of tobacco, alcohol, other drugs, sex, gambling etc?
