As the old thread was lost somewhere in the great back closet of NS, ive remade this one... as the manifesto listed on the ever-so-lovely election thread is not the most recent version, although all aims listed in it still do exist under the party. Ok... here goes... *pasting manifesto*
The Manifesto of the Emphatically Silly Party (ESP)

1. We, the emphatically silly party, are committed to enhancing all aspects of life by putting a greater emphasis on fun, laughter, jollity and general silliness in the world.
2. As such, we support quirky and generally silly actions performed by anyone
3. We do not agree with ideas that stifle the air of fun in society or pang of overbearing seriousness.
4. We therefore reserve the right to mock those who are serious, and mock them we shall.
5. If elected, we would strongly encourage random acts of randomness, and silly acts of silliness, perhaps awarding some sort of award for particularly silly or random actions.
6. We would institute and state television network with the prime slots on this network going to Monty Python re-runs with the rest occupied by other similarly humoured programming. There would be no news, as this is generally serious.
7. We would institute a breeding program of terror goldfish.
8. We would make ewoks a protected species and encourage people to worship them
9. Hamsters would no longer live as household pets, as they will be appointed to high-ranking positions in the civil service.
10. We would scorn anyone who told us to “grow up.”
11. We would make sarcasm an Olympic event
12. We would found a ministry of silly walks, which would receive 25% of all government funding.
13. We would ban animals from going outside without clothes on.
14. Each day a number will be selected at random and made illegal. Violators would be tortured with tickling sticks
15. Thieves would be forced to serve us food in revealing outfits.

When I last looked we were in second place in the election. So I will go and check how many seats etc. that this affords us. I'm sorry I missed the start of this election fellow members, but I was otherwise detained *hides novelty hat.*

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!

*puts on court jester outfit*

Vote for the Emphatically Silly Party, you know it makes sense.

Vote for the Emphatically Silly Party, because we'll bring back Monty Python.

Vote for the Emphatically Silly Party and you'll never have to work hard again. We'll train up hyper-intelligent mice (as shown on Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) to do your jobs for you.

It's 1 seat for every 4% of the vote...gives us 3.875 seats at the moment. If I get that .875 of a seat, I'm not going to be happy, y'know. I have plans involving lime-green leopard-print seat covers, hundreds & thousands, and golden syrup.

I'm thinking... But I don't really care about purple oranges.

Eat teh haxxorz!

And .875 of a seat is very valuable, you should never underestimate the power of the Dark side, for it just so happens that I recently had breakfast.

Id also like the thank the following people for their work for this great cause that is ours...
I V Stalin
Tribes of Longton
Siull
Neo Kervoskia
Sonaj
And all our other devoted and slightly unhinged supporters for sticking up for the ESP on the election thread. If ive missed anyone off... please tell me. Also if there is anyone who wishes to join us please just post on this thread and membership documents will be delivered by stalk to your address/abode/cave.

Must have missed those membership documents...oh, no, wait, there they are. Hiding behind the goddamm pilchards again. Grrrr...covered in ketchup as well. Hmmm...I think it's the washing machine for them.
Oh, and no problem. I'd like to thank our glorious leader, on behalf of the whole party, for creating such a silly movement. I'm sure I have the whole party behind me when I say 'OI, Party, get behind me!'

Yes but who's going to volunteer to be spliced to sit on that .875 of a seat? *sighs*
Tribes is slightly more unhinged than the rest...

Oh no you didnt. Sorry got a little silly then. Woot!

Yes but who's going to volunteer to be spliced to sit on that .875 of a seat? *sighs*
I'm small anyway, .125 less of me wouldn't make much of a difference... [Enter random act of sillyness, such as jello]

Oh no you didnt. Sorry got a little silly then. Woot!

I should think so! Here... share this pickled waffle...

Perhaps we should ahve a "Colin the Hamster day"

Ok then. Hey thats not a waffle! *already high* Dammit! :fluffle:

8. We would make ewoks a protected species and encourage people to worship them

IMPORTANT MESSAGE OF A POLITICAL NATURE:
should we offer to make a coalition with the rodents? We share similar aims in respect to the fact that we're both publicly poking fun at the "serious" competitors. I would find highly amusing... perhaps our bets joke ever... if a coalition of "silly" parties won the main event. If you think it's a good idea I shall contact them ...

I don't wanna live underground! I wanna live in the clouds, like I usually do... *Chirp*

But yeah, if it's the only way.

Could try the NBIP instead...we share the Monty Python policy with them. POLICY STEALERS! But they seem vaguely silly and have...erm...some votes. Then we could get the rodents on side as well. If we can manage 50% of the vote, collectively, we can rule this place! Wo0T!

Or the Reason party... That would be silly.

No, I think Melkor is actually taking this seriously.

All the sillier to try.

No, I think Melkor is actually taking this seriously.

Best leave them to the seriousness then! :rolleyes:

Aha, I see I am getting the decimal seat at this election! Do not fear, for I shall diet, and then they shall know the wrath of Khan. Or the silliness of tribes, depends whether it's tuesday or not. But I'm not going to tell you whether tuesday is Khan day or Tribes Day! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *dies of a watermelon overdose*

No, I think Melkor is actually taking this seriously.

A little too seriously for my liking *puts on rubber gloves*

This election seems to show that campaigning really does work - we're a completely pointless and stupid party, yet because we keep, uh, spamming, pretty much, the election thread, people keep voting for us! All hail teh suckers!

Well, I was reading a comic book. I was turning the page, but *gasp* I did not wash my hands as Filbert precsribed. Now, in order to appease the gods of Roco's Modern Life, I must wash my hands in soda.

It's about Roco, the uber mild-mannered walliby(sp?), who works in a comic book store and has crazy, but modernist, adventures with his green-haired friend Heifer and the amazing singing-turtle Filbert..who is married to a freakishly happy cat with hooks.

Hey Neo, can you take over from me on the ESP platform. I know you are technically ambiguous toward the whole election thing, but aren't we all really?

No? Ah, sod it, just post random crap in the name of the ESP. Please?

POST ESP - I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINGING AND IT CHEESES CRACKERS

I can't believe I'm wasting my first post on this.

I know I'm a rookie, but do you think I can join this party? :D

Free food... niiice.

I'll uphold the randomness and silliness that this party guarantees in all walks of life.

Caviar!

You must show a random act of sillyness, it must appear natural. Once you have done that, you're in unless the Party heads say otherwise.

Okie Dokie committed members of the ESP...
We're doing pretty well in this election of Ariddia's although he's loathed to admit it. We are currently in 4th place, with a rather disconcerting gap between us and 3rd place...
So I do believe its butternut squash and pineapple juice all round everyone!

A-HA!

There is no reason for the aforementioned exclaimation. Move along please.

Oh the carrots! The carrots!

You know how we discussed a coalition with the Mole and Other Burrowing Rodents Alliance? Well... their leadership has offered us a coalition. This means that neother of our parties would be affected and our manifesto would remain the same, but in essence wed have 79 votes instead of 55
and we get up to the level of the big 3 parties. When I asked you all seemed quite happy about the idea and wed still retain all our policies and ideas
wed just have a greater share of the vote together meaning that we could have more say in parliamentary debates. What do you all think?

Arr, tha's a good plan, matey, harr harr! *Swabs deck*

Translation:

Yes, I believe that would be a useful, not to say neccessary, step in the politics. I say we should join forces with those who dwell underground, to make our party more successful. *Starts to carefully clean the floor of the pirate ship, on which we are currently residing*

That's because each post was painstakingly written and rewritten, edited, left alone for a while, re-edited a bit more and finally left to mature. Yes, this is a few days after, but considering I don't remember posting more than twice in this thread, I think I did pretty well.

BTW, Fishbowls win.

So anyway, back on topic. Who wants to be a political buffoon?
