Design A Demented Political System

I need some people to help me come up with a freakish political system revolving around random common nouns. It is not allowed to be practical in any way, and should be borderline offensive to everyone. It should be hypocritical in every aspect. Anything completely nonsensical will be appreciated.
As an explanation, we're having a political club in my school. It's run by a conservative hippie communist thing-man. He is loud. I am of the opinion that it would be amusing to create a political belief system just for the purpose of the club, and that I would pretend to be a member. Whee!
Sooo.... anyone?

the system of the little-enders in Gulliver's Travels springs to mind. they decided on political office in a ceremony held every so often, whereby the king would hold a stick and prospective courtiers had to jump or duck (limbo) under or over the stick. those who did the best (jumped the highest or ducked the lowest) won the most prestigious title of office :)
now that's pretty nonsensical ;)
as for other ideas, i'm affraid its too late for me to try using my own imagination :P

Hmm. That's okay, but it kinda has something to do with physical prowess, so it makes a little sense... isn't that the way it works anyway? I mean, basketball and prostitution, respectively...

At the center is a fat mentally retared 30 year old man losing most of his hair, he is the Retarded Emperor of Poo, he sits on top of a giant pyramid and flings poo at the thousands of men and women who squable and fight over who has to be hit by the flying poo.
The people who arn't hit by the poo get to run a department of government for however long they are not covered in poo (and depending on the Emperor's intake of tacos this can be anywhere from five minutes to half-an hour)
Sitting on a smaller pyramid two miles away is the Emperor's mother, her title is the Duchess of Killing, her job is to do everything that the Emperor isn't doing, like killing everyone who isn't working at one of the two pyramids. Everyone who works at the smaller pyramid for the Duchess are forbidden from speaking (this bothers the Duchess), and they have to carry the Duchess everywhere and do pretty much everything for her (open her eyelids, help her poop, spoon feed her, etc...).
The Duchess has a harem of eunuchs, the reason being that the Duchess doesn't like sex but knows that it's tradition for people in power to have a harem so the Harem of Eunuchs was her compromise.
The Emperor has his own harem... the Harem of Old Biker Babes (don't ask).

How about a Defiancy?
The entire country is ruled by someone who has the title of "The Man" (yes, even if The Man is a woman). The Man is in power for 10 years and 6 months (although the 6 months are in clear violation of the Constitution, but The Man must defy the will of the people).
During The Man's reign it is his job to issue oppresive edicts, but the people are also required not to follow them. The Man has people everywhere, who are allowed to shoot on sight anyone who is caught following one of The Man's edicts. (Thus, Defiancy, the people must defy the ruler, and the ruler must defy the people)
The Selection of the next The Man is performed when the old The Man is beheaded, and his ssevered head is tossed into the crowd, and whoever catches the head becomes The Man for the next 10 years and 6 months, and then they have off his head. If no one catches the head, then there is a retoss, if the retoss is also missed, then whoever is closest to the head when it lands wins.
In order to insure that there will always be a The Man all citizens who are related to one of the former The Mans must attend (although the soon to be ex-The Man's family is allowed to stay away, to prevent a dynasty arising). Further, foriegners aren't exempt from becoming The Man, so the people who are forced to attend often bring along as many oblivious tourists as possible and wear boxing gloves in order to prevent catching the head.
It needs a Thunderdome. That's all I can say.

Suppose one was to build on the assumption that most people are stupid. If most people are stupid, then most people are wrong most of the time. This means that if the people vote over something, the least popular vote is most likely to be the most suited alternative. Therefore, the best political system would be the system of unpopular vote, where people vote, and then do what the fewest people wanted. However, since most people are only wrong most of the time, people will be right some of the time, and therefore wrong using the system of unpopular vote.
However, since some people might abuse this system by intentionally voting for issues or parties they don't want in power, thereby shifting the unpopular vote towards the actually popular parties, steps must be taken to ensure that people actually vote true to their heart. Over the centuries, one method has proven remarkably effective at making people speak truly: Infliction of pain. Time and again throughout human history has pain been used to root out lies and force the truth out in the open. For example, during the Spanish inquisition in Spain and the witch processes in northern Europe, it was discovered that practically everyone were a witch or a heathen - a feat which has never been repeated in Europe again. It is unlikely that these outstanding results would have been accomplished without the use of pain.
But how to distribute this pain to the masses in such a way that everyone feels compelled to vote truthfully? The problem with employing a special 'inquisitorial squad' for such a task is that they themselves would be able to influence the unpopular vote because they, thanks to their position as inquisitors, are above their own punishment. No matter how well trained and disciplined the inquisitors would be, there would always be the chance that a few of them would abuse their power in such an unundemocratic way. The obvious solution to the problem would therefore be not to concern oneself with such an artificial institution as an 'inquisition' and rather turn the task of mandatory punishment over to the people themselves. If everyone had a hammer and went around beating people they suspected of subversive thoughts (and maybe a few they didn't suspect, just to make sure) over the head with said hammer, then the system would be self-running and people would be encouraged to vote according to their heart.

The ancient Mayan civilization had a wonderful system. Today, we have all sorts of half-assed celebrity politicians running for office - and occasionally being elected - just for the kicks. It is evident that people don't take politics seriously. The Mayan kingly couple were the highest priest/priestess couple, and they had to please the sun god. So, I propose that today, politicians should sacrifice blood from their genitals daily.

All right here's the best (or worst gov't depends on how you look at it)
First there is the "El Presidente" all he does is make public apperences and try to reassure the people that all is well. There is a clumsy buerocratic method just to get him in office. The people vote on who they want to be the next El Presidente, but just because the people vote on that person doesn't mean that the person is in office. No, the people vote for people who then vote for the El Presidente. Once the people who pick the El Presidente cast there vote, then the next El Presidente is in office.
Next up is the House of Fools, there are two parts to the House of Fools, the People with Funny Hats and the People with Overly-Large Shoes. All these people do is not decide on what is to be done. They argue and argue until the House of Fools is closes and then get to go back to their houses and do nothing even more. The House of Fools is supposed to represent the people that elect them, but instead the companies that give them money so that they can run for elections the next year where they don't represent the people that they are supposed to represent.
There is one more piece to this disfunctional puzzle. The people. The people are so apathetic to the no-doings of the El Presidente and the nothing being done in the House of Fools that they don't vote. The only people who vote are crazy people. Only the mentally deficient actually do anything in this governement and so the only people who get to become El Presidente or in the House of Fools are the people that try to appeal to the crazys.
How's that for a demented political system??

Ah, but pandas are vegetarian by nature and so even the most despicably evil panda would have to delegate the actual eating to subordinate humans. Unless the last remaining human could be persuaded to eat themself then there would still be a human and therefore a goverment until they died of old age.
Also, how do you intend to reliably distinguish between pandas who are evil, semi evil and quasi-evil?

My Goodness, you ARE random...
You, sir, are a hero to my life, finally I have found someone more wierd than me.
How about Multiple Choice Democracy?
The entire country is run by statistical analysts and web designers. When an issue is raised, you are permitted to submit solutions to the site; after a short while, these solutions appear on the site in the form of a multiple-choice poll (possibly ranked by the analysts in an order that demonstrates their own preferences). People with access to the site vote for their preferred option, and the winner becomes official national policy.
You can even get an up-to-date RSS feed!
>_>
Stupid idea, but one that some people would think "Hell yeah" without bothering to consider the consequences; perfect if you're looking for a ridiculous but plausible "system of government".
Alternatively, there's the Good Conscience, Bad Conscience style of decision making. Have all the members of whatever government you run dress up in weird fairy or devil costumes and pick a selection of people at random. The idea is to take them in and have the government, still in their costumes, throw all of the proposed solutions to a given issue at each person individually. The person must, using their own judgement and the advice of the various members of government, decide which one to take.
This happens about 30 times for each minor issue and a few more for bigger ones. Basically, you do it often enough to notice a specific trend in your responses. Then, based on the figures, make that government policy.
It'd make being a politician fun!

Why make up governments when there are so many good ones out there already? My favorite of all times has to be the monarchy where the totality of the power of a state is given to a five-year-old prince because his father has just passed away. It doesn't really get much better than that.

I need some people to help me come up with a freakish political system revolving around random common nouns. It is not allowed to be practical in any way, and should be borderline offensive to everyone. It should be hypocritical in every aspect. Anything completely nonsensical will be appreciated.
As an explanation, we're having a political club in my school. It's run by a conservative hippie communist thing-man. He is loud. I am of the opinion that it would be amusing to create a political belief system just for the purpose of the club, and that I would pretend to be a member. Whee!
Sooo.... anyone?
I'm probably not the first to say this but....the US System!! :D

It's Pandas, not Pandas.
And anyway, Pandas actually kill more people every year than lions, sharks, leopards put together.
-WW1 started after a Panda ate the Arch-Duke of Austria Hungary.
-Atlantis was destroyed by a giant Panda
-Osama bin Laden is actually a Panda in disquise.
-The Illuminati were founded by Pandas.
What more evidence do you need dammit!!!

As far as I know, no one has suggested giving me complete control with the added factor of my getting to decide important issues of the moment by consulting the I Ching and, if I could care less, coin flip.
But seriously, the world would be a much better place if everyone would just do what I say. I could be such a benevolent dictator you'd hardly notice me. I'd probably like most of you or at least a convincing majority.

I seriously doubt I could come up with a system weirder than any of those in use in the real world.

Oh dear LARD!
NO, IT IS NOT GOING TO BE A THEOCRACY, GODDAMMIT!
Very true, but somebody (no idea who) has told the Pandas that you and your henchmen are made of bamboo.
Besides: *impersonates Agent Smith from the Matrix* "What good is a questionaire to you, Mr Panda, if you don't have a pencil"
*Panda fumbles in pockets for pencil before realising that it doen't have any pockets. Wanders off to bite random people's heads off*
But as soon as the Pandas realized they have been conned they will hunt down and destroy the one who lied to them, and then go in search of some real bamboo!
I triumph again! WHEE!

I don't get it, unless . . .
ARE YOU CALLING ME A SLUT!?
I don't just . . . Hell, who am I kidding, I'll be in your room by 10 tonight, have some vodka and a bubble bath waiting.
Nihilist Theocracy - Combining the rejection of all religious and moral principles with a system of government in which priests rule in the name of god.
Amish Technocracy – Combining restrictions on the use of modern devices with government controled by an elite of technical experts.
Squattocracy – Rule by squatters. First person who gets to parliament house forms government!
