The political party "Die PARTEI" (translates to 'the PARTY') in my homecountry Germany is a left-wing satirical party. It achieves around 0.5-1% in our national and 0.5-2.5% in the european election. The party is small, but well known. And I was wondering, if there is something similar in other european countries.
What means satirical?
The slogans on the election posters are quite funny/stupid/populist, such as:
– "No war without Germany"
– "2.50€ voucher for the pub for everyone"
– "At least, nice weather"
– "The next chancellor is an asshole"
– "Here could hang a nazi"
– "Nobody has any intention to build living space" (Reference to the famous quote 'Nobody has any intention to build a wall' – right before the wall was set up between West- and East-Germany)
The speeches and acts from the politicans:
– Nico Semsrott wore a hoodie covered in advertisement in the European Parlament in 2019 as a suggestion on how to make the conflicts of interest among the politicans transparent to the public.
– He also made several speeches about how to increase your income as a member of the european parlament by taking advantage of all the different subsidies (especially office, transport, time/effort). "So for example I buyed a lopster custume from my office expense allowance"
