YF Political Party

YF Political Party

Ok, so I've been thinking on this for a little while. Apparently to start your own political party you need $1000.00 and a minimum of 500 members.....we pass the numebr criteria and I'm sure we can all come up with some money to get the $1000. So who should we nominate for each electorate?

I looked into this a few months ago. Apparently you can be a member if your under 18, you just dont count as a financial one. You need 500 financial members. Gangsta!2008-10-15 13:26:24

Let's get Terry to fund us.

Clearly we have fairly disparate views on everthing, including, Phoenix, so we'd have to work long and hard at a clear statement of intent. I have been described as to the left of sensible whereas I know that ******* is close to the Raving Right. However I have faith in our mission and feel that these divisions are not insurmountable. What divides us may make us stronger. dairyflat2008-10-15 16:24:19

think  - piss-up

Nah, I reckon Hard News will be the new Helen.

QFT.  We'll run on a platform of being a f**king shambles.

something similar to the Mcgillicuddy Serious party huh

fewer kilts and more balls

poor scottish always get left out 

5% of the NZ Super Fund would be invested in Wellington Phoenix.
Visas for all footballers coming into NZ , say to play against All Whites, would be automatically granted.
TVNZ would have live football written into its charter. These matches to be screened ad free in prime time.
SPARC's allocation of funding would have to meet NEW criteria.

...and a horse. So we can make policy on the hoof...  

I vote for the other guy.

Ban stick.  Take it to the real election thread.

Why? Cynical humour & you running for parliament have a lot in common with the real mccoys?? Except you'd probably do a better job for a lot less money - more food, but less money.

Because this place makes a nice escape from the bollocks I have to listen to everywhere else currently...  There is a thread for it and it can stay in there.

Have it your way, we will pay you entirely in food and drink and you will get no money - happy now??

See, I could pull that apart, but I won't.  Here for YF party humour, real politics, election thread please.

How will we run Football Affairs then?  Will it be a policy (a Ministry) or operational (a Department)?  ...what do you mean running before we can walk??? 

All this just to get yourselves a Puppet at the Backbencher or a mention on our menus. I have it on good authority it is the only reason most MP's get into politics.

Perhaps HN you could follow the ex MP Jonathon Hunt and be the Minister of Wine & Cheese??

We will not be a PUPPET government. We will not be beholding to anyone.

You mean some extremists way to the left and some way to the right?

The trrouble with the political spectrum is that it's not a straight line. It's more of a curve. So that's why the EXTREME right and the EXTREME left are pretty much one and the same.

I'm wide.

errr HN, with your size, I think we only need one in the middle - You! Get Smithy & Ubergunner down the wings.

I would expect our policies to be very wide reaching and extreme, first and foremost we are football fans, which puts us in the extreme categary by default.

Its too late to do it this election.  Regstration has closed.

We could put our suppoer behind the Bill and Ben party, we could be a celebrity endorsement. The first thing they will do when elected is a funnel! And they promise not to promise anything, we could be a faction of that magnificent party

This election is a write off anyway, I think we begin strategising now, register in 2010 and take the 2011 election, just after the rugby world cup and campaign with lets get the football world cup here!!!!!
