- replace the current system of politics with a system called "cognitive apprisals" where people away from parliament would send in motions themselves
- would like to "get rid of money altogether" and replace it with a barcode-style "virtue currency"


The Official Monster Raving Loony Party
(probably the most well-known weird party, it insists its "preparing for government"!)

- issuing a 99p coin "to save on change"
- "any cabinet ministers telling lies will be shot across the english channel in a high velosity circus cannon"

- "everyone wanting to come and live in the uk will be made welcome so long as they are over the age of 85 and accompanied by both parents"
- "all foxes will be issued with sheeps clothing"

strange fact about the monster raving loony party:- some of their previous poilices, which were thought of as weird at the time, have actually been put into practise by the government, such as the congestion charge (and there were some others but i cant remember them lol!)
