List of frivolous political parties

A frivolous party or a joke party is a political party which has been created for the purposes of entertainment or political satire. Such a party may or may not have a serious point behind its activities. This is a list of frivolous political parties.

Some more serious political parties, such as the Rent Is Too Damn High Party, may use the same tactics and humorous approaches to politics as their more frivolous counterparts but aim to address legitimate sociopolitical issues, something that some frivolous parties do not do. By contrast, fake political parties try to resemble serious and genuine political parties for nefarious purposes, such as voter suppression, embezzlement of state funding, division and dilution of voter interest groups, et al. Some fake parties may actually model themselves after frivolous parties in an analogous fashion.
