Obscure Greek Political Parties

Home ► Waste of time & Bandwidth ► Obscure Greek Political Parties ►

I've generally nothing to do with party politics, but I find these parties a bit amusing and certainly weird enough to include here. For all you politics maniacs out there, I'm not judging concepts and claimed objectives! The criterion is obscurity.

This is one of the oldest parts of my home page. The first version appeared in 1994.

Party for Humanity and Peace

The party for Humanity and Peace. According to the single candidate, the party maintains good contact with the Martian and Venusian ambassadors on Earth (for some unknown reason both live in Greece), in the ultimate attempt to save humanity. They even regulate world politics in secret (with the help of the President of the United States).

Party of Greek Hunters

Here's one of the less obscure (but strange, all the same) ones: the party of Greek Hunters. Their logo is Artemis (the hunter goddess, Apollo's twin, romanised as Diana) and her deer. The motto underneath reads ‘Nature - Hunting - Fishing - Tradition’. They have one candidate.

Christopistia

And behold my personal favourite: the Christopistia party (no such word; its components translate loosely to ‘Faith in Christ’). They have two candidates; one is the dodgy-looking chap with the blissful expression; the other is his mum (seriously).

Self-Respect and Truth Party

The party for Self-Respect and Truth. Note the candidate on the mule. He practices self-respect by going up and down Athens, inviting people to join him (and his mule).

Natural Law Party
