List of frivolous political parties
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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. Many countries have had a Pirate Party which could be considered frivolous. 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.
