I'll Drink to that! - A History of Satarical Political parties
Chapter III - Fall of the German Bloc
(excerpts)
,,The end of the Cold War brought new levels of Political Activity, unseen since the Interwar, to the European Continent. However, this initial burst of optimism soon gave way to dissapointment as young republics often found themselves either emboiled in chaotic political games or slid back into dictatorships, or at least oligarchies where the avarage Person's vote was worth less than the paper they threw into the Ballot Box. Thus, it is no suprise so many Parties arose and exploited this state of affairs - not to gain total power like Nazis or Communists, but to truly improve the standing of their fellow man - with laughs and giggles.
Polska Partia Wódki i Kiełbasy (Polish Party of Vodka and Sausages). The Orginal one, founded in the run-up to the 1994 Legistlative Elections. Their program was strangely liberal for 1994, working on reconciling with the East and mending the wounds between Poles and Polish-Germans. They failed to make it into the Sejm, but recived a respectable 11% of the Popular Vote, and eventualy got themselves a voice in Parlament when Senator Vladivlav Delmau defected from the German Party in mid 1995, resisting the recent shifts in leadership and claiming the newly elected chairman would bring ,,despotism and a peroid of renewed tension between the Poles and Germans". They mostly just stuck around for the rest of the 90's, eventualy reforming into the ,,Party of Brotherhood - Fatherland" (Partia Braterstwa - Ojcowizna), a centrist movement describing itself as a ,,counter to the monopoly of the German Party" which would find moderate success in 1998's Elections.
Party of Potato Salad and Bratwurst (Ostland) - Small political movement founded in Minsk in 1993 by a group of German students, representing the Settlers who disagreed with the country's minority rule policies. Banned and driven underground in 1995, most of the leadership arrested. A rump ,,Party Congress" eventualy decided to merge with the Free Belarus Movement in 1996.
I'd like some Freedom with theese Pancakes (Ukraine) - Left Wing Ukrainian Party, mostly focusing on workers and social issues like unemployment. Actually managed to get 2 MPs into the Supreme Rada but collapsed into infighting shortly after, with one MP becoming na Independent and the other (the founder) joining the Democratic Revival Party (a front for the still-illegal Communist Bolshevik party of Ukraine). The party effectivly dissolved shortly after, but some local offshoots still contested the next elections but failed to pick up much traction.
Party of Moderate Slavic Autonomy within the bounds of the Glorious Constitution of the Reich (Germany) - based on the old Czechoslovak ,,Party of Moderate Progress within bounds of the law" this movement was started by the few remaining Slavic (Polish, Czech and Sorb) Nationalists left within Germany. Sidelined by more moderate movements and supressed by the law shortly after. Some members fled to Poland and tried to restart it before giving up and joining the BBOR (Bezpartyjny Blok Odbudowy Rzeczypospolitej - Poland's ruling party from 1994 to 2006).
