[Submitted] Name your party

[Mr Matzerati]

Name your party

The issue: The election season is approaching, and a lot of new politcal parties are signing up to take part in the next election. However, some newly established parties have some 'original' names to stand out between the other, more classical names. As you just finished filling in some paperwork, multiple people stormed in your office, demanding your opinion on the matter.

option 1: ''How can this nonsence be allowed!'' Yells your red-faced minister of foreign affairs, @@RANDOMNAMEMALE@@, as he waives the current list of political infront of your face. He violently points out names of different political parties, nearly poking your eye out. '' The Let's Have More Ice Cream In Schools Party? Do you realise the reaction of the international community if these kind of parties turn out to be the biggest after the elections? We will be the laughingstock of @@REGION@@! You must force parties to have normal names, even if they are rather 'unoriginal'.''
outcome: The debate between the Labour Party, the Labour Party, the Labour Party and the Labour Party is expected to be as boring as the names suggest.

option 2: ''Why would we do that?'' Says @@RANDOMNAMEFEMALE@@, the current leader of the new Lets Be More Friendly To Ants Movement, as she adds new names of candidates of the minister of foreign affairs' list. '' Political freedom also means the freedom to name your party a you wish. By the way, why should we care about the opinion of other nations?''
outcome: After the electoral victory of the @@LEADER@@, I Am Your Father Party, other nations tend to make jokes about @@NAME@@ before their representatives arrive.

Option 3: "Why have political parties anyway?" Asks political columnist @@RANDOMNAMEFEMALE@@ as she checks the latest reviews on her collumn in The @@NAME@@ Times. "Let candidates run for themselves, let people vote on then based on their very own believes. I'm sure this will increase the quality of our chosen repesentatives.''
outcome: @@NAME@@ solved all political party problems by eliminating political parties

Option 4: ''Elections! I cant think of anything else!'' Weeps election official @@RANDOMNAMEMALE@@, leaning on your desk to prevent himself from collapsing on the floor. "I just had a 14-hour meeting to discuss new locations of polling places, and i'm still behind on my paperwork! Not only me, but almost everyone on my team feels the same! Do us a favour and get rid of those tiring elections!
Outcome: Election officals are planning long vacations as there are no elections to plan anymore

Issue and options can only be accessed to nations with elections. Suggestions are welcome. Spelling corrections also, my English is not perfect

Shouldn't there be some kind of electoral comission who handles these matters INDIPENDANTLY of government?

[Mr Matzerati]

I think electoral commisions only enforce the election rules made by the government. for example the IRL German electoral threshold is enforced by the electoral comission, but created by the government

[Noriantis]

This is great. I would suggest giving all the labour parties slightly different spellings:

The Labour Party, the Labor Party, the Labore Party and the Laybour Party

effect lines arent supposed to contain commas, because theyre listed at the bottom of your nation page in sentence form

[Urine Town]

Maybe option 4 should involve simplifying the electoral process rather than eliminating it altogether. There would still be elections and voting, just no campaigning, national conventions, presidential primaries/caucuses, political parties, or anything else that happens before an election that doesn’t directly impact the results. That would eliminate the workload of the election official without banning elections altogether.

Fix the grammar first.
