Talk:Donald Duck Party

I don't speak english well enough to edit this page, but it contains a major error.

The page claims that the votes are counted as if they were blank, which cannot be further from the truth. Actually all blank votes are deemed invalid and simply thrown away before the counting begins (a few other votes also are deemed invalid, such as multiple votes for different parties)

But a vote for any party, registered or joke, is counted as a valid vote and is accounted for.

This i very important as there are political limits in the swedish system. A party needs at least a certain part of the valid votes to get elected. And if there are valid joke votes, then the ordinary parties will have a harder race to get elected. If the joke votes would be counted as blank, that would lower the limits the ordinary parties have to brake -- but this is not the case.

AND this is very important. If a joke party would get a seat, that seat would be occupied by that persons name which has most frequently been written on the votes. —This unsigned comment was added by 83.209.34.128 (talk • contribs) 17 March 2006.

noticed this from a google search (similar text)
At least some of the text in the article seems to be cribbed from this ABC News page - http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/WolfFiles/story?id=91051&page=1

wikipedia: At the very most, the Donald Duck Party has scored enough write-in votes at points to theoretically be the country's ninth-most-popular (in 1991, with 1,535 votes).

ABC News: In fact, over the last 20 years, the Donald Duck Party has scored enough write-in votes at points to theoretically be the country's ninth-most-popular political organization.

I don't know if it should be listed as a source or the actual text edited.

Largest Riksdag party?
Regarding this sentence:

"In the 2010 elections, the party received 10722 votes, making it the largest party in the Swedish Riksdag elections."

What is it trying to say? The largest party was the Social Democrats with 1.8 million votes, so I assume there is a hidden error somewhere? --Christoffre (talk) 16:31, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
