Not a notable joke party. JDDJS (talk) 23:21, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
 * keep  What are the criteria for notability of a joke political party?   This party got just as much newspaper notice as most such parties ever get &mdash; a few mentions during each election campaign, as part of the lighter side of the campaign, or when they pull a particularly interesting stunt.   But who has access to newspaper archives from the '80s to find the exact article references?  That's not a reason to delete the article and pretend the party didn't exist or wasn't noted.  The world didn't begin with the creation of online newspaper archives.  --  64.131.244.143 (talk) 23:50, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. I would be arguing keep anyway, but this nomination has not even attempted to address the issues from the previous AfD (which, yes, was almost ten years ago, but still raises valid points). This one, which still has a degree of name recognition, has dedicated coverage, and continues to have a degree of significance. Frickeg (talk) 02:00, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep for the reasons noted above, as well as the electoral reforms that occurred as a result of their registration. The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 04:07, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
