h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Great entry about a wonderful-sounding party. Minority parties do tend to make elections that little bit more entertaining, don't they?

In the early 80s, I wanted to vote for them. I was 20'ish and working in St John's, Newfoundland. Their Maritime slogan was "sex, drugs, rock'n'roll and a causeway to Newfoundland". All the sort of stuff that really rang true with my crowd.

I wouldn't be tempted-I WOULD vote for them.

For the upcoming presidential election in the US (well, not exactly upcoming, 2008), I'm organizing a write-in campaign for Giant Talking Rock.

If Giant Talking Rock wins just one state, my job will be done.

Thanks for the entry! Would all politicians had a sense of humour.

I wish we had a party like that in the US.

Same here.

I had to write this when I noticed it wasn't in the guide. It's a topic close to me.

Sounds more like an h2g2 election party than a real-life one!

A very nice entry about what appears to have been a really organisation.

An H2G2 party would be great-I'd vote for them.

Let's make it happen.

For anyone still watching this, the Rhino Party's trying to stage a comeback.

Brian Salmi, legal name Satan, is contesting a by-election in Outremont, Québec. It's also being contested by François Gourd, leader of the Neo-Rhinos. Man I love Canadian politics.

Probably the best part is that "Satan" is launching a $50 million CAD lawsuit against the Canadian government for the law that led to the Rhino Party being disbanded in 1993 - official title of the suit, "Satan vs. Her Majesty the Queen".

I don't know what they're promising this time around, but could be fun to watch.

*makes a note to watch the news-wires ... *

Now, they changed, about 5 months ago, their name for Neo-Rhino. Neo is their for the guy in the Matrice, not for new rhino. This is serious.
But they are becoming really silly. They are no fun anymore...
