What changes would you expect in society if humorous or satirical political parties gained more power?

 @9RC33TXfrom Ontario  answered…4mos4MO

Satire has no place in real elections. People who don't take policy seriously should never be allowed to run for office.

Maybe someone in the room can tell politicians when they’re acting like morons.

How would it make you feel if the majority of politicians started copying some of the tactics of satirical parties, like making absurd promises?

How do you think older and younger generations react differently to the idea of political satire, especially in government?

Older people care more about satire of government as government primarily represents their interests and therefore they have more to be offended over when people mock the government as a whole.

Have you ever laughed at a political message that made you reflect on a serious issue afterward, and if so, what was it?
