Overview

This collection of political parties are perhaps the Spam Forum's most well know idiosyncrasy. Once every few months one party declares war on another, resulting in several days of endless spam, horror, and fruit chunks raining from the sky as in the apocalypse.

Herein lies a short description of each party, to be added or amended by the leader of the party in question:

The Spam Party

First in victory, first forgotten.

An ecclectic group of Spamers, the Spam Party worked its muscle to bring the forums back to the people. Created on the foundation of bettering the party and not on superficial motives such as "awesomeness" or "destruction", the party shed light on the corruption of the edible fruit political machine. While they are not as prominent or egotistical as the Kiwis or Peaches, they can claim a great deal of support from the disaffected former fruits of the forums. They have since evolved into the S.P.A.M. (Socially Progressive Awesome Movement) party, however they still hold the same ideals and principals of the old Spam Party.

Prominant members include: Akechi's Blade, AmericanSaint, bobm, Crazy Wolf, Der Sturmbannführer, Dipship, Eagle One, evildude, Gamefreak, -Ghost-, gingerbreadman, gopaloo, Hitman47, jihuugegi, JP(NL), lmhr05, malice the eumidian, Mr. Matt, nameChanged, Napalm, nimo333, pInK_eLePhAnT, Quack!, R.Winters, Red Menace, SeinfeldRules, SteveCormacke, terminal-strike, TIKI, Torpov, Truce, Vantage, WW2dude

The Kiwi Party

This party is indisputably the greatest political force in the Spam Forum, due to the fact that its member list includes Chiefy, Reven, Jesus of Suburbia, Rookie_42 and the almighty Dreadnought[DK]. The combined awesomeness of this band of warriors makes all resistance hopeless - indeed the Kiwi Party's greatest rival, the Peach Party have been smitten down like the heathens that they are so many times that JoS has lost count. And believe me, it takes a big number to do that.

When the party leaders are not plotting political coups or disputing military tactics, they enjoy eating Kiwi fruit and drinking tea, courtesy of the Lower Slobovian Club, one of the Kiwi Party's primary allies.

The Peach Party

The peach party is the original fruit party. It was created in a thread in mid 2005 by Pehegreat to enshrine Lord Wiener's love of peaches. The 4 dark lords of the Peach are Lord Wiener, Master of Reality, Pethegreat, and the1chaos The party is dedicated to the destruction of the kiwis and their evil pirate allies. The peach party is allied with ninjas. The peach party is always active, compared to the one or two month periods of activity for the kiwi party.

Often emulated, never equaled.

The Libertarian Fashist Spam Party

Formed several months ago, the Fashist Party was once the GF Gestapo and Phashist Party, until it settled with it's current name. The leader of this party is Aeroflotte. The party believes in preserving the old spammy ways of long ago. Currently the Fashist Party is not allied with anyone, although previous alliances were made. This party is more of an underground organization which occaisionally surfaces when tensions run high.

GF Political Elections

Somewhat annual elections to choose the ruling party of the forum (although primarilly of Spam), even though the parties themselves have different feelings on their methods of ruling. A greater understanding of these elections can be found at the GF Political Elections article.
