Party Ticket to Nowhere
The founders of MP3, a UK political party, are selling the party on eBay (starting bid: £2000). The party's main selling point appears to be that it is already registered with the British Electoral Commission (price of registering: £150). Nobody expects an aspiring politico to be a math whiz, but any would-be party leader should know this platform isn't going anywhere:
"Elect us and we will delete one regulation per day, one law per week, one subsidy per month and one tax per year."
Which might explain why the number of bids (0) hasn't budged in six days.

The reason they have no bids is because they, as per usual, have promised more than they can deliver.
I wonder what the Democratic National Committee would fetch if it were put up for sale on eBay?
Of course it's a moot point. George Soros already bought it.
Will they be portable after being used on an iPod?
