 One seat does not do much. And getting 10 000 people to move is a tall
order. You can probably register a party with fewer than that.

   Long back there was an amusing Monty Python about

   In the USA, you pretty much stick to the name of

   I think there's occasionally been a Libertarian Party
   rep in the US Congress, usually from Alaska. Nearest
   thing now would be Rand Paul, but he's officially
   a Republican.
