ABOUT & RESPONSIBILITY

What this is

The Ministry of Silly Elections is an independent personal parody project: a two-minute WarioWare-style browser game satirising the political spectacle around the Clacton parliamentary by-election. It is not connected to any candidate, political party, campaign, Parliament, the Cabinet Office, Monty Python, the BBC or any actual government ministry.

What it wants

One thing: that eligible people register to vote and then vote. The Ministry endorses no candidate. It does not care who you vote for. It merely insists that democracy is funnier when people turn up.

Why the game focuses on two public figures

The game's satire concentrates on two prominent declared or expected candidates — Nigel Farage and Count Binface — because they are the centre of the media spectacle the game mocks. They are not the complete legal list of candidates. The official candidate list is published by the (Acting) Returning Officer: official candidate information. Check it before voting.

The satire aims at conduct, money, media performance, vanity, hypocrisy, political theatre, empty messaging, avoidance of scrutiny and institutional absurdity. It is never aimed at Clacton residents, poverty, disability, age, family members, class or appearance.

Synthetic parody media

The game may contain AI-generated parody images and clearly synthetic parody voices of public figures. They are not authentic recordings. Invented lines are not real quotations. Wherever such material appears it carries a persistent, high-contrast label. Sound is muted by default and all spoken content is captioned. See Sources & corrections for the editorial rules.

Corrections

Every factual joke is traceable to an entry in the project's editorial source file, rendered at /sources. If something is wrong, stale or unfair, tell us and it will be reviewed promptly and corrected, amended or removed: you@your-domain.uk.
