The phenomenon of satirical parties and whether they have a future
In the political life of different states and at different stages of their development, a similar phenomenon arises, consisting in the formation of parties of not just a laugh, but a clearly expressed satirical type. The history of such parties is more than a hundred years old and comes from the creation of the “Party of Moderate Progress within the Law” by the Czech writer Jaroslav Hasek. The emergence of such political structures can be a response to foreign policy challenges, when the ruling party does not adequately assess its own geopolitical capabilities. Often it is a response to internal political problems that cannot be resolved within the framework of the existing party model. The use of satirical parties is similar to the use of satire, which can make people think about their personal responsibility not only for their lives, but also for the fate of the state.
