Dance Party (Darkmanian: Däncër Pari) is a joke political party in Darkmania, founded in 2010 by famous comedian Dënÿss Dërmas in order to "make darkmanian politics great again". They are famous for advocating for more rain, greener roads by literally painting the roads green, ban on clowns (until 2018 when they elected a literal clown to the Särterhüs), making sure they do something and banning "banning things". They are infamous in Darkmanian politics due to their satire aimed at the political elite. Their sole representative on the Särterhüs is BoBo, the sad clown, who is famous for wearing his clown outfit doing sessions, causing some infamous moments doing serious debates. He is said to retire from the Särterhüs doing the election in 2020.
History
Foundation
On 28th August 2010, a segment of the popular late-night show "Lëst Kvïld mëit Dënÿss Dërmas", Dënÿss announced, in the end, their intention to make a political party before the 10th September deadline to register in order to "make the grey politics colourfull with utter nonsense." The party was officially registered on 5th September. Doing the campaign, their main slogan was "We Want Rain" (Darkmanian:Ër gärs rÿn), and was the 5th most popular party according to the polls. In the end, they got around 10 000 votes, and a 7th place.
2011-2014
After the election, doing a segment on "Lëst Kvïld mëit Dënÿss Dërmas", Denÿss announced that he will shut down the party as it was intended to be one-time joke. However, after the segment had aired, a popular movement on social media called "#KeepTheDanceParty". This was covered by the mass media and by the next episode of "Lëst Kvïld", Dënÿss announced that due to the large demand to keep the party, he will let the party live on. However, he was not to become the party leader.
