The 50 rules of Uniparty membership

© Grok AI 2025

Rule #1

You do not talk about the Uniparty *

Rule #2

You do not talk about the Uniparty *

Rule #3

Someone yells “Stop,” goes limp, or taps out, the debate is over. Any political discussion is pure theatre, and anything leading to useful action prohibited

Rule #4

Only two Uniparty members to a fight at any one time. Others can sit, stand or watch and wait their turn

Rule #5

Only one leading narrative at a time. The public are stupid

Rule #6

No real power is to be ever exercised, unless this is in line with the great supranationalist masters

Rule #7

Debates will go on as long as they have to, often it is best to drag things out as long as possible so that the injured parties die and no compensation need be paid out or legislation passed

Rule #8

You have to sound important and convincing even if your point is insignificant

Rule #9

Political will is to be reserved purely for any action or legislation that is not specifically in your party manifesto

Rule #10

Never forget that the electorate have power only once every 1,826 days

Rule #11

Always blame the opposition

Rule #12

If you happen to benefit from something the opposition has done, claim the credit

Rule #13

When in opposition only pretend. That way, you can’t be accused of hypocrisy when you gain power and carry out the same agenda as the former ruling party

Rule #14

Misinformation and propaganda are weapons of the enemy. If you use them, they are tools of effective governance

Rule #15

Never let a good crisis go to waste

Rule #16

Every party member has kompromat or dirt that you can use to get their support. Kompromat on the opposition party is only useful if they are in power

Rule #17

Hypocrisy is only dangerous if you alone are caught. As everyone else is practising it, you are safe

Rule #18

Don’t be afraid of bringing legislation that will anger or frustrate the public. There will always be a gold-plated pension or company directorship waiting for you

Rule #19

The gravy train runs on nuclear fission and is powered by the sun

Rule #20

Never criticise the civil service as they are your Praetorian Guard

Rule #21

Traditional party membership and values are purely for public consumption and PR purposes only. Your real allegiance is always to the Uniparty, the party of supranationalists

Rule #22

Continually deflect any negative public opinion by pointing to useless caveats. The bigger the lie, the better (e.g. the Green scam)

Rule #23

The more you are hated and despised, the greater your success. Populist politicians are an anathema to the Uniparty

Rule #24

You can be gay or bisexual, but you must be married if you want to lead your party

Rule #25

All sins can be forgiven, but sinning against the Uniparty cannot

Rule #26

Your role is to act for your masters – not to serve the people

Rule #27

Every man or woman has their price. There is no number small enough to define yours

Rule #28

The more you sit on your hands, the more effective you are. Effective action is dangerous as you may do something to offend the supranationalists

Rule #29

If in doubt, read the lobby group or think tank paper. If you struggle with understanding those, the BBC or Guardian website is a good choice for the illiterate

Rule #30

Never read (or God forbid understand the consequences) of any legislation you vote for

Rule #31

Do what you are told and shut up unless the party has given you a line

Rule #32

Don’t ever go off message, even if you look completely stupid. The party will support you. More politicians have ended up in the wilderness by doing so than anything else (See Liz Truss)

Rule #33

Forget public trust, Uniparty trust is all that matters

Rule #34

You won’t always know who the biggest party donors are, so keep schtum in case you accidentally offend any of them

Rule #35

You are only in your privileged position to maintain the illusion of democracy. You are not really needed as true government has already been handed over to the supranationalists

Rule #36

Every so often you will be required to partake in some crazy public PR stunt to make you look more human. This attendance is mandatory

Rule #37

No smoking. Hitler hated it

Rule #38

Anything you accomplish that is in the national interest is only allowed if it is an unintended consequence of a more destructive policy

Rule #39

The administration of expenses is a complex affair. The more creative and less transparent you are in approaching this jungle, the better and more rewarded you will be

Rule #40

Knowledge is power, guard it closely. Freedom of information is just a sop to democracy, few are allowed to get any actual answers by it

Rule #41

Rules are for other people

Rule #42

Journalists used to be the enemy, now they are our friends. Make sure you don’t piss them off (especially the BBC)

Rule #43

You can say anything you like in Parliament, except the truth

Rule #44

If all else fails, an honour or knighthood will cover it up

Rule #45

Never ever, mention the “C” word. Corruption

Rule #46

Just been elected? Feeling that flush of democracy in action? Just wait until you get to Parliament and you will discover just how powerless you actually are. You will do what you are told or else

Rule #47

Never forget – If democracy actually changed anything, we would ban it

Rule #48

If the public are hostile towards you we can always find another, friendlier, focus group or community for you

Rule #49

As a Uniparty member, the more bullshit, corporate speak and absolute drivel you spew, the more eloquent you are

Rule #50

Always remember that you are very important. So important, that a special place in the inner circle of Hell has already been reserved for you with your name inscribed on it
