UK MP3 political party for sale on eBay
Published October 19th, 2005
The MP3 Party, a UK political party which aimed to simplify British government and civil administration, has put itself up for sale on eBay.
The party, which was officially registered as a political party in 2002 by the UK Electoral Commission, is currently on sale on the online auction site for a starting bid of £2,000. The political party has been for sale on eBay for the past three days and has yet to attract a single bid.
The founders of the party, who include Russian-born Ruslan G. Fedorovsky, have decided to sell up, saying they are “too preoccupied with their own projects to make MP3 Party into real political force”. They say they hope the new owner will be someone who can take the party forward.
In addition to becoming the new owner of the MP3 Party, a successful bidder will get all rights to existing party logos, the party domain names - www.theMP3Party.com and the www.MP3Party.co.uk - and all current party officials will be replaced by the lucky bidder’s new party officials at the UK Electoral Commission.
