Fiction history

The All Night Party name was used by Marvel Comics. Sporting the slogan “Get Down, America!”, the All-Night Party was a fictional political party that appeared in Gerber’s Howard the Duck series during the U.S. Presidential campaign of 1976, and led to Howard the Duck receiving thousands of write-in votes in the actual election. Gerber addressed questions about the campaign in the letters column of the comic book and, as Mad Genius Associates, sold merchandise publicizing the campaign.

MERITS

Suggests strength and commitment during dark times.

DRAWBACKS

Outside of possible recognition from prior use, especially that of a comic book duck that could become the brunt of mockery, the name suggests partying and irresponsible behavior.

Activist Party

MERITS

This name challenges members to do more than vote. While every party always wants more volunteers who do the hard work of stirring up interest, this party name turns that need into its core concern so that a non-passive attitude is assumed by new members. If it can define what issues activism is needed for, it may be a great party.

DRAWBACKS

The name doesn’t identify any specific value for which activism is required.

Accountability Party

MERITS

That public officials should be held accountable to the public they serve is a desirable ideal long over due.

DRAWBACKS

It might be said that each party already promises accountability but just fails to deliver it. Who is to say that a new party by this name won’t also fail to deliver on its ideals? Accountability is ideal and in demand but not the highest priority for a majority of voters.
