After British Sociology bastardized the meaning of "precariat," it didn't take long for political volunteers to launch an "Emergent Service Workers Party":

Yeah. Everyone turned out to be an emergent service worker. Someone has to represent us people, so here you have it – the eSWP is the future.

You do realise these are satirical, don't you?

I think you should add the eSWP to the expanding list of organisations you support.

This made me laugh out loud. You just can't parody somebody like DNZ.

We still can put up other six new parties:

Elite Party
Established Middle Class Party
Technical Middle Class Party
New Affluent Workers Party
Traditional Working Class Party
Precarious Proletariat Party

though no one of them would have a logo implying an unholy alliance between Internet Explorer and the Socialist Workers Party.

Here you can calculate your "new" class and party. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-22000973)

For my part, I seem to be a proud member of the EMCP.

That's fitting - Evidently Marxist Communist Party!

hahahahaa.

Also, as this is (unwitting yet brilliant) self-satire, i'm moving this to non-political.

To be fair, this'd hardly be the stupidest thing to come out of the British left.

I know, but there are more serious ramifications behind the stunt.
