[4] The party states that it managed to secure its required 500 members for Electoral Act registration after locating the requisite number of inebriated university students outside a student drinking establishment.
It gained the ninth-highest number of votes out of the 19 parties in the election, and would have earned a seat if there had been no electoral threshold.
[9] Due to the way that mixed member proportional representation works, had the party crossed the minimum 5% threshold required to be admitted to parliament without an electorate seat, the total number of MPs would have been reduced by about four (an "underhang").
This is because 5% of the vote would entitle it to approximately six MPs but it had only two candidates (Bill and Ben) on its party list.
On 17 March 2010 the party applied to the Electoral Commission to be deregistered,[11] which took effect on 29 April 2010.
