What's your least favorite political party?

Based on platform and policies, the Constitution Party. Despite the misleading name, they're very theocratic with a clear disdain for science, rights, liberty, and equality.
Based on actual influence and relevance, the GOP. Basically for the same reasons, albeit to a slightly less extreme.

Any group that is far left or far right is doomed to failure, anyway. To have success there has to be some appeal to the mainstream/centrist/middle-of-the-road part of the population, since that's where the battle is fought.

Here in America, none of them seem good. The country is run by big money, an Oligarchy.
Bacon and sugar we can surely do without (sarcasm noted), but it would be terribly naive and optimistic that some how we can do without political parties.
I believe in the sincerely process and not necessarily one political party or the other. What was called the Tea Party that infected the Republican Party with the Evangelical Right, and the tRump Party as the worst possible. I am registered Independent and vote.
The far left is idealistic, and the far right is dangerous and toxic.

The trouble with this question is that the likely answer will be one of the numerous crazy or obnoxiously extreme fringe groups that is barely serious. For instance in the UK I could nominate:
The Socialist Workers Party
The English Defence League
The British National Party
The UK Independence Party
The Communist Party of Britain
and probably others besides.
Regarding bacon, I would have to delve into Jewish or Muslim extremist politics, in the intricacies of which I am not an expert.
I dislike partisan politics, except that one has to admit, as @shunyadragon suggested, you can't really do without them. Direct democracy, where everybody votes on every subject all the time, would be pure chaos, and the fighting in the streets would never stop. As Winston Churchill suggested, democracy is the worst sort of government...except for all the rest.

If communism were to have success, it would have to be a very gradual shift toward that far corner of the political spectrum over a long period of time. You don't have abrupt ideological shift on a mass scale happen overnight.
I appreciate sincerity...but is our PM so bad?
a popular consensus of the 60%?
Since the OP speaks of parties, and the PM is an independent, I am not really sure what your point is.

Ok...you don't like Salvini because he's a fascist, a racist, a populist...etc...
Basically. And why do you like him? For his insistence that gays should no marry?

I like him because he believes in the sovereign state...against the tyrannical technocratic EU
and btw Di Maio is gay and in a relationship...
I like technocracies. They tend to fare better than cluelesschracies.
