This short (63 pg) collection of material details one of the best satires and practical jokes of the czech anarchist Jaroslav Hasek. Along with a group of his anarchist friends, he formed a party to participate in the 1911 Austro-Hungarian elections for a district in Prague called Vinohrady. Hasek of course never meant it to be a serious party, it's purpose was to mock and satirize elections and the politicians who run in them. Thus he even gave the party a satirical name, mocking the cowardice, and hypocrisy of the popular parties: The Party of Moderate Progress within the bounds of the Law.
