Or how about this from Hansard, 4 June 1988, from a debate on the
Registration of Political Parties Bill:

Mr Martin Linton (Battersea): 

"Several parties at the last election used descriptions that some people
may consider offensive. Most of them were what might be called
anti-political parties whose titles were attempts to deride other
candidates on the ballot paper. Some examples were ... the People in
Slough Shunning Useless Politician party - whose name I think was chosen
mainly for its potential as an acronym."
