Bill and Ben Party busy campaigning

3 NEWS: MMP has certainly given the minor parties a voice, but what about the really minor parties - such as the Bill and Ben Party?

The duo usually known as Pulp Sport have decided to leave their slightly deluded yet faithful late night sport show viewers behind for the moment to take their party mainstream.

The pair even have party political broadcasts.

"Primarily we've run on a no policies, no promises, no disappointments line," the pair say.

Bill and Ben have been campaigning for at least two days now and are often pleasantly surprised at the turnout.

Support is fanatical at the Pulp Sport stronghold - otherwise known as the TV3 reception area, although not every visitor has been pleased with their party slogan.

New Zealand First leader Winston Peters is said to have been particularly unimpressed.

The final cost of their campaign could end up being huge due to fines, but initial costs have been around $1,000.

"We're hoping to get that back," they say. "If we get 0.5 percent of the vote we get that back. So come on New Zealand, we'll put it on a bar somewhere."

The pair say their move to politics is due to a lack of a career they have experience with television and say they have their sights set on Parliament TV as somewhere where they can stretch their legs.
