“I'd vote for any party that would say "I won't allow people to throw garbage all over me." But none of the parties seem to be particularly interested.”

Peter Cook (1937–1995) British architect

"The World Domination League" (1964)
E. L. Wisty
Context: I'd vote for any party that would say "I won't allow people to throw garbage all over me." But none of the parties seem to be particularly interested. That's why I formed the World Domination League. It's a wonderful league, the World Domination League. The aims, as published in the manifesto, are total domination of the world by 1958. That's what we're planning to do. We've had to revise it. We're hoping to bring a new manifesto out with a more realistic target.
