Preamble: We, the undersigned, recognizing the inherent value of horizontal living and the profound inefficiency of unnecessary exertion, hereby establish the Procrastinators' Party. We believe that excessive activity is a societal ill and that true progress lies in strategic inaction.
Our Core Principles:
- Radical Relaxation: We advocate for a national policy of mandatory siestas, extended weekends, and the abolition of early mornings. Productivity is overrated; comfort is paramount.
- Technological Dependence: We embrace technology as the ultimate tool for minimizing effort. We demand further investment in automation, remote work infrastructure, and delivery services for everything imaginable. Robots should do the heavy lifting (literally).
- The Right to Do Nothing: We believe that doing absolutely nothing is a fundamental human right. We reject the societal pressure to constantly be "productive" and celebrate the art of simply existing.
- Minimum Effort, Maximum Reward: We support policies that prioritize efficiency and minimize unnecessary work. We advocate for streamlined processes, simplified bureaucracy, and the elimination of pointless meetings.
- Strategic Procrastination: We recognize that some things must eventually be done. However, we believe in the power of strategic procrastination – delaying tasks until the last possible moment, often resulting in them magically resolving themselves or becoming irrelevant.
- Comfort Above All: We prioritize comfort in all aspects of life. We support the development of self-cleaning homes, self-folding laundry, and self-driving cars. We advocate for comfortable clothing to be the national standard. Pajamas in parliament? Absolutely.
- Against Unnecessary Movement: We oppose any activity that requires unnecessary movement. We support the construction of moving walkways everywhere, and the popularization of personal transportation devices. Walking? Only if absolutely necessary.
Our Policy Proposals:
- National Napping Day: A weekly national holiday dedicated to undisturbed sleep.
- Universal Remote Control Access: Free distribution of universal remotes to every household.
- Mandatory Streaming Subscriptions: Government-funded subscriptions to all major streaming services.
- The Institute for the Study of Optimal Laziness: A research institute dedicated to finding new and innovative ways to minimize effort.
- Guaranteed Basic Income (for Napping): A stipend for all citizens to support their right to do nothing.
Our Call to Action (or Rather, Inaction):
We urge all like-minded individuals to join our movement. Or, you know, maybe later. No rush. Just relax. We'll get around to it eventually.
Slogan: "Why do it today when you can… well, you know."
