Only if done with a hint of satire can a political party be subversive
(in the sense that the structure being satired loses credibility.)
However, for a political party to actually subvert anything, it probably
can't work within the structure itself. Change from within, according to
the rules, is not subversion. It's just democracy.

In what way would it be a forking attack?
