Manifesto
of
the
Bored
Party
A
spectre
is
haunting
Europe
–
the
spectre
of
boredom
.
All
the
powers
of
old
Europe
have
entered
into
a
holy
alliance
to
exorcise
this
spectre
:
Pope
and
Tsar
,
Metternich
and
Guizot
,
French
Radicals
and
German
police-spies
.
Where
is
the
party
in
opposition
that
has
not
been
decried
as
communistic
by
its
opponents
in
power
?
Where
is
the
opposition
that
has
not
hurled
back
the
branding
reproach
of
boredom
,
against
the
more
advanced
opposition
parties
,
as
well
as
against
its
reactionary
adversaries
?
Two
things
result
from
this
fact
:
I.
Boredom
is
already
acknowledged
by
all
European
powers
to
be
itself
a
power
.
II
.
It
is
high
time
that
Boreds
should
openly
,
in
the
face
of
the
whole
world
,
publish
their
views
,
their
aims
,
their
tendencies
,
and
meet
this
nursery
tale
of
the
Spectre
of
Boredom
with
a
manifesto
of
the
party
itself
.
To
this
end
,
Boreds
of
various
nationalities
have
assembled
in
London
and
sketched
the
following
manifesto
,
to
be
published
in
the
English
,
French
,
German
,
Italian
,
Flemish
and
Danish
languages
