Prime Minister Joins Legendary Comedy Quartet ?

In an official announcement today, Prime Minister Fernetti announced his intentions to spark some light-hearted activity in Liberalia by joining the Marx Brothers. Millions of Libers have been invested in finding some way of bringing the Marx Brothers back to life, all of them having been dead since 1979, but a Popular Front spokesman said he was confident that "with our extensive programme of grants to the scientific research community, we are sure to find a breakthrough within the coming months".
Previous attempts at injecting Communist philosophy into the trio of Groucho, Harpo, Chico and Zeppo were met with mixed results. For example, the cameo role of Engels Marx in the early 20th century was a critical success, boosting the popularity of the group until his death in a freak accident when diving with a group of high-ups in the Adam Smith Institute. However, the trial of "Josef Marx" as a piece of Cold War propaganda is widely blamed for the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Followers of comedic satire have welcomed the move, describing it as "an avant-garde amalgam of the innovative surrealist comedy of Not the Nine O' Clock News and the cutting political satire of Yes, Prime Minister". Our Layman's Terms translation team is hard at work on the sentence as we speak.
Opposition parties have criticised the move, maintaining that our politicians should be held to a higher standard of discourse and common sense than these cheap clowns, before promptly dropping a ten-ton weight on a group of Popular Front politicians, who, rather luckily, were carrying umbrellas at the time
