Three party system : I will do everything party A+2 and party B+1
Unfortunately party A&B spent the last 4 decades destroying the education system so no one knows algebra anymore (including me so I might have done that wrong).

Wait... If you add all the numbers together, don't you get 0? Since for every number you're also adding the negative.
Huh that would make him the most truthful politician... What a paradox
Technically (not really) sum of all positive integers results in -1/12, which is due to the nature of infinite series and MATH I no longer understand. So it stands to reason, that if you add a -1 multiplier and sum results of both series together, you would get 0! Approximately.
But 0! is 1.
