Just Kidding, Not Kidding. Seriously, I'm only joking, No I'm not.
I would like to seriously add on to this statement. While I don't think anything can, or even should, be done about the visibilities on old parties, I do think it might be worth considering a rule restricting reactivations a short time ahead of elections, probably no more than 2 or 3 months (8-12 hours).
Under the previous Game Rules (which Moderation has now completely vanquished from public view on the forum) there was a provision which went at least a part of the way towards addressing the issue of parties which reactivate, win seats, then quickly drift off into inactivity again:
8.2.1 In circumstances where a player with above-minimum Visibility levels has just reactivated but then not logged in for 48 hours, and the next election is due within the next 24 hours (6 in-game months), Moderation will inactivate the player's account if this is requested by another player in the nation. The player requesting the inactivation should cite this rule when doing so.
