Current Status
Despite the demise of the McGSP, Clan McGillicuddy still holds regular public events. For example, a pacifist battle in Oamaru on 31 December 2007 saw McGillicuddy "Martians" take on Alf's Imperial Army in an enactment of The War of the Worlds. YouTube hosts a video of this battle.
The Bill and Ben Party emerged as an alternative New Zealand joke political party in 2008. The Bill and Ben Party is different to McGillicuddy in the sense that the 'joke' centers around alcohol use and youthful behaviour as opposed to satire.
