MP1: But that has the word ‘unity’ in it twice!

MP2: Exactly! That’s how people will know how unified we are!

At this point, the unified proponents of a unity government of unified unity all started fist fighting.

After talks broke down, the proponents of the idea eventually settled on the one name they could all agree on. The name of this unity administration will be:
