The Union of Conscientiously Work-Shy Elements (Danish: Sammenslutning af Bevidst Arbejdssky Elementer) was an unusually successful frivolous political party in Denmark. It was founded in Aarhus in 1979 by a comedian, Jacob Haugaard (born 1952), and a few friends. Haugaard stood as a candidate in Aarhus in each parliamentary election, until September 1994 when he was very unexpectedly elected to the Folketing with 23,253 personal votes, thereby winning a "kredsmandat" (a locally based seat in parliament). He made the following promises in the 1994 election:

| - The Union of Conscientiously Work-Shy Elements (Danish: Sammenslutning af Bevidst Arbejdssky Elementer) was an unusually successful frivolous political party in Denmark. It was founded in Aarhus in 1979 by a comedian, Jacob Haugaard (born 1952), and a few friends. Haugaard stood as a candidate in Aarhus in each parliamentary election, until September 1994 when he was very unexpectedly elected to the Folketing with 23,253 personal votes, thereby winning a "kredsmandat" (a locally based seat in parliament). He made the following promises in the 1994 election:
* Tail winds on all cycle paths
* Better weather
* Better Christmas presents
* Less sex in school staff rooms (withdrawn during the campaign – he said it had been brought to his attention that sex in the staff room was a long-established privilege for teachers and as such could not be abolished)
* More whales in the fjord of Randers
* The right to impotency
* More Renaissance furniture in IKEA
* 8 hours of spare time, 8 hours of rest, 8 hours of sleep (a parody of a popular slogan of the eight-hour day movement: "Eight hours' labour, Eight hours' recreation, Eight hours' rest")
* Nutella in army field rations
* The placing of a public toilet in the park in Aarhus where he spent his state party funding on serving beer and sausages to his voters after each election.
* More bread for the ducks in parks The last three promises were actually fulfilled during his term in office. While the party had been intended as a joke, he found himself often having the deciding vote in a hung parliament, and took his duties seriously until the parliamentary election in March 1998. He then announced his retirement from politics. (en)
- Sammanslutningen av medvetet arbetsskygga element (Sammenslutningen af Bevidst Arbejdssky Elementer, SABAE) är en dansk förening, som bildades 1979 i marxistiska och anarkistiska kretsar i Århus. Bland föreningens frontfigurer återfanns arbetarhistorikern (da), författaren och spindoktorn Paul Smith, journalisten Frans Novak samt musikern (da). Den sistnämnde ställde flera gånger upp i folketingsvalet som representant för SABAE, med vallöften som:
* Mindre sex på lärarrummen
* Medvind på alla danska cykelbanor
* Större julklappar till alla
* Flera valar i Randers Fjord
* Fler renässansmöbler på IKEA
* 8 timmars fritid, 8 timmars vila, 8 timmars sömn År 1994 valdes han, mycket överraskande in i folketinget, med över 23 000 personvalsröster. Som tack för väljarstödet bjöd Haugaard på öl och korv i Ridhuset i Århus, finansierat av det partistöd han fick från staten. Flera av SABAE:s ledande företrädare vände föreningen ryggen efter att Haugaard valts in i folketinget. Jacob Haugaards humor passade inte in i den marxist-anarkistiska retorik som föreningen hållit sig med. Sedan Jacob Haugaard valet därpå åkte ur folketinget har SABAE haft en mer undanskymd tillvaro, men föreningen har aldrig blivit formellt upplöst. År 2012 uttalade föreningen sitt stöd för den danske mediakändisen (da) som väckt uppmärksamhet med att återkommande ha sökt och fått försörjningsstöd (da: kontanthjælp). (sv)
