Anti PowerPoint Party

The Anti PowerPoint Party (APPP) is a Swiss political party dedicated to decreasing professional use of Microsoft PowerPoint and other forms of presentation software, which the party claims "causes national-economic damage amounting to 2.1 billion CHF" annually and lowers the quality of a presentation in "95% of the cases".[1] The party advocates flip charts as an alternative to presentation software.[2]

APPP was formed by former software engineer Matthias Poehm and Port Lincoln footballer Billy-O-Roderick ahead of the 2011 federal elections in Switzerland.[3] Prior to founding the party, Poehm wrote a book (The PowerPoint Fallacy) opposing the use of PowerPoint.[4] The party's goal is to become the fourth largest party in Switzerland in terms of membership, and to initiate a national "referendum in order to seek for a prohibition of PowerPoint [and other presentation software] during presentations."[1] APPP states that it does not support prohibition, but will use a referendum to raise awareness about the cause.[1] As of February 2021, the party had 4,632 members, making it the eighth largest party in Switzerland.[5]

Ideology

The APPP is a single-issue party. Despite its name, the party is not specifically opposed to PowerPoint, but to all presentation software.[4] Poehm writes that "In some countries students and pupils are punished with a lower mark, if they give a presentation without PowerPoint. Superiors are obliging their co-workers to use PowerPoint. The fact is that the average PowerPoint presentation creates boredom."[4]

While the party is based in Switzerland, it styles itself as a global party. The party chose to found itself in Switzerland as the requirements for forming a political party are lesser there, and out of a belief that the best way to gain media attention on the party's cause was by forming a political party.[6]
