What's with "non un-"?  
The Workers' Party showed at the 2006 polls, for instance, that it was able to put together a not unimpressive line-up of candidates.

Is it that difficult for the press to acknowledge that the WP fielded an impressive group of candidates at the last elections? Enough with insinuations, now.

To say that the WP line-up was "impressive" would have permitted accusations of political bias by more sensitive members of The Party.

"Not unimpressive" is already pretty okay.

I wonder if the same term would have been used to describe The Party's candidates. Just nitpicking, anyway =p

This is a disease! It must be PURGED.

To eliminate it, repeat the following sentence over and over:

"The not unblack dog chased the not unsmall rabbit across the not ungreen field."

This is certainly a not unworthy suggestion =)
