    Spawned off an adult entertainment trade association.

    Reason is a merge of the Sex Party, Cyclists, and the NSW euthanasia party. Basically a broad tent party of single issue parties that have no reason to oppose each others goals. Sadly they haven’t faired too well at the polls last election.

    I’d love to see them merge with the Fusion party - itself a merger of the Science Party, Pirate Party, Secular Party, Vote Planet, and Climate Change Justice Party.

    And for all of them to stick with one bloody name so they can build up public recognition. At least people took notice of the Sex party name.

        Sadly no.

        We have two main parties Lib and Lab. Both rightwing neoliberal parties , one is slightly more right to the other. Imagine a little bit more left Dems vs a little bit more right Dems.

        Our preferential system means all votes have to end in 2 parties. Thus any slightly left parties vote is funnelled to Labor and any slightly right parties goes to Liberal.

        We get the illusion of more than 2 parties.
