[quote=@Muttonhawk] Granted, Aussie parties are more upfront with their naming in the senate. Shooters and Fishers Party. Family First Party. Christian Party. Sex Party. Not even joking with that last one. It's one of the many reasons why I enjoy our preference voting system. [/quote] Given the vast number of microparties, it is probably a necessity for them to communicate their core ideals in their name alone if they want any hope of getting voted in. Otherwise most voters will get to the booth on polling day, read the ballot paper and think "who the heck are those guys?"
