IS religion becoming more influential in Australian politics? (Though I admit that perhaps the name 'Sex Party' doesn't have much relevance to their core idea. Seeing that, I'm just thinking: 'ah, and those must be the representatives of dick-thinking. Wouldn't 'The Sin Party' have been better? Or 'The Get-Religion-Out-of-Politics Party'...)

Religion may have had increasing influence a few years ago. These days, it's probably more far-righters detracting from the main right wing party into the 'I'm scared shitless of the gays' parties.

In my limited understanding, the Sex Party developed from a bunch of advocacy groups for sexual health and civil rights, hence the name. As for why that name if it's not necessarily their platform, what can I say? Sex sells, man.
