When people are dissatisfied with their elected representatives, they have a few options open to them.
They can protest, lobby, or mount advertising campaigns to pressure politicians. They can join a party and attempt to change it from within. They can decide to run for office as an Independent. They can opt out
of voting altogether.
Or they can do what the Australian Democrats and Australian Greens did before them – start their own political party.
This weekend, two groups did exactly that.
Independent MP Bob Katter announced the formation of his Katter’s Australian Party.
And evangelical Christian group Catch the Fire Ministries launched its Rise Up Australia Party — via redwolf.newsvine.com
