The name is needed to differentiate, but it also turns people off.

I think they would need to gain a larger proportion of the vote and subsume or ally with another party and rebrand, to gain traction in the future
Reckon the LDP and the Sex Party need to combine their talents and try to get a decent sized party up.

There can be only one...
I am always in awe just how easily politicians can just keep bullshiting, doesn't matter which party or what level, just can keep crapping on about bullshit non-stop.

The problem there is that the values of the LDP, both socially and economically liberal are at odds with some of the nutters, but the LDP is quiet enough on the social stuff that the pretend libertarians can turn off to it

If the two combine, they have to calculate whether the two halves which are more agressively libertarian in one area, can be stronger as a group and not weaker for the shed votes.

Its a danger. The members and core supporters for both parties are more honestly libertarians but I find that a lot of voters only identify with either the economic or more "American" style values, such as laxer gun laws, of the LDP, or the more socially libertarian values of the Sex party.

Can't believe Channel 10 has no coverage of the election until 10.00pm (on any of their channels). Guess they were thinking the count would be much closer.
Pretty much a ratings throwaway.
Most of 10's core audience are either children or dribblers.

LDP voters would definitely be the most interesting combination of people. From Meds, to Smithy to Evo there's a few different types.
