Any suggestions gratefully considered for the name of an organisation that may (and it is a very big may) be formed at some stage to contest election(s) with the objective of making Australia's legislatures more representative of the community.
Simply as conversation starters, what about: Participate in Democracy; Democracy in Action; Direct Democracy; or Your Party?
Looking forward to reading any suggestions.

Hi Searching1

what do you mean by "more representative of the community" - e.g. electoral reform, gender or ethnic quotas for parliament, citizen initiated referenda, equal-sized electorates?

There seems to be an impled grievance behind your question (the comumnity is not represented), but without knowing what you think the problem is and how you might address it, we probabably can't help you much.

You should call yourself the Free Beer & Hookers Party. The name might not reflect your platform but it will attract lots of votes regardless.

I don't know Toni, the sex party didn't do too well at the last election (I ranked it pretty high, though)

perhaps the beer will work, though

Or you could steal a move from the Liberal Democrats: call yourself the Libberal Party, and collect extra votes from people who mistake you for the Liberal Party. It's cheap and underhanded, but who cares as long as you get the votes, right?

Good point Toni

Which is the greater deception, though: the Liberal Democrats pretending to be Liberals, or the Liberals pretending to be liberals?
