List of political parties in Australia
[1][2] Although this group has changed its nomenclature, there has been a general continuity of MPs and structure between different forms of the party.[7] The Nationals contest a limited number of seats and do not generally directly compete with the Liberal Party.In 1987, the National Party made an abortive run for the office of prime minister in its own right, in the Joh for Canberra campaign.He assumed office in August 1941 after the resignation of Robert Menzies and served as prime minister until October of that year.[10] The Country Liberal Party was formed in 1978 when the Northern Territory gained responsible government.Additionally, support for Independent politicians in Australia has resulted in major parties having to come to agreements to form government at times, including the 2010 Australian Federal Election.
