There is a massive divide between the residents of the conurbations of capital cities and those of regional, rural and remote Australia. This divide was reaffirmed by the voting in the 2023 VOICE Referendum with many electorates centred about our capital cities voting Yes while all regional, rural and remote electorates voted NO.

While there are calls to unite a number of minor parties and the defection of various individuals of the Liberal and National Parties, those involved have a perceived position of power and influence which they will not relinquish on the vagary that joining or forming a new entity will provide them with an advantage. Additionally, PHON and UAP have zero interest in grassroots members and current members of any political party are afraid to cut the umbilical cord.

With KAP it is all about the branding and it has never had a policy setting to effectively replace the National Party that deserted regional, rural and remote Queensland when it merged with the Liberals.

We need a incarnation of of what was the Queensland National Party without the baggage. New name and ZERO influence from SEQ power brokers! There are some old guard Nationals within the LNP probing opportunities for its resurrection but will do nothing till some entity such as the New Country Queensland Party or Regional Australia Party (QLD) achieve political party registration through their membership numbers.
