The Minor Party Alliance (MPA) is a collaborative undertaking of small Australian political parties,created by Glenn Druery's "Independent Liaison" business,which assists in organising preference meetings and negotiating preference flows between minor parties in Australia. The aim of the Alliance is the election of Alliance candidates to Australian upper houses based upon the accumulation of their primary votes and the registered "above-the-line" party preferences to reach an electoral quota. For the Australian Senate,the quota for a half-Senate election in each State is normally 14.3%. The MPA effectively aims to "game" the electoral system,an act it believes to be justified,based upon their perception that the Australian electoral system is unfair and heavily biased against minor parties.
