The Australian Electoral
Commission reported that 54
political
parties
registered for the election, more than twice as many as for the
2010 election. In addition to the major and minor parties, many micro
parties formed. Thanks to preferences, one of the micro parties,
the Australian Motoring Enthusiasts Party, elected Ricky Muir to the
Senate representing Victoria.
