History
The A.M.P. was formed in May 2007[5] and became an official registered party in 2008.[2] They put forward 6 candidates for the 2008 ACT elections and used a bus equipped with a public address system to promote their new political party.[6] Burl Doble and Geoff Rake ran for seats in Brindabella. Ginninderra had Denis Walford and Andrew Simmington running and Joe Hlubucek and David Cumbers ran in Molonglo.[4] None of the candidates won the seats they were running for on election night, but Walford made a speech to A.M.P. president, Geoff Develin, to stay positive. In the 2012 ACT Elections the party ran candidates in each of the 3 electorates, most notably in Ginninderra, Summernauts organiser Chic Henry contested the seat and secured a sizeable 6.6% of the vote. The party once again, however failed to have any candidates elected. [7]
