I propose merging Australian Country Party (2004) into Australian Federation Party. It appears that the Federation Party is merely a succession of the Country Party: rather than establishing a new party, the existing Country Party registrations with the AEC and the NTEC were renamed. This, to me at least, does not signify the Federation Party to be a separate entity to the Country Party, and its history would be more adequately covered in one article.

I agree, this sounds like a good idea. --JBL (talk) 15:04, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have a particular view. When I created this page it looked like the Australian Conservatives were also going to merge. They had a notice in the NSW Electoral Commission to rename into the AFP, but it looks like it was withdrawn. At the moment it's just a renamed Country Party with a non-notable party (T4T) that joined, so it's not really that particularly notably different. Catiline52 (talk) 06:35, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
As a separate point, re: T4T. Having looked into that minor party, and referring to your creation of this redirect, I would suggest that party's entire history could be summarised into a sentence. It appears to me that T4T has become the Tasmanian division (although given the size of the AFP, I use that term loosely) of the AFP. Heyitsstevo (talk) 06:52, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
