Clive Palmer and Bob Katter's parties will be electoral wildcards in Queensland come the Federal Election in September. FLEDGLING parties led by Bob Katter and Clive Palmer could be electoral wildcards in Queensland, the latest Galaxy Poll suggests. In a warning to both major parties, the two new parties each attracted 6 per cent primary vote in the poll. While Labor fears it could lose regional votes to Mr Katter's party, former National Party strongholds could also be under threat. The LNP is particularly concerned about the threat because it is losing two Senators with a strong support in rural areas, Barnaby Joyce and Ron Boswell. The need to fight off a challenge from Mr Katter was cited as a factor in the LNP preselection to replace Senator Joyce last Saturday that saw the party's treasurer Barry O'Sullivan win the prize spot.
