Katter party has no public support: Palmer

Katter's Australian Party is a "party of the past" with no public support, Clive Palmer says.

The federal MP says his party will never merge with KAP and instead will stand candidates in every Katter-held seat in north Queensland at the next state election.

He says any talk of an alliance between the parties is a desperate ploy by a "party of the past" to attract publicity.

"The Katter party has few members and little resources and, as recent elections have shown, no public support," Mr Palmer said in a statement.

"The Katter party is desperate to attract publicity and will say anything to get it.

"The Palmer United Party (PUP) has no interest in the Katter party.

"It's a party of the past."

The Palmer party managed 11 per cent of the vote in Queensland at the federal election, and the Katter party just 3.75 per cent.

Comment has been sought from KAP.
