The Flux Party is standing by its decision to run 26 upper house independent candidates who will all preference it in next weekend's WA state election.
The new micro party says it's being "innovative and pragmatic" in using the electoral system to maximise its result and denies accusations it's using "fake" independents.
The key concept driving the strategy is that independents' names will appear "above the line" on the upper house ballot paper.
"Considering that most people vote above the line, it's an opportunity to capture more votes," Flux campaign manager Daithi Gleeson told AAP.
He is unapologetic about the tactic, saying its for a "noble" purpose - to make Australian democracy better.
"We need to work within the system that we have to bring about the system that we want to have," he said.
Competing against major parties who spend millions on advertising, Mr Gleeson said the Flux Party is using the mechanisms available.
Flux will also run 24 candidates under the actual Flux name across both the lower and upper houses.
Mr Gleeson is himself a Flux Party upper house candidate for the state's southwest region.
Under the party's unique tech-savvy model, representatives vote on legislation only as directed by a majority of Flux participants, who make their views known via a Flux phone app.
"There's a lot of people who are really inspired and motivated by what we're doing," Mr Gleeson said.
The Flux Party doesn't have a policy platform yet because it will be formed on a case by case basis by app users, as legislation comes before parliament.
Mr Gleeson said he is optimistic the party will win some seats in the March 11 election.
