Federal MP Bob Katter says he's always loved power and would be happy to be the Kingmaker at this year's federal election.
The member for Kennedy and Katter's Australian Party leader launched his campaign at a pub in far north Queensland on Sunday where country music singer and KAP Senate hopeful James Blundell entertained supporters.
Mr Katter told a crowd of about 50 that the election wasn't a two-party race like national media had led Australians to believe.
"I don't want people to think we can't win because we can," he told the group of mainly older farmers and graziers.
He described his campaign as a "guerrilla outfit" and said his supporters are a "huge army on the march".
Mr Katter said many had referred to KAP as holding the balance of power if there was a hung parliament following the September 7 election.
"I'm a person who has always loved power," he told AAP after the event.
"I'd love to have that power."
He has "very little interest" when it comes to party preferences as the Liberal National Party and Labor are similar, he says.
"I wouldn't care if the Billy Billibong Party is the government of Australia."
If there is a hung parliament he plans to present each party with a 20-point KAP wishlist.
"(I will say) if you give me these things then I'll give you the prime ministership of Australia and if you don't then I won't and if you double cross me when you get in there you'll be thrown out on your head."
Mr Katter told KAP supporters as they ate a BBQ dinner that the party stood for boosting manufacturing, agriculture and ensuring jobs remained in Australia.
Local man and former dairy farmer John Fry said he'd voted for Mr Katter for the past two decades because he understood issues affecting those in rural areas.
"A lot of people down south don't know what's even going on in the north," the 87-year-old told AAP.
"We need more local manufacturing because everything is going overseas."
