Ricky Muir might have been the "accidental senator" but he says he's staying in politics regardless of the election result.
The Motoring Enthusiast Party MP was elected on a tiny primary vote in 2013 but says he has "caught the bug".
"If I don't get into the Senate this election, I'll wait til the next election," Senator Muir told AAP on Monday.
"Whether it be the Senate, the lower house, the state, even local council.
"One way or another I'll find my way back into politics."
Senator Muir said he wanted to keep representing people who wanted a voice of reason outside the traditional parties.
"With the government actually using my face as the poster child for electoral reform, I feel that I owe those one-in-four voters in the 2013 election who were looking for a party outside the majors," he said.
Despite coming from a timber working background, Senator Muir said he was attracting support from Green voters who respected his stands on renewable energy and asylum seekers.
Senator Muir says he's also attracting support from conservative voters who like his methodical examination of issues.
He'll be down in Gippsland on election night with his supporters.
"Unlike 2013 I will be watching the election," he said.
Senator Muir will address the Rural Press Club in Melbourne on Tuesday.
