Mr Parish said the closure of the train service to Bell Bay compelled him to contest the election.
``It seemed like that had forgotten about us up here in Bass,'' he said.
``It;'s affecting the viability of some businesses at Bell Bay _ they think the government has left them to wither.''
Mr Parish joins website designer Peter Kaye, investor Mark Webb, dairy farmer Sven Wiener and Jim Collier who wants to abolish State Parliament.
The Northern electorate is the division with the most independent candidates in it.
There are two independents in Braddon and one in Franklin and Denison while the Socialist Alliance is represented by one candidate in Denison.
