Pretty awful as a matter of principle.

And of course most of them aren't too great in ideological terms either.

Katter's Australian Party, Palmer United Party, Kotleba – People's Party Our Slovakia, Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc, Lytvyn Bloc came to my mind, though the latter 2 are technically blocs.

Many other parties add name of the leader to their ballot name, seems to be a common practice in Serbia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbian_parliamentary_election,_2016.

But parties with "Marxist" in their name don't count since Marx isn't leader of any of them.

Also, Yabloko started as "Yavlinsky - Boldyrev - Lukin" bloc. There are also parties whose names are abbreviated to their leader's name or initials (En Marche!, KORWiN...) but this is also a somewhat different case.

What if the Virginia Democratic Party elected me (or another person named Virginia) as their chair? Would that make it an instant HP? Sad

Australia has a strange amount of these parties.

Katter's Australian Party, Nick Xenophon Team, Jacqui Lambie Network, Pauline Hanson's One Nation, Derryn Hinch's Justice Party, Palmer United Party...

Most of them to be fairly right-wing populist.

Jacqui Lambie, Derryn Hinch, and arguably Nick Xenophon (certainly, pre-2016 Nick Xenophon) are all basically independents with a prop "party".

Katter's Australian Party is great, but the rest seem to be complete garbage. HP on balance.
