Backbenchers Carl Judge and Alex Douglas have announced their resignation from the Queensland Government after falling out with the Liberal National Party.

Mr Judge told Parliament he can no longer serve the Government because it has not kept its election promises.

"I simply can not serve with people who lack respect and who want to yell abuse across the chamber and who won't allow mature debate to take place," he said.

"I won't be a part of that team.

"It's my responsibility to represent my electorate and sadly I do not believe this Government is fulfilling its election promises."

His move comes after the LNP held a party room meeting at Parliament House last night, and Mr Judge was not invited, after he refused to pledge allegiance to Premier Campbell Newman.

Deputy Premier Jeff Seeney later emerged saying the party room voted to ask the LNP executive to disendorse Mr Judge as the Member for Yeerongpilly.

Dr Douglas, the Member for Gaven, openly clashed with parliamentary leaders this week after he was removed as chairman of parliament's ethics committee.

He says the government is blundering its way forward, and voters know there is a better way.

"They don't want to see [leaders] demanding pledges of loyalty," he said.

"You earn respect by example and by doing the correct thing."

Yesterday Dr Douglas said he would probably die as a member of the LNP, but today it appears he has changed his mind.

"There's an enormous gulf between what I believe are the principles and values of the party that I know and what I currently see on the parliamentary benches," he said.

"I believe I am best suited to represent the people of Gaven as an independent.

"I have fought hard for them on many levels, and will continue to do so. My relationship with the party members and the leadership team has deteriorated and it is not going to improve if I stay put."

Palmer's plans

Both Mr Judge and Dr Douglas will now sit as independents.

Earlier today, they met with billionaire businessman Clive Palmer, who says there is a 50 per cent chance he will set up a new party.

"With 30 per cent of Queenslanders saying that they want an alternative party to push their cause, I'll have to consider that over the weekend and decide what we should do in the future, whether we should have a new party in this state and see how it goes and see if we can get the media to come back for yet again another press conference. Who knows?" he said today.

But Mr Palmer would not say whether Mr Judge or Dr Douglas would be part of it.

"I don't know, I hadn't thought about it. I mean, the press has said a lot about it but I've got to build the Titanic, I've got to do a whole lot of things, so this hasn't been the foremost on my mind," he said.

"But when you see what happened in Parliament yesterday, you can't allow that to continue, because our freedom's worth something."

Mr Judge also did not rule out joining a Palmer political party.

"There's no new party at the moment," he said.

"If there is a new party, and if there is a constitution that's presented to me, and if I'm expelled from the Liberal National Party, at that point in time I'll look at it."

'Fired up and united'

At the weekend, Condamine MP Ray Hopper defected to Katter's Australian Party.

But the Premier has told State Parliament those who are left in the party are united.

"In relation to this fine group of men and women, I have never seen them so galvanised, so fired up, so united as the team I see here today," Mr Newman said.

The resignations have come on the last parliamentary sitting day of the year.

Mr Newman will leave the ruckus behind tonight when he flies to India for a five-day trade mission.

He will return to a State Government that still holds a healthy majority, with 75 out of 89 seats.
