Rose Tattoo frontman turned anti-carbon tax campaigner Angry Anderson has joined the National Party and says he is interested in standing for a seat at the next federal election.

The 64-year-old from Sydney's northern beaches says he would be prepared to move to the country if necessary.

He says he grew up in a family of Labor Party supporters but he believes the ALP has lost its way.

"In my opinion Labor has lost their way, possibly lost their soul," he said.

Mr Anderson says he has not been offered a seat by the Nationals but is open to the idea, if they approached him about standing.

"Then I would self examine yet one last time and think 'Okay, am I ready for this? Do I think I could do a good job?' And me personally, the absolute direct honest answer is I think I'm ready," he said.

"Things I've never done before always energise me. I'm not afraid of taking risks."

He says he has drifted to the conservative side of politics in recent times, spurred on also by the carbon tax issue.

"The tax itself is fraudulent as far as I'm concerned," he said.
