Small party or grouping would be the correct term.

Doubt they will get any seats - maybe the Blaney up in DNE, but no else should be a contender.

It could evolve into a political party but at the moment all I see is a loose connection on some fundamental issues. The big thing for me is the "Party whip". Without the party whip these independents are still pretty much independent.
