The Canberra Liberals are undemocratic, out of touch with the ACT community and dominated by the ideological hard right, according to former leader Gary Humphries.
In his parting letter to friends and supporters in the local party, the former senator described a party with dead people on its membership lists, where meetings were regularly stacked and which could not manage its own finances.
But Canberra Liberals leader Jeremy Hanson, in response, labelled Mr Humphries bitter and angry, and said that it was the ex-senator's views that were "completely out of step and out of touch".
Mr Humphries, who has been appointed to a $460,000 job as deputy president of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, says the Canberra Liberals are heading toward their fifth successive defeat unless the party reforms itself.

In a letter written to about 200 of the local party's moderate "Menzies Group" just before his new appointment, the former chief minister offered a gloomy assessment of the present state of the Canberra Liberals.
"I believe the need for reform is so significant it could prevent us winning the next ACT election if it goes unaddressed," he wrote.
Mr Humphries wrote that parties seeking government must "hold values and pursue policies which resonate with local people, which keep the party anchored in the community it serves.
"We have lost four ACT elections in a row because we have lost sight of this ideal.

A political commentator thinks the Liberal Party's need to show unity will keep South Australian Opposition Leader Steven Marshall safe in his job.
When counting was finalised on Saturday, a week after polling day, Labor grabbed a win in the state by-election in Fisher by just 23 votes over the Liberal contender.
The result gave the ALP a majority in its own right in the SA Parliament, meaning the two independents in the Labor ministry no longer need to be relied on to pass legislation in the House of Assembly.
Dr Clem Macintyre of Adelaide University said Mr Marshall's leadership of the Liberals would seem safe for the moment because another state by-election looms, for the Adelaide Hills-based electorate of Davenport at the end of January.
"I'm sure there'll be conversations going on within the Liberal Party but I don't think there would be any move against Steven Marshall at this stage," he said.
"I don't see any clear alternative leader [and] we've got another by-election coming.
"The Liberals will need to present a united front, to put their best foot forward there."
He said another swing of the magnitude of Fisher in the looming by-election would undoubtedly see leadership questions asked in state Liberal ranks.
Dr Macintyre said Liberal campaigning tactics needed scrutiny in the wake of the Fisher result.
"It's a huge hit for the Liberals," he said.
