Not to mention that it wouldn't be worth it what with the UKLP having recently been formed.

It is also clear that most people don't believe in liberty, which is a shame, but perhaps more exposure to such ideas would change that. I myself didn't even know what libertarianism was until I was 19 - I knew all the other ideologies. It was only due to a three week course on Robert Nozick that I was exposed.
