For a libertarian organisation I believe this is wrong. As long as our party memberships aren't contrary to each other's aims, wy should they be able to refuse members on the basis of membership of another Party, even one with quite similar aims?

I've had a look at the website, and it appears that the Libertarian Party is still emerging.

Can anyone give me a good run down of its history, members, leadership and policies please? I'd be grateful!

I think thats a bit bog standard as it's seen as a conflict of interest. How ever I think it would be good to have such parties even if they have for the moment no real chance of winning they are good as pressure groups.

I think the message of liberty will be what people will soon be looking for.

So far no feedback but 4 calls from people I know who were appalled at the amounts he has claimed on top of his £60k salary.

Thats the way to put it right in their faces,expose them like this and let the public know what they are up to and what they can expect in the future.

If the local rag refuses to publish this kind of thing put an add in their paper outlining the scam as a public announcement by the local Branch,they will greedily take your money for the advert.

There isn't another with similar aims. We are the only party that holds self-ownership at its core and individual liberty as it's sole reason for existence.
Which other party does this?

(Hint: UKIP aren't nearly libertarian enough for us)

I have always believed that the key tactic for small parties should be to sabotage the big treason-parties. That way you can punch well above your weight. I did it myself years ago when I hit the Tories in Portsmouth with a slate of Independent Conservatives, split the vote and trashed at least three Tory councillors.

The problem arises when idiots actually start to believe 'I can win!'

I think some lessons have been learned from another party very close to this forum.

The last thing the Libertarian Party needs, is for a load of Tories, Labour a-holes or Lib Dems, treating it as a little pressure group and then skulking back to the traitor parties at the most important times.

Looking at this Libertarian Party poster, what exactly is the policy being promoted? - No MPs? Less pay for MPs? No expenses for MPs?
eublues is online now
