UKIP I had to make a choice. LPUK are closer to my ideological position, but right now, I don't feel it is ready to make an impact. UKIP is pretty close (with the odd disagreement), but the thought of Knaphill not having a serious alternative to the LibLabCon/EU was not tolerable for me. So I am running for UKIP, but you can think of me as a Libertarian UKIPer. If you want less government int...

I am a Libertarian Party member, yet I am advocating voting for UKIP at the EU joke elections. Why? Here is why. LPUK have taken the honest, correct and principled stand of not standing in those elections. This brings a number of benefits. a) It won't be corrupted by the EU system that is designed to corrupt. b) LPUK will focus on the elections that truly matter. The UK one's. c) It is i...

I have been meaning to post this for a while, but I was rather pleased by this comment on the LPUK manifesto from an American libertarian. It places great emphasis on the Rule of Law. What I particularly enjoyed about the UK Libertarian's manifesto was that after reading it, I understood the libertarian philosophical goals they hope to achieved, as well as the practical approach to advance the Bri...

Apart from the LPUK notices outlined below, there are a few other things of a libertarian nature to plug. First, members of LPUK (your humble Devil included) will be talking to a combined meeting of the Cambridge University Conservative Association and the Cambridge Libertarian Society on Tuesday 28th October. The format is, I believe, similar to the Oxford meeting, i.e. a swift talk and then a Q ...

Seeing as Sir Michael White has decided not to write about the Libertarian Party despite the challenge laid down for him, I guess it falls upon myself to undertake an analysis of British politics, and show where the LPUK fits into the mainstream, but most importantly why it was necessary to form the Libertarian Party in the first place.

There is an interview with Nigel Farage, leader of UKIP, in this month's Total Politics and one of the questions concerns the Libertarian Party. What about the new Libertarian Party? That is a threat to you. You have lost people to it. [Shrugs]. Of course. People join organisations and they think that they are destined to lead these organisations and when it doesn't work out they seek pastures new...

Not the LPUK, but the older Libertarian Party in the US. There has been much disquiet over the recent press release calling for more government power. Libertarians do not call for that, they want less - that’s probably the only uniting concept of libertarians (from socialists to capitalists to populists). How much debated, why is debated,

Libertarian Party LPUK Policy: Monetary Reform WHY DO WE NEED MONETARY REFORM? The monetary reform proposals of the Libertarian Party consist of three central planks. However, and before we can talk about what we'd like to change, we need to take a brief look at how the current banking system works, and expose the flaws that our policies seek to address. WHERE DOES MONEY COME FROM? Most peopl...
