What The Libertarian Party Stands For
•Individual liberty, freedom and the self-responsibility that comes with it.
•Free enterprise and Honest Markets for the prosperity and opportunity they bring.
•Small Government and low taxation.
•Rule of Law applied without fear or favour.
The qualities of life shown above have slowly been accrued over the centuries by the bravery, courage, sacrifice and blood of our forebears. Much of this has been eroded in recent years. We wish to restore these hard-won freedoms to the United Kingdom, and this is why we formed the Libertarian Party.

Freedom is distinct from the idea of “rights”. People have freedoms, yet each freedom comes with the responsibility not to encroach upon the equal or superior freedoms of others. If someone has a “right”, which might be better described as an “entitlement”, it comes with an obligation upon a third party to furnish that entitlement. An example of a freedom is the freedom to learn. An example of a right is the right to an education. We are for Freedoms and Liberty, not “rights”.

In regards to the role of the State, we believe there is a need for Defence and the apparatus of law enforcement such as Courts, Prisons and a Police force that upholds Rule of Law with the consent of the People, not as a tool of the State. This is why we might be described as Minarchists, for we believe in a small State, one that does not interfere or tell you how to live your life, but will defend you against those who may try to do so.

This is radical man ;D I like ;P
