I realised today that there is a political party that i am prepared to get bhind and whos flag i am proud tp fly. I usally call myself a Tory but this is not a correct label, the policies that i support and would impliment if i was in charge cross the field from far right to far left. So no party has really suited me. Then i find Libertarianism. I have only just started reading up on it, and i would not be suprised if after posting this i find out that they are a real life "super adventure club" but hey, what iv read so far reflects my own political leanings rather well.

"While libertarians are a diverse group of people with many philosophical starting points, they share a defining belief: that everyone should be free to do as they choose, so long as they don't infringe upon the equal freedom of others."

"Libertarianism is the view that each person has the right to live his life in any way he chooses so long as he respects the equal rights of others. Libertarians defend each person's right to life, liberty, and property-rights that people have naturally, before governments are created. In the libertarian view, all human relationships should be voluntary; the only actions that should be forbidden by law are those that involve the initiation of force against those who have not themselves used force-actions like murder, rape, robbery, kidnapping, and fraud."

"Advocates oppose any form of taxation and favor a laissez-faire economic system."

"It is a vision of how people may endow their lives with meaning-living according to their deepest beliefs and taking responsibility for the consequences of their actions."

a few quotes, I like the sound of it so far. I hope theres nothing about theatins or alien death ship......
