Default Vote Sanity, Vote Reality, Vote Libertarian !

VOTE LDP


The LDP's position sometimes confuses those who like to apply left and right labels to political ideologies. Free trade is considered to be right-wing while drug legalisation is left-wing. Cutting tax is right-wing but defending civil liberties and gay rights is left-wing.

However, all of these positions share the common principle of decreasing the role of government. They differ from "left-wing" people who often want the government to control the economy but not our social lives, and from "right-wing" people who want the government to control our social lives but not the economy.



The LDP's philosophy is broadly described as classical liberal or libertarian, although those are not necessarily precise labels.

Libertarianism, for example, can be based on two very different philosophical starting points. Some libertarians believe that free markets and individual freedom should be preferred because they are more moral political systems. Such people argue that it is immoral to take money from people by force and to tell people how to live their lives.

The other philosophical position is utilitarianism. Utilitarian libertarians believe that a small government will lead to better outcomes than a big government. Such people argue that libertarian solutions will lead to greater wealth, less poverty, more diversity and will generally make people happier.

The first philosophical position is concerned with process, while the second is concerned with outcomes. In reality, most libertarians (and most people) care about both.

Acceptance by libertarians of the rights of individuals to pursue their activities, subject to non-coercion of others, does not indicate endorsement of those activities.

Liberal Democratic Party

Default Reality Action Crunch Time

Ok folks, crunch time .

Here's your chance to break free from your programming , break free from the brainwashed sheeple brigade . VOTE LDP .

A definition of madness is to continually repeat the same thing over and over again with the same unsuccessful result.
Bit like voting for either major party isn't it ?
Come on , you at least know that in your gut .

Today there is no excuse to be uninformed .
Readers of my posts over the last 5yrs should be made well aware of the fake front of representative democracy that has been shoved in our faces all our lives . It should be painfully obvious by now that there is little or no real differences between the major parties . They are bought and paid for by big monied interests, NOT YOURS !

I am encouraged by the number of chesschat members who have declared support for the LDP .
Spiny Norman has always impressed me with his reality analysis , and his strong clear thinking decision to break the chains of unreality is to be highly commended .
As i should also commend the other members there too for their comments of support for the LDP.

I think this is part of a general awakening . Thanks primarily to the internet which allows for a far freer flow of information , of which, the truth-flows, have the strongest current .

Thanks to the internet Jehovah Witnesses have discovered just how many false prophesies of the end of the world have been claimed prevously by their church - and so they have deserted the church in droves.

no , but it is not entirely beyond the realms of possibility , that others may well do precisely just that .

Default Centrist Needs See Change

I'm very confident that real Julia, in contrast to fake Julia and fake real Julia, supports gay marriage, for example." KB ...... Can you say "puppet" kev ?"

In terms of my preferences, Labor's really really lucky that the Libs are so illiberal, else they would not be getting them." KB ... Can you say "LDP" kev ?"

Can you say " educated brainwashed free range serf sheeple on a free range serf urepresentative shamocracy farm" ?

In my electorate I will vote

Socialist Alliance
Green
Non liblab
Non liblab
Non liblab
Liberal
Labor

It may sound strange that *I* would put Liberal ahead of Labor, but there is a very good reason. We are a blue ribbon Labor seat (Swing needed >20%). Because of that we, like blue ribbon Liberal seats get phkorl from every government. We must become a swinging seat. Once a swinging seat, I will be putting Liberal last.

No, not THAT bad. It is the fact that blue ribbon seats receive nothing from either of the parties. The member knows that the seat is safe, and the challenger has no hope. We lack

public transport
safe highways
educational funding
sporting facilities
major infrastructure projects
sufficient hospitals and rehabs

A pox on both their houses.

No Family First Matt? I am shocked!

Personally, I liked the Dems a hell of a lot more than the Greens - but they are gone now. Still, I just have no stomach for Brown. What is it with these Tasmanians?
