Welcome to Libertarian Home

A space for political libertarians

This is our space to share our policy ideas and act to change the political landscape for the better.

Steven Stewart

I have always been a libertarian, but only recently discovered libertarianism. My thoughts and ideas have always fitted along the same philosophical perspective of what some would call libertarian. I lean a bit more to the left on certain issues, and although it may not be considered libertarian as such, I am persuaded by arguments for regulation where there is a truly convincing argument to be made. I am an open-minded individual, and I hope that comes across in a lot of my writings, wherever you may see them. I write on pretty much everything, but by reading this profile, you will mostly be familiar with my writing on liberty. Check out my website for the other stuff I write, and you will see that my humour comes across a lot more when I am writing on other subjects, or even when the topic isn't particularly political, but is merely written for amusement. I hope you enjoy what you read.

Who are the Invisible Children?

Despite the troubles, LPUK will always have my support

I have only recently joined the Libertarian Party, so I am not entirely involved in the history which has led to some accusations being made against its leader, Andrew Withers. I only know one side of the story, and that is the side which has made such accusations which I do not wish to...

The Challenges of the Abortion Debate

I am of the view that perhaps the greatest challenge a libertarian will face in defining their politics is when faced with the argument on abortion. A debate that has raged on for literally decades, it is perhaps one of the more troubling subjects with which some libertarians will struggle to get to grips....

Is Libertarianism Compatible With a Welfare State?

The short answer to this question is “No”. The long answer to this question – in summary – is “it depends”. It depends on the circumstances in which a welfare state exists, the aims of the welfare state and the success in achieving those aims. Most who are familiar with libertarianism will likely be...

Three essentials for liberty

The United States of America is going through a huge change at the moment. The Republican presidential primaries are in full swing, displaying a growing rift in the GOP. One side is supporting the status quo of growing government and military bullying overseas, while spouting meaningless rhetoric on spending cuts. The other side is...
