A space for political libertarians
This is our space to share our policy ideas and act to change the political landscape for the better.
Liberty league forum 2013 has done it again. Last years was well worth the trip to Newcastle, and this years was just as good. I’m certain no-one left feeling like they hadn’t learnt something useful. The cost of the ticket to attend not only reasonable but a good investment. All meals are paid for,...

We’ve been here before: a school massacre, media saturation coverage, the anti-gun lobby in full, furious flow, seeking to pin the blame on responsible gun owners and the NRA for the act of one crazy individual.
