Are you going to vote for them, Ziggy?

I guess it's better to vote libertarian than any other party - yet, I can't shake my feeling that the very words 'Libertarian' and 'Party' are ultimately at odds with eachother.

I hear that a lot

The Liberal Democrats are a rarity amongst liberal parties around the world in that it's amalgamation of left liberalism (social-liberalism) & right liberalism (classical-liberalism) though its pretty evident that social-liberals are the more dominant group.

 Generally around the globe particularly in countries such as Australia & the Netherlands you're find that there are at least two liberal parties one representing right liberalism & one representing left liberalism.

 Though I might disagree with some left liberals on economic matters at least I get their support on civil liberties, constitutional reform & dispersal of power.
