PLATFORM
 The political platform of the Libertarian Party reflects the ideas of
libertarianism, favoring minimally regulated markets, a less powerful
state, strong civil liberties, the legalization of cannabis, separation of
church and state, open immigration, non-interventionism and neutrality
in diplomatic relations, freedom of trade and travel to all foreign
countries, and a more responsive and direct democracy. The Libertarian
Party has also supported the repeal of NAFTA, CAFTA, and similar trade
agreements, as well as the United States exit from the United Nations,
WTO, and NATO.
POLITICAL WORLD
 Libertarians believe in strict limitations on government, direct
democracy, and the restoring of civil liberties.
 Gun Control- The government would restore civil liberties by repealing
gun control laws that infringe on the right to self-defense.
 Drugs- The government wants to release all non-violent prisoners to
declare drug peace.
 The libertarians are liberal in this world because they don’t want
government intervention.
ECONOMIC WORLD
 Libertarians believe in no Federal control over business regulations, a
free-market economy, low taxes, protection of property rights, and free
or voluntarily trade.
 Economy- The government should have no intervention with the
economy.
 Property Rights- The government’s only role should be to protect
property rights, adjudicate disputes, and provide a legal framework in
which voluntary trade is protected.
 Libertarians are liberal in this world because they do not support
government intervention.
SOCIAL WORLD
 Libertarians believe that welfare, education, social security, and
healthcare should be out of the Federal Government’s control.
 Health Care- The government should make health care safe and
affordable.
 Education- The government should not interfere with the parents’
choice of their children’s education.
 Libertarians are liberal in this world because they refuse government to
intervene in social issues.
CULTURAL WORLD
 Libertarians believe in separation of church and state and the
legalization of cannabis.
 Drugs-The government should legalize drugs.
 Abortion- The government should be kept out of the matter, and
women have complete control of their body.
 Libertarians are liberal in this world because once again they strongly
believe that the government’s power should be limited.
