One of the main aims of the LPUK over the next 12 months is to convert ourselves from an online talking-shop into a real-world, campaign based, political party.
Now of course this is going to be quite a task given the resources at our disposal and the opposition we face. However, we are already making good progress towards this goal.
Gavin Webb, the UK's only Libertarian Councilor, has put together the website freemancampaigns.com to help Libertarians easily produce campaign material so they can organise in their local area.
Also in the South East we have already run our first campaign day in St Albans and we have many more planned.
So, how can you help us fight for liberty? Simple, you can give us one of two things. You can give us your time or a little of your money.
If you have time available and you live in the South East join our activists group and help us organise our campaign days. Or if you live elsewhere in the UK join freemancampaigns.com and start organising with your party branch in your local area.
But if like many of us you are very busy you can donate just a few quid to help us run our campaigns. For example -- for every £200 we raise we can print over 10,000 flyers or more than 5,000 newsletters which will help us promote the Party and libertarianism. Donations can be made on our website or you can transfer money directly to our Acc. No. 92635313 Sort Code 40-28-20.
If you can spare a little of the above you will make a big difference and helps us Fight for Liberty Today.

Whilst formulating ideas and principles is an excellent exercise, have you given any thought to the consequences of mobilising the process of contending parliamentary seats.
The biggest issue you should consider is that of dilution of focus.
Today, the main parties and the EU in particular do not want a strong focused opposition party. Ideally, they want a fragmented disarray of numerous sub parties each diluting the overall groundswell of dis-satisfaction into fragments all competing with one another for the voters.
So long as the opposition remains multifaceted and fragmented, it can never be an issue.
The greater question should be - how can LPUK unite the various fragments into a single cohesive party capable of having a voice.
LPUK, UKIP, BNP, Veritas, etc. etc. How can these splinters be united into a party worth voting for, and who can do this?
Our voting system guarantees failure unless we can stand together into a Save Our Country coalition.
LPUK is the only party that wants to remove fear and force from the centre of policy by consistently applying the non-aggression principle.
What you are suggesting amounts to an alliance with thugs. I'm no-one to determine LPUK policy, but surely its up to the thugs to renounce violence and join LPUK not the other way around.
Interesting point but the BNP are beyond redemption. If their supporters had any common sense at all they'd at least vote UKIP. It just staggers me that they believe they can exclude a huge chunk of the voting public with their views and still think they could form anything close to a government.
Great, you have both come up with valid reasons why NOT to unify - that was the easy bit.
Now tackle the hard question - how to unify in such a manner that votes won't be split and wasted?
What is better - to vote along with BNP supporters to oust this government or to stand and vote against them and achieve nothing but the pleasure of calling them thugs ?
You join me first - No, you join me first - No, you...
How effective a strategey do you think that is against the big three???
Even if I thought racism was great, it'd still be counterproductive to ally with the BNP. Most people find them disgusting even if they agree with some of their concerns (EU, limitless immigration etc.). You have to draw a line somewhere.
A good way to do this wold be to generate publicity from national elections. Oh, hang on you decided not to do that didn't you.
Hey ho, at least those dictatorial powers are still in effect eh.
