Scottish Libertarian Movement

While the party is unable to release names and addresses for fear of offending the Data Protection Act, I would draw the attention of Scottish members to this post on the Scottish Libertarian Party blog.

We will try to canvas scottish members by direct email tomorrow. We have been contacted by an organiser of the North Carolina who is moving back to his home town of Glasgow in the next two months and is keen to help revitalise Libertarianism in Scotland.

This is hopefully a welcome move towards a Federal Libertarian Party we all want to see, where members can actually meet,talk and debate in a civilised manner and control their own funds, run their own campaigns and elect their own officers.

The South West & Kernow have already moved in that direction, with Wales to follow in the next few months.

The new website www.libertarianpartyuk.com will give details on how any regional group can affiliate and what procedures have to be followed with the Electoral Commission.

As per the Chairman's recent email, we are moving away from the friction of being an internet party towards one that interacts with members face to face and with the public.
