For Brits (and anyone interested)
There is a cool internet app which encourages you to "vote for policies" rather than parties in the General Election. It's quite amazing seeing which parties you stand with on different policies. I chose to do the full quiz (the minimum is 4 policies) and here are my results:

Detailed: http://voteforpolicies.org.uk/survey/res...7A87C852D3

Go to http://voteforpolicies.org.uk to take part. Post your results here and say if you were surprised at which parties you "support" policy-wise. For me, it was quite predictable. The Conservatives and UKIP are the closest approximations of Libertarianism in this country (apart from the tiny Libertarian Party UK), and the Lib Dems are supporters of individual Liberty and I share a few values with them.

Economy Green Party

Health / NHS BNP

The BNP focused on health tourism and hospitals not being to the best of quality.

Whoever you vote for, government wins. A plague on all their houses. Self-interest, lies, corruption, theft.... How easily we forget when promised our 'say'. Those who did not take part in the organised theft of your and my resources are equally guilty for failing to stop it. They have 'clubs' and catchphrases to denote the various 'scams' perpetrated on us, evidence of the depth of their corruption. Do ANY of you REALLY take these f****** seriously anymore??? Wow. X2.

UKIP are a good party to vote for if that is your attitude. They are Libertarians and want to reduce government, make things more transparent, etc. I'm not saying they won't get corrupted as all politicians do, but they aren't currently (since they aren't in power).
