timothius said:What is the Libertarianz position on drug use?
Libertarianz would repeal laws prohibiting drug use. Each individual owns his own life; therefore he has the right to treat his body as he chooses.
What about the roads? Would they be privatised as well?
Definitely - but not immediately. Currently there is little fairness in the roading system. House owners who don't own a car are forced to pay for roads through their rates. Libertarianz would abolish road-user charges, fuel tax, road funding from rates etc. and allow user-paid, privately-owned and operated roads. Billing could be achieved through electronic metering, charged according to the type of road and the time of day travelling took place. Congestion could be relieved by billing users less at off-peak times than at peak times.

Bye interference it's been a good time, but sadly lack of a quality broadband connection prevents my posting.
timothius said:What is the Libertarianz position on self-defence?
Libertarianz believes that all citizens have the right to self-defence and the right to possess the means of self-defence. This right is delegated to the government, for the purpose of an orderly, legally defined enforcement. The police, however, cannot be everywhere at all times. It is essential, therefore, that individuals have the right to possess the means of self-defence as a last resort in the defence of their own life, liberty & property.
But wouldn't more guns mean more crime?
Prohibition doesn't disarm criminals. It only disarms law-abiding citizens. Criminals will always be able to obtain weapons, whether legal or not, but will be less likely to commit crime when citizens have the means of self-defence.
Americanisation...

Axver said:
I truly can't believe how close this is! I wonder, though - will National be able to get enough support from minor parties to form a coalition government?

Winston said he would support whoever got the most seats, but thats what he said. He could switch.
Peter Dunne's UFNZ said the same thing. But wont sit in a coalition with the Greens... so everything is not lost for the Nats but I'm not holding my breath.
If not now then perhaps next time around ~ incumbent government is only going to get more stale.timothius said:
