Only in America You Say? Pity

An anonymous commenter on one of my older posts left an interesting link. I can honestly say that up to this point I had never heard of the Libertarian Party in the United States.

From their website:
Unlike liberals or conservatives, Libertarians advocate a high degree of both personal and economic liberty. For example, Libertarians agree with conservatives about freedom in economic matters, so we're in favor of lowering taxes, slashing bureaucratic regulation of business, and charitable -- rather than government -- welfare. But Libertarians also agree with liberals on personal tolerance, so we're in favor of people’s right to choose their own personal habits and lifestyles.

With so many of our political parties vying for the coveted “middle of the road”, it would be interesting to see how well a Libertarian Party would do up here in Canada. Just how many Red Tories and Blue Liberals are out there? Could we amount to more than just a faction of the Conservative or Liberal parties?
