The Libertarian Party platform calls for radical redesign of our national government institutions toward fewer decisions and less regulation over people and money. Libertarians would like to limit our national level decisions and regulations to the barest minimum. Libertarians are skeptical of the need for centralized regulation in most matters. We favor individual self-determination. Regulations are usually self-defeating, often amplifying the very problems they were intended to solve.
Individuals are naturally self-determining unless they are forcibly prevented by regulations.
Community and regional self-determination can only grow when the power of the national government over communities and regions is diminished.
