Libertarian Party

Big Tent Libertarianism

   **Overview**

The Libertarian Party was a socially libertarian political party that is one of the oldest political organizations in Adoria.

## **History**

The Libertarian Party is one of the first parties to be founded after The Nation of Followerspar declared its independence. Their first leader was dalton.h1. It grew in size as a pro-liberty and economically right wing political force.

In their first election the Libertarian Party got 12 seats,making it the biggest in parliament. They made the Freedom Union Coalition, which included the Libertarian Party, the Liberal Democrat Party, the Conservative Party, the Christian Union and the Monarchist Party. Spore, who was the party leader at that time, became the Prime Minister.

While being in government, they got most of their social and economic agenda passed. Spore resigned from the Libertarian Party leadership after a few days since he became PM, with Blueblaze911 winning the party election and taking his place. Some parties left due to ideological differences: the LibDems switched over to the Democratic Coalition, the Monarchists disbanded and the CU left the coalition. Still, it remained in government, mainly because the Democratic Coalition didnt want to seize power while being in a war.

In the next election they got 13 seats, though the Parliament grew to 100 seats instead of 80. They formed a coalition with the Balkan Party and the Conservative Party, with 37 seats, forming a minority government. Blueblaze911 remained the PM.

After Blueblaze911 stepped down from the leadership position, Swinn\_Flu won the election and became the chairman of the party. In the third election, the libertarians dropped from 13 seats to 8 seats, getting 7% of the vote.

BluXtreme led the Libertarian Party for a time, but it slowly lost its weight as it gained five seats in the November 2nd Election, then a measly two and three seats in following elections of that year.

In December of 2019, underthe leadership of computerguy15, the Libertarian Party became dormant and did not even sign up for a general election. Then, as elections approached, a radical libertarian movement called the Union Movement, led by stickysoap and Aaron123 registered for the election. After leaving with twelve seats, it was merged with the Libertarian Party.

The Libertarian Party was then led solely by stickysoap and assumed a "big tent libertarianism" policy in which members were expected to ignore economic differences and focus on combating authoritarianism.

On January 4/5, on the eve of the election, the incumbent prime minister outlawed militias and used his authority to hinder the property rights of businesses. In response, the Libertarian Party, under the command of stickysoap, called for an open rebellion against the Adorian government. This action led to the Libertarian Party being banned, until action was taken by the incumbent president to repeal the ban on both the Libertarian Party and militias. According to the results of the election, the Libertarian Party gained two more seats (total of fourteen). This series of events led to the party sponsoring the the creation of the Minutemen.

The Libertarian Party officially disbanded on 13/01/2020. stickysoap made several statements announcing this, one of which he cited a dispute he had with the owners of the server, and claimed that the "nation and server are corrupt beyond repair."

stickysoap returned not too long after, to reform the Libertarian Party. The Libertarian ran in several elections and gained more popularity than in the previous election. At its peak, it reached about seventy registered members in Adoria and one-hundred and twenty members in its Discord server. It was at this time when the Libertarian Party began to reach out to other Libertarians outside of Adoria and even enter a voice channel with the real Libertarian National Committee Chair Nicholas Sarwark.

In mid-April during the general election, internal elections were held in which Fran took first place by a vote of 54.5%, stickysoap took second place by 36.4% and Ancap Trap 9.1%. stickysoap resigned from what would have been deputy leadership position, and so Ancap Trap was made deputy party leader. Fran was the new libertarian party leader.

Fran is the seventh leader of the Libertarian Party as of 13/4/2020.

## **Policies and Activity**
