Hi folks,
This could be considered the first formal announcement of my candidacy in the upcoming federal election. I am running on the Liberty & Democracy Party ticket. The LDP is the only party that promotes a decrease in the size of our government, and a reduction to its burdensome influence in our everyday lives and decisions. In short, we stand for low taxes, free enterprise, civil rights, and personal responsibility.
Getting into politics was never something I’d planned on. I became involved in the LDP earlier this year after a long stint of total political apathy. There seemed to be little choice available: both of the major parties are more or less the same, and all of the existing minor parties that I’d heard of were simply short-sighted, narrow-minded special interest groups. They certainly didn’t interest me. It was then that I came across the Liberty & Democracy party (then the Liberal Democratic Party) via John Humphreys’ Australian Libertarian Society. The message of small government struck a chord with me, and it continues to do so today.
I intend to use this blog to post relevant things that are going on with my campaign. Anyone who wishes to join in the discussion may do so, or you can email any questions to info@ldp.org.au with my name in the subject field.
Cheers,
-Dan
