What would an Objectivist UK look like and what would it involve? I can only offer the following very broad sketch. Firstly, an outright rejection of Conservatism and its tradition worship,its lickspittle allegiance to monarchy and its mystical belief in altruism and State patronage and of course Labour with its undiluted statism.
An abolition of all taxation over a ten year period with its implicit abandonment of all welfare programmes and the funding of armed forces police and courts on a voluntary basis.
Others can fill in the details.I am not a policy wonk or a Ryan Paul.Simple declaration would say the State is not your parent.It will not police who you sleep with,what you ingest,what healthcare you purchase,what school to send your child to,how you spend your money.
The State's sole purpose is to protect your individual rights and to punish those who would seek to violate them.When it becomes the violator of said rights it is illegitimate and should be overthrown.The right to bear arms is in the Bill of Rights and people have a right to defend themselves against a tyrannical state.Capitalism is the only system that guarantees the above and any attempt to regulate it is the first step to Statism via the primrose path of the mixed economy on the altar of which all the main political parties worship.
