The Freedom Party and why it is Needed

Precious few people have any enthusiasm for the political classes in the UK and this disillusionment with business as usual party politics is by no means an exclusively UK phenomena.The rise of UKIP has coincided with widespread weariness not to say disgust with the mainstream parties and politicians as a species apart with their corruption and cronyism.UKIP are riding the zeitgeist in this respect. The time is therfor ripe for a political movement and party that can best articulate and accomodate this cynicism and jaded distrust of the existing political order.This is the age of individualism and the young generation especially want no truck with the take it or leave it top down paternalism which runs through the dna of the main political parties with their appeal to outdated identity politics that are divisive as they are unethical.If a clear and concise argument for freedom not statism is presented it will find a ready audience hungry for revolutionary thinking that will break the shackles of government knows best centralist rule predicated on old egalitarian notions held conciously by no one but given lip service to by politicians as their cover whilst their hands are busy in the wallets and purses of the people.Whilst libertaraian movements exist in the UK they are as silent as the night,have no presenece in the media and are busy talking to themselves in ivory towers on the internet.But the problem with libertarianism is far deeper than that and i will touch on it briefly only to explain why I beleive it has to be rejected as a political movement.The reason it has not gained traction is because philosophically it is all over the shop and to call it a broad church would be an understatement.You can be a libertarian and a socialist,communist,liberal,anarchist conservative - a Nazi for all I know.All of this is so hopelessly contradictory and philosophically illiterate as to be beyond risible and explains why as a movement it has got absolutely nowhere.The Greens and UKIP have been around just a decade or so and they have already eclipsed libertarianism by a country mile.If they had a Farage they might just wing it but there is no such on the horizon and for the abovementioned reasons I do not think they can advance a coherent programme under any circumstances.So hence the need for a Freedom Party.
