I would suggest coming up with some kind of policy or platform then. No one's going to vote for a group when they have no direction or clear past history.
That's exactly what is wrong with the Liberal idea of liberty. In fact so liberated are we under Liberal rule that we are forced to do what we ought because our betters tell us to in law. No longer can we be stupid and decide for ourselves if helmets, seat belts, or life jackets are a good idea. No longer can we smoke in our own apartments (if the BChRC get their way). God I hate "liberty".
Freedom is not the right to do what we want, but what we ought. Let us have faith that right makes might and in that faith let us; to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it. Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) Politician. President of the United States.
"The only freedom which deserves the name, is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it. Each is the proper guardian of his own health, whether bodily, or mental and spiritual. Mankind are greater gainers by suffering each other to live as seems good to themselves, than by compelling each to live as seems good to the rest." John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
