Could you summarise the key points of the "Libertarian Party" manifesto for us...so we know what you, politically, actually believe in?
I did try and "google", but based on the results ...things became very unclear...very quickly...
Thanks in advance for your clarity.

Well Libertarianism is a broad term -- originally it came from Anarchism (so I'm told) and lately co-opted by conservatives. I'm not a dictionary. I just voted for Gary Johnson simply because Obama's push for the NDAA act (Google P.A.N.D.A.A. if you want to know more) disgusted me and I really did not like Romney either, so...

Just to map across to UK politics...is there a UKI party you support?

Not from what I've heard. Maybe there seems to be talk of "National Anarchism" which has some ideas I like but then there's that Troy Southgate who does seem affable enough but his background and some of his views are just not my cup of tea. I'm kinda moving away from that because of the controversy.

Well Labor would seem to be the lesser of two evils at the moment. I'd rather kiss a warthog than vote Tory.

Well I give you credit for "declaring", although how that links to your US "Libetarian" agenda, is a bit of a struggle for me...

Just because I voted that way doesn't mean I'm necessarily Libertarian, except I do believe in liberty, which Pinochet didn't and I suspect Maggie didn't either.
