What basic approach would Libertarians take if they were elected?
If a Libertarian government was elected, it would reduce taxes to a minimum and reduce the size of government to a minimum. It would also remove restrictions on personal and economic freedom and seek to remove government interference from as many areas of life as possible. It would maintain what we see as the legitimate functions of government – the administration of justice and national defence – and would ensure that these functions worked effectively in protecting rights and freedoms.
