| Message | We must ask why. This gives more voice to more people, which means that they have more rights, and that means that there is less government, by definition. |

| Message | We are against government, we are a libertarian party. Government should be as small as possible ideally so small it does not exist, and it's areas of concern should only be the protection of one citizen from attack, or coercion by another, and protection of the state from aggression from another state. It does not take many MP's to achieve this therefore any attempt to increase government has always been, and likely always will be, resisted by this party as it opposes our most fundamental tenet. |

| Random fact: Any RP law granting extraordinary "emergency powers" or dictator-like powers to a government must be passed by at least a 2/3rds majority, but (like all RP laws) may always be overturned by a simple majority vote of the legislature. |
