As talk of a February election is being discussed in the media and questions are being asked about the extent to which we now live in a big brother nation, The Libertarian Party in the UK is increasingly using a series of tests, which were announced earlier this year, to
check the Big Government and Statist values of any policies or
legislation put forward by Political Parties, Local Authorities,
Quangos and the EU.
Q: Is this policy or legislation really for the benefit of the individual in the UK, or is
it only in the interests of Corporations or Government to the detriment of the individual.
A: It must fulfil the
first part or it is not good law for the UK.
Test 2 is the Stalin Test.
Q: Would Stalin have found such a policy or legislation useful in furthering his state control apparatus.
A: If so, it is not good law for the UK.
Test 3: Rule of law
Q: Does the policy/legislation respect the rule of law and basic rules of English jurisprudence?
A: If
not, it's not good law for the UK.
You
may see Libertarian Blogs and Press Releases applying these tests, which we would like to see being used more and more as
policy announcements are made by the current Government, Tories and LibDems in order to
fool voters that their brand of Big Government Statism will be so much better for you.
The
Libertarian Party is committed to making the life of the individual one
which is free from Government interference, and to disentangle
Corporate interests and government legislation.
