LIBERTARIANS SUPPORT DAVIS
The Libertarian Party invites David Davis to “Join Us”

The UK Libertarian Party has extended an invitation to David Davis to
join them, after the Shadow Home Secretary resigned as an MP over the
42 day detention law.

The party's Director of Communications, Chris Mounsey, said, “The
Libertarian Party applauds David Davis' principled stand over this
deeply illiberal measure.

“The Libertarian Party is the only UK political party which prioritises freedom and civil liberties above all else.

“As such, we feel sure that Mr Davis would be right at home in the Libertarian Party and invite him to join us.”

Patrick Vessey, Leader of the Libertarian Party, echoed his colleague's sentiments:

“In this day and age, with spin and political corruption so commonplace
that it's taken for granted that all Members of Parliament are simply
in the job for what they can personally extract from the taxpayer, a
man of rare integrity has reminded us all of the long democratic
tradition in our nation.

“The Libertarian Party will not be standing against Mr Davis in the
coming by-election, and will rather offer our total support to Mr
Davis' campaign, whether he stands as a Conservative or Independent
candidate.”

Mr Vessey concluded: “Should Mr Davis find that the party of which he
is currently a member does not share his grave and quite justified
concerns about the continuing erosion of our precious civil liberties,
he would be welcome to join the only British political party for which
these issues are a matter of core principle, rather than purely the
stuff of sound-bites.”

David Davis resigns from Commons

Shadow home secretary David Davis has resigned as an MP, reports the BBC.

He is to force a by-election in his Haltemprice and Howden constituency
which he will fight on the issue of the new 42-day terror detention
limit.

Mr Davis told reporters outside the House of Commons he
believed his move was a “noble endeavour” to stop the erosion of
British civil liberties.

The 59-year-old is one of the best known Tory MPs and his resignation came as a complete surprise in Westminster.

He told reporters outside the Commons: “I will argue in this
by-election against the slow strangulation of fundamental British
freedoms by this government.”

Conservative sources have told BBC Political Editor Nick Robinson Mr Davis told Mr Cameron of his decision on Wednesday evening.

His by-election campaign would be “personal” and not backed by the full resources of Conservative HQ, the source added.

It is also thought Mr Davis has spoken to Liberal Democrat
leader Nick Clegg, who also voted against 42 days, to secure an
agreement that his party will not field a candidate in the by-election.

As a Libertarian I fully support this move by David Davis, a political heavyweight who for the first time in a long time is standing firmly behind the British people and saying enough is enough.

If David needs a political platform, the doors of the Libertarian Party are wide open for him.

In a Libertarian society, the rights and laws protect the individual from the government.

In a dictatorship, the rights and laws protect the government from the people.

Last nights vote in the Commons on 42 days detention without charge proves the point.
