| Here is the Libertarian Party Platform, adopted May 2016: https://www.lp.org/platform Some things in there that might turn someone who is typically Republican or conservative off of the Libertarian Party (and therefore the Libertarian Party's candidate): • No restriction on abortion. • Gets rid of foreign foreign economic and military aid (which I'm assuming would include getting rid of aid to Israel, which is why I think it would be a problem for Republicans). • Calls for close to an open borders policy (exceptions being for people who pose a creditable threat to security, health, or property). • Full legalization of most drugs. Some things in there that might turn off someone who is typically a Democrat or liberal off include: • Government should not discriminate on the basis of sex, wealth, ethnicity, creed, age, national origin, personal habits, political preference or sexual orientation, but private parties can. Those who disagree with a private party's choice to discriminate can respond with ostracism, boycotts, and other free-market solutions. • No minimum wage. • Implied elimination of public schools. (Education best provided by the free market, and government should not compete with private enterprise). |
