Seems a lot of people on these forums think another political party is going to make us more free. I've got a hypothetical situation for you to ponder....
So there's the rise of this third party that overtakes, or at least is competitive with the Repub. and Demo. parties. It doesn't matter what the ideology of this party is, (could be on any side of the Nolan chart) only that the party is very successful in implementing its ideas. We'll assume the party's minarchist here....... so at this stage in the country everything is privatized except for the police force, water system, and health care (again, just examples).
Situation 1: The population sees how much better things work without government involvement in EVERY OTHER aspect of the economy, so doesn't it make sense that they'd support privatization of everything? And wouldn't that involve getting the members of said political party (and any other government workers) to essentially step down from power, since there's no way to vote for no government?
Situation 2: The population likes the minarchist system the way it is, so why even have a political party? If no new laws are wanted by the people then why do you need politicians?
My point being, every political party has an agenda. Once the agenda is complete, why would you even need to put forward legislation? It's obvious there's many freedoms which haven't been taken away yet because there's always legislation going on in Washington. The "elites" agenda is obviously not complete.
