State of the Libertarian Party
•
by HeadmistressTalia
I want to take this moment to talk to you about the state of the Libertarian party. On paper we look great: we have 756 members and are the second highest ranked party in the eUS. In fact, we’re ranked 6th in the whole world.
But when you look at practical numbers you’ll be disappointe😛
we have 11% of congress which puts us dead last. It makes you wonder if the Libertarian are a party in name only.
That was what I was thinking when I announced my candidacy for party president. And since then? Exciting things have happened.
What exactly has changed? Well, some Libertarians have stepped up to the plate and have begun energizing the party again. We actually have posts on the Libertarian forums (http://eusforum.com/index.php?board=22.0). We have established an organization to get things done. And we’re doing it!
So at this time I’d like to introduce you to some important people who are actively working on making us a vibrant party again:
Our congressional whips, who are tasked with helping get more Libertarians electe😛

Our Recruitment Chair, who is responsible for encouraging people to join our part:
K_Swoosh
And our Ninja Turtles Squadron (why not have fun with names?), who are busily improving our wiki entry:
Chisholm
Julius Rodvio
Publius
Thank you to all the great volunteers who want to improve our party. I hope to seem many more Libertarians get active and return us to a vibrant, living party.

As I said on the forum, anything I can do to help elect Libertarians or elect myself as a Libertarian, let me know.
The main problem with the libs is that they are an old party and a huge chunk of their members have gone inactive or died. Emerick kept the party on life support but then the party slowly started to die once he left. I think you would be able to turn it around, unlike the last two lib pps.
I hope I can turn it around. It's not going to happen overnight but I'm encouraged by the activity I'm seeing. And thanks for the offer Nick - you may want to talk to k_swoosh about helping out with recruitment.
lol, cheers DF. How are your inactive congressmen doing?
I believe in you Talia! I think we can do it with you as our leader. While I despise the idea of parties in general, I recognize the necessity of them.
I'll see what I can do from my position, too.
I know we can get this party going again. Great work as usual getting the message out Talia!
I'm behind you Talia and all of the party's leadership! The turnaround is happening.

Most success to you in elections Mistress Talia, I know that you will be an outstanding leader for the Libertarians as you have evidenced during the last couple of weeks. Voted.
woot woot, OUR LEADER!
i like ninja turtles.
I have been a Lib since I started and, finally, I can feel life coming into the party, thanks to people like you, Talia 😃.

While I am new to this game in comparison to the rest of you, I am very interested in the Libertarian Party in eUS and have been chomping at the bit to get involved.
The biggest flaw I see in this is it isn't really set up to allow instant immersion into the game. You sit on the outside looking in at possibilities. Most get bored and leave. Very few donate to kick start things into high gear.
