Welcome to the home of the Free Trade Party. The FTP has
a vision of limited "government" (self-government) consisting of voluntarily-funded providers of personal and property security.
People will buy insurance from free market insurance companies who are bound by judge-made law decided
by the courts specified in people's contracts.
Governments (states) exist primarily to secure property, and it makes sense that providers
of property security services should funded by property owners, and NOT traders. Taxes on trade, such
as Income Tax and various sales taxes that are used to fund today's government services cause mind-boggling economic
and social losses.
Regulation of trade also costs us a fortune! All legislation from drug prohibition to urban
zoning laws can be scrapped - these problems will be dealt with more effectively and fairly by judge-made law (like product
liability in Common Law). Courts will simply award remedies to victims, and nobody will be busted based on statistics.
But is this too rational and too fair for the true politicians among us?

We have to eliminate systemic (structural) problems to eliminate rampant vote-buying. Our "representatives"
should be the people we vote for voluntarily with our contracts, written in the currency of our choice, to protect our
property and other interests.
"Free trade" does not refer to state-managed trade agreements, though any real trade de-regulation
is positive. Free trade does refer to trade that is free of taxes and legislation. Legislating trade
and taxing trade are not consistent with our principles.
This website is designed to affect outcomes in terms of people's freedom and prosperity by infuencing policy and contributing
