Each nation must be free to determine its policies to the benefit of its citizens.
The first duty of the state is to provide external and internal defence of the citizenry.
For individuals must be maximised - even if the state accepts responsibility for provision of a safety net.
For responsible individuals, guaranteed by the rule of law administered by and independent judiciary and minimal state activity.
Defined by geography, tradition, inheritance and sense of identity.
Fostered by a low tax, low inflation economy - with currency exchange rates determined by the free market.
The exercise of political power, with the consent of the people - through regular elections on the basis of universal suffrage and a secret ballot.
The most effective system of wealth creation. Free markets are blind to gender, race, class or religion.
Domestic and global - to maximise freedom of choice and individual responsibility in an improved society.
