Nonetheless I think there is a role for a libertarian party. If you go to the back of 'Free to Choose' where the Friedmans reproduce the platform of the US Socialist party, you see that most of it has been implemented. The Socialist party won the ideological battle without ever getting elected. The role of a libertarian party is similar. It should be principled but reasoned. Its aim is not to win for the sake of winning but simply to give more public exposure to its ideas. Politics is just one other platform.
