    kh, I have pleasure in pointing out that you are wrong! David Leyonhjelm is the reader you mention, his party got my vote in our recent senate election. The Liberal Democratic Party is liberal in the true sense of the word, not at all as the word is now used in the US and not at all like the US Democrats. If you read down the column further you will see him described as 'True libertarian', essentially small government. property rights, individual freedom. (I do not recall a stated position on patents and copyright).

      I stand corrected lucky. I could barely read it. No wonder his last book read was FC. Have you had a chance to read it yet? What's in a name? Sigh

        The good news about Leyonhjelm is that he is smart and presentable. Puts his ideas well, I met him here when he spoke to our local Austrian-School group. Yes he would have read The Frankenstein Candidate which puts him ahead of me. Australians admit that the voting system here is strange, that is how we get senators with small electoral support, for example we have the LibDems who are for both personal and economic freedom as well as the big parties who are for little of either in measured amounts.
